The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

No (I assume you mean RL, not "double RL". If the latter, sometimes yes), No, No (usually).

Stuff I passed up at lunch, im curious about. RRL dress shirt? Flippable? Also, I think i've seen posts about Tom James, and Orvis, I pass this stuff all the time but have never snagged any, does it have value in general, or just to certain people?

No i meant RRL, the typically western stuff. This is a basic blue dress shirt, they want $8, think it was XL.

Does anyone have the link to the thread with the stripped down shoes I think with acetone?? then changed up the color? I thought it was someone who posts in this thread often! Thanks in advance.

I believe it was capnwes...

RRL stuff does pretty well. It looks like the shirts are selling in the $20-40 range for dress shirts.

RRL made dress shirts?

RRL anything is pretty much worth a pick up. I've done well on some pants.

I picked up a nice BB Makers tie for $2 and a Hickey Freeman suit for $12.75. Will post pics and sizing later for the suit because I plan to sell it.

Recent stuff that I thought I'd make available to regulars here. Normal caveats apply, don't PM me if you plan on trying to re-sell/make a profit on any of this.

Vintage Carroll and Co jacket. Some wear on the inside lining but beautiful on the outside. No labeled maker/evidence of who made it. Awesome jacket: double vented, fairly soft shoulders, beautiful glenplaid. Measures out to a 36/38S [think 29 BOC, 19.75 P2P)

Zanella jacket. Again, ******* beautiful pattern. Not sure who the maker is [tried to ID the tag with little luck...it is before the current Caruso-era...Some folks in the Heel/Label thread tentatively ID'ed this label type as older Isaia or Lubiam, but can't confirm]. 35% wool, 35% silk, 30 linen. Front pockets still basted shut, no signs of wear. Double vented, pretty soft shoulders. Tagged 44R, more like a 44L.

Suuuuuper vintage Harris Tweed. 4 (!!!) patch pockets, unvented. This is, I think, a piece of outerwear. Heaviest HT I've ever handled. Tagged 39L, I think that would be true to size if worn as outerwear. Bottom button is missing, but it is just a standard leather button so easy fix.

Recent (2007/2008) Tom James Executive collection suit. Holland and Sherry fabric. Very moden looking lapels. Double vented, single pleated trousers. Pretty soft shoulders. Measures to 44R. Beautiful glenplaid; to my eye, navy with red, blue, and yellow stripes.

Also, any thoughts on the new photo setup?

Wow. Nice finds - I'd be all over that first jacket and the Zanella if they were my size! I don't always dig outdoor photos, but you've managed to nail the lighting.

The natural light makes the fabric colors look great!

+1. So does the Zanella. Same problem. PLUS: I've cut myself off from new acquisitions. (MUST be good....)

Sweet dude, that's an easy 15 bucks per...you might even come out ahead after two hours of your time and endless questions answered.

BB bows are always easy flips, and you don't have to resort to the bay. I'll offer $40 for all three CONUS and save him the time of taking pictures.
