The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 639

Folex is generally used for spot cleaning of carpets. Been around for quite some time. Never thought of using it on clothes though.


D.

And I see you're just pocketing the pennies for a discount... Looks like those just need a good polish.

Nice. I love finding the non-mainstream fashion labels, mostly because I hardly ever find them. I see Brioni/Isaia/etc more often that some of that stuff. Most recently were some white Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto shirts I had happened across. In my 8 years of thrifting, this was the first I had ever seen of these labels in person.

Hi Everybody! Brand new, Just signed up. I wanted to share what I've found at various Goodwills.

1.) The Best Deals I've Ever Got! 2 Kiton Sportcoats. Both are 90% Cashmere and 10% Linen. One was Blue and the other was Green. The Blue one was $5 and the Green one was $10. Both had Working Button Holes. Got them at the same store!

2.) Dolcepunta 11 Fold Tie. Got this for only $1! Wasn't in Perfect Shape but was in Good Condition.

3.) Brioni Pleated Patchwork Tie. Got this for only $3. Was in Perfect Condition; Never been worn.

4.) Stefano Ricci Pleated Tie. Got this for only $2. Was in Perfect Condition; Never been worn.

5.) Sulka Sportcoat. 100% Cashmere. Got this for only $4.

Found alot more stuff from a whole bunch of thrift stores but those are my favorites!

NICE!Pics of the Kitons and Sulka please!

Here are the pictures of th Green Kiton Sportcoat, The Blue one looked just like this but a royal blue. I sadly dont have the Sulka Sportcoat anymore. It was just your basic Camel Colored Two Button Sportcoat....

Amazing finds! Especially those Kitons!

Went thrifting for my halloween costume. Found two Oxxford sports coats, one in pure cashmere, the other silk cashmere blend in 40R for 17 each. Didn't pick them up, needed money for the costume! So RAGEEEEE/

Busy for two weeks and I am jealous of you guys. Will come back with a vengeance!!!!

Finally had a decent day.

2 Zegna dress shirts (one made in Spain, one Turkey)
Robert Talbott 'Trim' white button down in airy royal oxford fabric
J Crew casual 'Vintage' cords

And a few things I'll be passing along:
Canali sportshirt (L)
2 Brooks Brothers luxury dress shirts (made in USA of Italian fabric)
Willis & Geiger cotton A-2 jacket (L)

Having recently changed my sartorial habits, I've not done much in the way of thrifting for better clothing, so my only score to date was a couple of years ago at the Vanners mill shop, where I picked up three Duchamp ties for about $30. I was there last year, but their selection was a bit dry...will be going again this December, so hopefully there will be more. Will also pick up some cufflinks at great prices now that I own shirts with french cuffs...

Wow! I like those a lot - nice score! I'm a big fan of Duchamp.

Guys, I just realized that once Halloween is over, thrift stores should settle back
in to giving up her treasures. It's been busy at the stores, have had to work
extra hard. Found a decent Burberry suit today, on Ebay.

Tell me about it. Usually Halloween is great because I can score lots of vintage military uniforms (another collecting hobby I have) which they put out in the costumes section. This year hasn't been as good as in past years and the stores are so crowded. Ugh.
