The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Most ebay sellers don't know much about the items that they are selling. Since this was misrepresentation (he didn't sell you a PAIR of shoes) then I would be surprised if he won't pay return shipping.
As for the no returns, that does not relieve the seller of the responsibility to accurately represent the items.

Yeah, I don't figure it was intentional. He doesn't typically sell shoes. these were probably his and he never knew the difference. I'm actually hoping I get super lucky and he has the other mismatched pair in his closet.

I know I sold 3 or 4 pairs of shell cordovan at dirt cheap prices when I first got started, not even knowing what they were. I wouldn't be surprised if someone here has a pair. lol

^^ Pretty sure that tie is the real deal. Pretty recent too (2005-2007 I think Spoo said). Found one like it last week, but you've hit gold with all those Medusa heads. Mine is pretty much worthless with a basic decorative fern type print so it's ended up in the tie collection.

TONS of other stuff.  Don't have time to post.

and you were just telling me the other day how'd you hadn't found any huntsman yet... BEEN HAD HUNTSMAN

 

[Samuel Smith]

UHHH YEA. I opened the mail box today to find a tiny box from the Cap'n .. Big thanks dude!!!

but seriously guys .... Cap'n =

Cap'n I owe you!

What were the listed at in the auction shell or calf? Any pictures in the auction or easier, what was the item number? Sounds like you should have no problem with a SNAD if he decides to stick to his "no return policy" unless he said "one shell and one calf" and you just totally missed that in the auction description.

Also BIG THANKS!!!! Got the cufflinks today!!!

I picked these up because of the newness/condition of them, but maybe I shouldn't have?

Who makes shoes in Italy for Nordstrom?






This looks a little sketch, yes? It's like someone just spraypainted on the logo.

Can someone teach me how to do the Citizen Kane clap? Huntsman pops its head into this thread every few thousand posts. But every time, I'm all
Edit: DOH! This time with the CORRECT quote.

That's RTW Huntsman though, made by Chester Barrie. Still a good find.

UncleCozy! My very first SF thrifting pal who shows up every once in a while!



GMMcL, just find the image somewhere on your google machine, such as http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/orson-welles-clapping.gif, copy image URL and load it into the picture-thingy after clicking the URL tab.

Totally bummed right now. I bought a pair of Alden for Brooks Bros, Tassel loafers. Which I believed to be black shell cordovan. They arrived today...one is shell cordovan and the other is calfskin. They are the same style, but the difference is obvious. Seller does not accept returns....we shall see what he does about it.

If he doesn't give you a refund, eBay will likely help on this one, unless he disclosed the shoes were not a pair. And one shell, one calf is, most definitely, two orphans as opposed to a pair.

PS, dot damn you, thrift store tie haul! Made my compulsory stop this afternoon, found no ties, but did turn up a:

Burberry dress shirt w/ HUGE MOTHERFUCKING BUTTONS. 17 L. Available, or will be stripped for parts.

Awesome PRL long sleeve summer shirts, L and XL. I've also got a few new ones I bought, and never wore, and would love to trade them for a medium or larger small.

Thrift fit pic.  So you know how some Native American tribes have a "rain dance", well this is my attempt at a "Spring dance" to appease the Spring gods and help get rid of some of this **** weather. 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Jacket: Silverstone - Loro Piana fabric (some Canadian brand I've never heard of but like the fit.  And it's LP fabric, so it's got to be decent stuff)
Shirt: Charles Tyrwhitt.  Hard to see, but it's a light blue POW with a faint yellow large overcheck.
Pants: PRL.  My coworker described these as "creamsickle" color, which is probably the most accurate description possible. (Might bring these out a bit to get more of a break. Not sure yet)
Shoes: Allen Edmonds "Orleans" white suede bucks (first wear 

)

Everything thrifted, but the shoes which I picked up pretty cheap on ebay.  

 

Fit of pants looks fine as is, I perfer the little to no break look. I'd shorten the sleeves by 1/4" and inch though.
