The first store had about 6 Astor & Black shirts a couple of Ike Behars and a Uniqlo shirt. Next stop had a couple recent Tom James Royal Classic shirt (very recent with just the small blue "royal classic" tag a Uniqlo shirt and one Astor & Black. A couple stores later a huge amount of TJ Royal Classic a handful of Uniqlo shirts and maybe 5-6 Ike Behars. So I guess if there are any locals of that area on here who find something nice at one store it might be a good idea to make a day out of it.

stuff I picked up:
a couple Ben Silver shirts
vintage Brook Brothers merino made in Italy sweater
a tame Robert Graham
recent Zegna linen shirt
a Thomas Pink 170's shirt
recent Valentino Roma shirt
older Zegna "performance" SC nicest one of this vintage I've found
RLPL tie
a handful of BB ties
a single Zegna tie
Hilditch & Key tie
mint older Southwick suit

I have a couple questions though. I found a shirt that has Holland & Sherry embroidered in the back of the neck and no tags. Is it likely a Tom James?

And I found the Drakes tie at TJ Maxx. Should it have a "handmade in England" tag? Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Yes, I've seen that tag on Drake's before. The ones I've almost cop had it on the side of the tip. I've also seen similar tags on RLPL ties. Prolly Drake's for RLPL. Good stuff!

+1   Oh, and thank you capnwes for hooking me up with that beige overcoat/carcoat! My first beige overcoat. Wore it today in the snow with my new Dents gloves from Marshalls, but didn't take a thrift fit pic since only half of my outfit was thrift/discount store (though I was wearing 5 layers on top, and two pieces were vintage/consignment...).

 I'd be interested in any leftovers if there are any and they fit

+1  Is this the first Tom Ford that was actually thrifted (as opposed to negotiated)? Nicely done.

I actually really like this. I can see how the blue hues would really pop in different lighting.

Tom Ford - Hah, some MTM thing I guess, it is missing tags. Shoulders width out at 22" and the pit to pit is 23". Like a 42/44US with 50US shoulders. Maybe an olympic swimmers jacket. Pants also incredibly trim, nut crushers. Pretty unforgiving for me I am taking this to a tailors to see what can be done to it to make fit. If not destined to work for me, will be trade fodder here or have to be sold.
I will say picked from the Central Coast me old beauty - San Francisco sucks for thrifting lately. Northern California has taken a turn for the worse last one year - way too many people doing exactly what we doing. I am planning on returning to South Bay to pick - I am desperately in need of provisions for my wardrobe since I junked approximately 60% of it when I decided most my gear was past its shelf date.

Too many pickers, my local (as in 20 miles from where I live) had around 6 flippers chucking stuff in trolleys. It was easy for me, enter and leave in a matter of 10 seconds. My favorite spot in Napa has been killed recently - hordes of people all the time and seen one or two flippers decimating the stock

Damn, we should keep this thread private. Too man lurkers on here! OH well, It's too late. I still think there's plenty to go around. But I've killed my dream of becoming a professional flipper. Way too much work and way too much competition. I guess I'll stick to my day job...

Well, thrifting during the small snow storm we got today turned out to be a success. While the transit was less than desirable, the weather kept the crowds down in the stores. I was able to snag lots of things and get in and out quickly without lines and cart kicking....

I have quite a list of braggable items including appearances by the likes of Samuelsohn, Vintage Banana Republic, Gitman Brothers, Bills Khakis, Church's, PRL, Orvis, Harris Tweed, Brooks Brothers, Hickey Freeman, Some NY Bespoke Shit, etc...

I did have time tonight to take a few pics of two items which stood out of the haul. More pics possible this weekend. I am sanding/refinishing my hardwood floor this weekend so my SF time will be scarce.

Crazy Evisu Genes Reversable Selvedge, likely only one or two washes. Selvedge is on the outside, seamed in a inverted fashion from the typical setup. I can't find a lot on this model, but there are indications of around a $400 MSRP.  I went through a few guides and am 99.99% sure they are authentic, based on rivets, stitching, labels and denim quality. 

Then there is this sweet NWT PRL Quilted Shooting Jacket....it hit the rack exactly when I walked by....didn't stand a chance.
