The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[VLSI]



Wait, reall? I think I just threw out a bunch of my old Woolrich crap from the early 1990's. Dangit!

Why would you throw it out? For as much as everyone here thrifts, you could at least give something back to Goodwill.

I sold a vintage Woolrich like this one for $70 on the 'bay last fall

Plus, if your nice and get to know the people they might let you "trade" in your old stuff for store credit or something else that is basically the same....

You gotta appease the thrift gods.

Speaking of appeasing the gods, anyone see Cabin in the Woods? Saw it last night, awesome movie.

Hey man, don't want to be the bearer of bad news but from the picture that Lacoste polo looks fake (more pictures would help). Also those are seven7 jeans not seven 7 for all mankind. Two completely different brands. Sorry man! Keep up the good thrift.

Here's more pics of the Lacoste... Didn't even think about fakes

Wanted to but the wife hates horror flicks. Doh! Gotta wait till it comes out on DVD.

I think only fakes have the Lacoste inside the Alligator.
Buttons should be MOP woth color flecks on the backs.
Should be two tags in the collar.

Most likely fake.

It looks a little suspicious to me, however, it could be real because the label appears to be extremely old. I have seen this label in shirts from the 1960's to 70's. Interesting find.

It's more less a commentary on scary movies rather than a scary movie itself. Definitely has some scary moments, though.

Not sure about the back of the buttons, they're just white on the back... Here's the front



Also, it doesn't have the longer back, it's just flat all the way around

In retrospect, I was pretty disappointed. Even ignoring how networks like FX and HBO have presented a serious challenge to the movie industry of late, I just found it pretty sub-par for a Whedon outing. The 'insights' were nothing special, and entirely gleaned from film criticism that was stillborn in the 90's. It felt like a literal enactment of bad student essay. And the promise of a twist, with no actual twist! I just wish he'd take on fewer projects, and nourish them with the amount of care he gave to Buffy back in the day.

I put Amy Acker in the plus column, tho.

Again, interesting. I now am swayed towards authentic, just extremely old authentic. I could definitely be wrong.

@Horse....those Redwings are awesome!
