The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Letric]

RIP Thomas Pink - one of the first brands I remember finding at a thrift store some 15 years ago and sparking my interest

Same. When I first started thrifting with my Dad, we were just getting nice ties/shirts/suits/etc for ourselves. I remember seeing 4 or 5 Thomas Pink shirts at a Goodwill for like $6 each and my Dad was all "Ohh those are expensive.. made in England." (this was back when they still made their shirts in UK)

I remember going home and looking Pink shirts up on ebay and seeing sold listings for the same shirts, used, for $35-50. I went back to that store and they were gone. That was the first spark that told me there was something to this "selling thrifted clothes" thing... Here I am 10 years later.

Before the snowstorm hit here on Saturday was able to snag a few things (hickey tie, lulu polo, melanzana crewneck, bb shell belt). First pop on shell, a belt but still a nice addition and in my size.

I was getting fed up at the last store due to some people with multiple carts taking up the entire aisles of the men’s section and I had to go to the bathroom (restrooms weren’t open). So was getting ready to walk to a nearby grocery store and saw a shiny belt with a distinct roll to it on my way out. Just a quick story to never discount looking everywhere in a store.

We've been locked down in Ontario for a bit, and the thrift store game is dead and buried. Not a lot going on out there, but if you work twice as hard as before, you can still find 1/10 the stuff. Being forced to learn about new segments of the market hasn't been a bad experience, though.

Found the good-enough match for the Sonneman-style lamp on the left. Will grab matching bulbs for it.

Need a bigger house for this. Wouldn't fit in the living room.

Someone out there collects cookware and will want this giant frying pan

Old Coleman in a rarer colour.

after 4 years of hoping to find a truly high end 36S suit at a thrift, i finally relented and bought a recent Canali 1934 Exclusive navy pinstripe Super 160 suit with working cuffs on poshmark. it fits like it's MTM (my potato pics suck, you'll just have to trust me). i did notice a minor flaw at the bottom fold of the vent. i tried to guilt the guy into throwing the some money back, he didn't bite. and i didn't push the issue, as I got him to lower the price from $219 to $119 and he sent it priority 2 day. Ya'll think I should ask for something back or just move on? I'll probably get it reweaved to be on the safe side.

and then, i found this 1960s Design Circle for John Collier Harris tweed. first tweed genuinely in my short ass size.

So I was able to buy a pair of vintage Cartier sunglasses for slightly above thrift cost but I noticed there was repair and welding done to the frame. I passed because of this and am wondering if I made a mistake? These were the vintage aviators from “A view to kill”.

Pretty slow lately... The GWs have been dry to the bone. Here's a few things from other venues.

These were free at a local church thrift, who were giving away winter clothing. I felt bad, and offered money, but they were not set up to actually accept donations. Pretty beat up, but hey, free boots.

Men's Lulu...

Women's Kuhl "Savina" jacket

Found this today at a Mom and Pop shop: women's...

And for good measure, found these today also. I paid up, but about 7% of retail...

Men's "Colorado" jacket, size large...

And men's "Jotunheimen" jacket, size large...

Facepalm. I didn’t realize that even completely broken and rusted vintage Cartier frames still go for at least $100 on the Bay. Hell the cases are selling for about $100...

Always a weird feeling when you start cracking into backlog. It's like finding it all over again.
