The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 4093

^^^ Holy cow, that horse blanket coat is incredible! Alas, it's a size or two too small for me.

Quoting myself in order to update the post with the proper size info

Don't beat yourself up, man. That place is odd, they only put out new stuff literally twice a year. The last release was in October, and the good stuff has all been picked weeks ago. There was a $120 Zegna I had my eye on for the 50% sale, but it didn't last even at that price.

Unique has also been crappy lately. Used to be a reliable spot but either they're sending the good stuff to other cities or some other folks are haunting it and picking it clean all the time. I suspect the former - they just don't have the same volume of stuff they used to, even of crappy stuff.


A few recent items for me:

Corneliani for PRL I mentioned yesterday (42L)




BBGF hopsack blazer (44L)




Southwick tweed (42ish)




Vintage 1950s tweed (46ish)

I get the concern, Ray, but was this really the most mature way to handle the situation? Perhaps a PM asking him nicely?

Anyway, some belated brags and/or better pics of past brags. Mostly the highlights, but even that's a pretty substantial number of pics. So be warned! Click on the spoiler ONLY if you have a robust internet connection! Still figuring out my new camera, so the whitebalance sucks in a few of these. But it's still better than the old point and shoot.

MOST OF THIS STUFF IS SPOKEN FOR OR MINE. PLUS, I'M BURIED AT WORK AND NOT ABLE TO RESPOND TO PMs. IF YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING, FEEL FREE TO PM, BUT IT MAY TAKE ME A WHILE TO RESPOND.

Sorrry for the double post, I forgot my favorite piece: Samuelsohn for Paul Stuart, 100% cashmere. Fits me like a glove right off the rack.

holy shit dude.

Trafalgar braces Ive been getting about $185 a pair for lately.
Huntsman can you please post in my vintage thread?
A&S Im up to about $350 on one.

That is a hell of a score you had.

 

A bit late to the party on this but that's awesome. I went back to school recently after a few years working a job I disliked and life has been 1000x better ever since. Best of luck in the program.

 

 

Gotta say, I run into Evisu like half the times I go thrifting. Didn't think the eBay ROI was very good on it, and would never wear it, so I never pick it up.

 

 

Your plan sounds a lot better than his plan.

 

 

Huge score, that's great! So much awesomeness with members lately. Way better than when everyone was losing their jobs a couple months ago.

 

 

It is awesome, but all you Americans who are jealous just remember: they have to pay a tax for their TVs and radios. So who really has it good?

 

 

Nobody has said this yet so allow me: that is amazing. Wicked find.

 

Also great haul GMMcL!

Fucking....awesome.

WUT?
($1 each)
Too slow.

The A&S cashmere I found a few weeks back is up on Ebay, starting at $199. Almost a dozen watchers. Rarely get that many at that starting price.

Just to be clear: That's the highlights from the last SEVERAL WEEKS. Not just one score.

Passed a few days ago on an awesome Zegna taglia exclusivo solid charcoal because it was a MF orphan. And several awesome squares today because they were machine sewn. WTF with that?
Assume you were quoting the song that shall not be named, so FTFY

Wow - that is a beauty!! Nice score!!

You don't say...

 

I have somewhere around 50 of those in inventory... didn't figure they were worth mentioning 

I leave all of it except the selvedge, that I proxy to one of my friends. Some of the designes are worse than Ed Hardy.

This is awesome! Love it!



Nice!

Damn, I'd be all over this if it were 16.5 - 17.





Free shipping if you win.

I'll get those measurements for you tomorrow!

+1 Lovely jacket.  The cut seems somewhat simple, but elegant.

 

 

UNAVAILABLE

 

After that GW incident when some lady snatched my heavy winter gloves, I headed to Marshall's where I picked up these nice Dents for $15 (normally don't quote prices, but seems more appropriate for discount stores, yes?).

Faconnable linen shirt for me

Two tartan Pendleton blazers I gave my sister for her birthday.

 

I also picked up some more things for myself:  a Pearl Izumi Polartec half-zip mid-layer I am going to use for running, a striped RL Sport shirt, and some nice brown captoe semi-brogues made in Italy by Cable & Co.

 

 

AVAILABLE
