The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[SpooPoker]

those are legit 1s.

 

[Chotii]

Found a pair of Dr. Martens men's boots, brown, basically new, size 13 for hubby. $18! He's never tried brown. He's been more of a 'black goes with everything' kind of guy.

 

[Mr G from SD]

I can tell those are 85's by the cracking on the black part at the ankle. Had a pair about 10 years ago and they were the same. I paid 100 for them back then and that was a damn good deal. I believe they've skyrocketed a bit since then...

So Funny...Slow all day. Everyone must be getting back from thrifting all day at 50 off Saturday!! I can see the onslaught of uploads!!

You guys are probably used to this and are saying ....No **** Dumbass!! Joined this forum awhile ago but just discovered how much fun it is!!!

 

[Bahljs]

Are those '85 1's or a retro? They haven't retroed those in quite sometime they have retro'd these very recently and when they have they do some ugly color scheme, and garbage quality.

Fixed this for you

Quick non-jompsoey story

So I got hospitalized last night. Extremely high blood pressure, irregular heart beat, arrhythmia etc... My father passed (when I was 15), as did his, of heart disease, so in my family, it's not **** around time if ****'s going on. There from like 10-345 or something, all tests done, I'm fine, good to go, shot me up with some meds and that's that. I get home and realize that I'm the dumbest ****** ever. I realized earlier that day @silverwarebandit posted a picture of a Loro Piana leather jacket. Probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Now, I was diagnosed by a "doctor" with a bunch of factors that aren't helping, i.e. sleep schedule that makes @SpooPoker look lazy, work like a motherfucker, poor diet etc.. so I was told to get regular and take better care and stuff.... When really I just need to not see Loro Piana Deer Leather Jackets that were made of the 7th ******* day of creation...no, he was not ******* resting.... So what do I do? I ******* got up at 9 after hospitalization and getting home at like 4ish this morning, and I hit some spots because that ******* Loro Piana Leather isn't going to find itself....I didn't find it....Here's what I did find though.

(note: none of that was bullshit, i mean obviously the onset by the LP but that other stuff was dead serious, just kinda making light of somethin kinda serious)



Kolte Couture, Michelson of London 100% Wool, Zegna, Tiffany & Co, Bedford Silk of England (love English silk, this may stay with me), Dunhill, Brooks Makers, NWT's Brooks, Nicky for Bergodorf, RLPL, Zegna, Sills by (I believe) Holiday and Brown, NWT's Brooks




Prada velvet heels with the sickest woven metal heels I've seen, had to cop (supersize for detail, they're sick)


Brioni x2

T&A Bespoke Shirt in a weird beige gray, and a Granfranco Gerre NWT's


RRL Pearl Snap Button Western x2, black military **** NWT's


Vtg Made in US Orvis Safari belted shacket


Dior Homme Wool Sweater, ribbed arms (Hedi Slimane's very last collection)



Jil Sander wimminz long cotton buttoned knit made in Italy

T by Alexander Wang wimminz cotton bomber


Brioni x2 and Incotex Inco Chino flat front navy cotton (New pants by Brioni, not as easy to spot now, sucks)


Brown ones 100% wool, navy flat front Super 150s


Not LP, nice though. Perforated leather Jacket by Zegna.


Something about nearly brand new Brooks blazers that are designed well that I just like...so I bought them.




Kinda broke my rule here....but *******. Smoked MOP, 2 button, fairly new condition...I ***** with it.



Can almost guess without goin further...




Lastly, kinda broke another rule. Almost never AC unless like new and Italy....well this one is like new and 7% cashmere suit, so *******.


No LP.

 

[Jompso]

Didn't the recent retroes have the exaggerated AF1 soles?

 

[Bahljs]

BUT THOSE ******* JORDANS ARE

holy **** man!!!!

man, you ruined it i was going to post a bunch of matrix meme's about reality lol
But yeah, and they fit me too.... Im fin to get them restored, i know a pro.

Are those original '85s? Don't know much about Nike

Did someone say Jordan?
Had these years back, all deadstock.
The shoes below are the LP, Brioni, Zilli, 1000% Cashmere of the sneaker game.
It was awesome to have all of them at once, to stare at them knowing they haven't been touched in many many years, but, I felt selfish and had to move them to someone that could really appreciate them.
They all went to one collector in Chicago.

Enjoy.


1994

















2001 Royal Blue











And the mother of them all, from 1985, with original everything. Peep the unmolested hang tag.

Sorry to hear about your heart. Nasty bad cholesterol runs in my mom's side of the family, and at 45, my doctor started threatening me with meds if my cholesterol level didn't start improving. Also was pre-diabetic.

I began walking 4 miles/10K steps a day. I have a treadmill for when I can't get outside. My cholesterol is excellent now and I'm not pre-diabetic anymore. I also lost some weight. So there might be something relatively easy you can do. If you have long-QT syndrome, though, get a pacemaker. Get one now.

Glad you are doing okay, dude. Like you said, that heart disease **** doesn't **** around, speaking as a descendant of a male line with bad tickers.

Love that Hedi Dior sweater. Love that Orvis safari. And I am sick for Brooks Brothers. It just fits me too well. And that one on the left is the new Italian line label, which fits me to a TEE in a 40R. I love the fabrics they use in this line, love the styling, love everything about it, and mostly it sells for super cheap on the bay. I haven't paid upwards of $40 for any of it, even some NWOT stuff.
