The nicest I have seen here were the Kiton/Brioni dress shirts I randomly found....my only instances of items better than HF (save 1 Canali suit) in about 200 thrift store visits. This was sold in Cleveland but found in another city......big city though, so I'm not totally shocked.

I've found a few Oxxford's here... Slightly better than HF

Lovely camel-coloured sport coat, pick stitching on lapels and on the outer seams.

  



Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's made by Chester Barrie (Cheshire Clothing Company), ie. really good quality.
Beautiful colour.

I'm going to agree on Plano. I lived there for 8 years and never would have considered anyone dressing fashionably. Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Flushing are also highly questionable too, especially since they seem to in the top 20. But perhaps that's just an indication of how poorly dressed Americans are?

I don't recognize any of his/her photos from this thread. Would be easy to spot with that grid in the background.

Ok thanks for the info, may be mixing the seller up with someone on here.

looks like a standard flipper to me, that grid must be from a shower somewhere...
Looks like one of those rubber coated wire racks used in shoe stores like Champs to me, but I can see where it could be interpreted as shower tile.

Something like this, but in white.
