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

[Van Veen]

God damn I hate posting after Spoo. Hit a new store today. It was raining trad. This is about half of what I had in my cart. Put a bunch back due to price (does the Goodwill warehouse staff just roll dice when pricing?), condition, or obvious orphan.

Not sure if this is what ya'll call "fodder." I've got enough true vintage to get the Etsy store going now, though.

Camel sportcoat fits me perfectly and will replace my beloved polyester one. Love the football buttons and patch pockets.

Also: I passed on Mani by Armani (SUPER 80s/90s styling... SUPER low gorge and buttoning point... almost a woman's blazer), Canali Proposta (diffusion line?), YSL white label Made in Canada. I also passed on an Armani Collezioni blazer yesterday that was cotton/synthetic blend. Are these good passes? This stuff is outside my wheelhouse right now.

Older Corneliani I think.

I found a savile row suit jacket made for Bernie Madoff but thats more like infamous than famous...

In the same vein, I found a sport coat tailored for disgraced former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy.

I found 2 Vince Mcmahon Zegna blazers. Not sure if that counts. I think Vince just got arrested too

Is this the complete list of cool stuff from A-list famous dudes we've seen here?

Calvin Klein - Caraceni suit

Will Smith - Tom Ford suits

Eric Clapton - Savile Row suits

Jason Statham - Cucinelli jacket

Didn't somebody find a navy tuxedo owned by John Williams?

I don't know if Senator Jay Rockefeller counts. OR Charles Koch. Both of them have more money than those on this list. But, I am sure are not as famous to the average Joe on the street.

What about @snackbandit finding a Tom Ford jacket owned by Randy Jackson?

I saw his story on an episode of American Greed

AND @va230815 found a bunch of Dr. Phil Anto shirts.

There is an old story about Kirstie Alley and John Travolta donating a bunch to thrift stores in Wichita. Kirstie Alley owns a few homes here and also has a Scientology Center. Wichita is also the air capital of the world and John Travolta has brought his planes here for service/repair and met up with Kirstie Alley when she was here.

Probably one of those urban legends. I know I have not found anything from them.

After a much needed holiday vacation I finally got around to opening @SpooPoker 's secret santa package!
I was absolutely stoked to find a plethora of practically all NWT goodies awaiting me.

It was a pleasure participating in this year's exchange, and thanks again to @HansderHund for organizing it (and the @capnwes assist) and I definitely can't wait for the next.

[jdrizzy]

than those on this list.  But, I am sure are not as famous to the average Joe on the street. 

If I found Kock's piss-stained Zanellas, I'd post Pics all over the Internet.

 

[eazye]



this reminds me... if anyone has one of these N-3B's laying around in a S, 36, or a 38. I'll buy. Already posted this in the Unofficial buy/sell/trade thread but no bites so hoping this works better. 

Just passed on one yesterday in a shiny light blue. I can go back and check if it's still there in the next day or two if you'd like.

 

[barrelntrigger]

Sure, why not for 6 bucks. Wait, it comes with the bag? My, you are too kind, thrift shop!

Super recent and oh, pop!
