The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 4153

eddievddr10 can now answer the age-old question for us: do clothes bruise when they fall off the back of a truck. I've bookmarked his eBay page for bidding.

Nothing to brag about, but I was down in Florida visiting my grandparents last week. The Marshalls near the Nordstrom rack at 20669 Biscayne has a NWT Brioni tux--very modern and slim--marked down from $6,000+ to $499. It's a 40L, and so too slim in the shoulders for me.

They also have a PRL made-in-Italy tweed suit--beige herringbone--with flat-front pants in a 40R. Also $499, and also too slim for me. But I've never seen anything like it, and someone should snatch it up.

In the end, I just hung them from every vertical surface on my body. The checkout dude -- who's gotten to know my name and clearly thinks it's hilarious how much I shop there -- joked that I should have just bought the whole bin. Hilarious, dude. Hilarious.

Anyway, all are AVAILABLE

That tie haul was insane. Congrats! And I would have not risked leaving the bin either.

Not a bad lunch excursion. 

10 Vintage Brooks Brothers suits, all staples (Navy - solid and pin, Gray - solid and pin) in a mix of 2pc and 3pc. Left 2 behind for moth damage.

MTM H Freeman & Son Suit

3 Piece Cord Suit

Vintage Woolrich Shacket

Random Suede Patch Tweed SC

PRL Suede Harrington Jacket

Who knows when I will have pics on this...I still am trying to catch up from last Friday.

Nice camera equipment.  I actually picked up a pristine Canon A1 with 50mm 1.8 attached last week for $25.

That lens probably isn't worth a great deal to flip but should be nice to use and for $4 why not :) 

Always be on the look out for used lenses, the money is on the fast ones if that Sigma was a 2.8 it would be worth a lot more. 

50mm in the 1.2 range are $$$ as well

With a growing M4/3 camera market a lot of people buy older fast glass and put on their digital cameras.

And two perfectly operating Canonet 28's:

Okay, so this was from my one store yesterday. Definitely quality over quantity, but I'm pretty happy with it.  All about 21.5 p2p w/ 23 sleeves () and (other than the Belvest) unvented.

Brioni #1 (Available)

Brioni #2 (Available)

Kiton #1 (N/A)

Kiton #2 (N/A)

Kiton #3 (Definitely my favorite - N/A)

That last Kiton makes my soul hurt.

Unfortunately, I need to sell the Kitons in order to finance an upcoming trip, but if anyone is really interested and wants to pay slightly less than Ebay prices, I would be happy to sell here. Sorry for such blatant spamming.

 

 

 

 

 Financing trips is always a good cause, of course! Where are you heading?
