The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 478

I'm in an awful slump. I think it's all at mainy's house.

Those Wallabees that won't leave are giving you bad juju.

^Yeah, don't know why I can't move those, although I do have a nibble. Maybe I should donate them back.

If they were 9's I would have bought them a while ago. Look great for running quick errands and the such.

A nice fully welted vintage Longwing. Mastercraft Shoes, never heard of them, but a fully cushioned, leather lined "AeroVent" insole. $12

Much less costly than these:

Seems to be about the same color originally, now matured to a nice patina.

Still in a slump, but I actually found something to buy today to make the trip worthwhile. Not my size, but I've heard people talk good about Hanover shoes here and being in the condition they were in, I just had to grab them. I'm no shoe expert, but I'm pretty sure these are not shell due to the tiny creases in the leather. Still, looks like they were only worn once or twice. Sz 9 1/2 C

Alan, I wish it was all at my house This is the time of year that thrifting gets dreadfully slow, and borderline not worth the time.

I like that LP shirt. If it's a M-L, I'd gladly take it off your hands if you're looking to sell.

I have several pairs of Hanover LB Sheppards - best of their lines - and they're just a hair under Florsheim imperials in terms of overall quality and fit (for me). On the other hand, the flat, waxed laces are always a nice - much better than round, waxed in my experience .

XL unfortunately. Off it will go to ebay to fund some more gas money... LP makes some awesome casual shirts, just way, way too $$$

Mainy, damn nice finds. Hopefully I have some gook luck tomorrow.

This is a poorly shot teaser of what you'll soon be seeing.

That pair still looks like they have a ton of wear left on the soles. Just put some lexol on them the moisturize the skins and then polish them up. They will look great.[/quote]

I agree the soles are in great shape. It's amazing what some condtioner and polish will do. If you don't have some, I highly recommend the AE condtioner/cleaner.

I finally decided to get off my lazy bum and go thrifting and it kinda rewarded me.

Picked up a Gieves and Hawkes shirt, has a smudge, but for 4 dollars it seemed worth it to try and get it out.

Also picked up a Burberry bag and shirt as well and a Tumi bag.

All for $20.

Also so an Oxxford suit, excellent condition, but I didn't really want it. It was $30, if anyone wants it I could go pick it up tomorrow.

Size/Color?
