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

[freakersea]

I don’t usually look at the hoodies but I saw the logo and thought it had popped up on the thread before

 

[MMiUSA]

One stop tie haul- starting top row, left to right:

Paul Stuart, Hermes (x4), Georgio Armani, Tripler, Lanvin, Missoni, Talbott (usually skip RT, but bought these to be nice to this store who treats me quite well as you’ll see in my next post in a few days).

Middle row: Ricci (x9)

Bottom Row: Ferragamo (x6)

Burberry

PC is hit or miss for sure, but I liked this MiUSA coat enough at the price of a Taco Bell meal deal to grab.

Lands End Vintage MiUSA tweed. Don’t always grab these, but this one was clean.

Circle S might not be a SF favorite, but this one has a unique rainbow stripe, and was a MiUSA variety (and I typically have quick turnaround on these).

PRL houndstooth plaid

Orvis Made in England Vintage Duffel

Ooh that will look brill after a conditioning.

What's everyone's preferred basic "leather conditioner" ?

I use Autoglym since I use it for my leather seats

Happy with this for personal - Chrysalis make solid field coats, but even better when making them out of cashmere for Ed Meier…

Slightly annoyed I didn't jump on this one, I couldn't find anything about cashmere chrysalis online at all so didn't bother. Looks great!

Just placed a totally random $30 bet on this LV bag while waiting to check out. I know zero about LV, but the leather straps tonality caught my eye and a 30 second scan in hand said if it's fake, someone at least made a very sincere & serious effort based on the high build quality, fwiw.

What do y'all think, swap meet Louis or is there a chance ....Pop, or Flop?

 

[impuntura]

As a bonus I found the original papers and the original receipt inside the bag ,anyone wanna play a guessing game what year this is from.

Eyewear finds continue. 2.99 a pop

These grant stones feel nice and are hardly worn.

Love this older one. Very wheaty impression overall but sages and blues and yellows mixed in.

100% cash. It’s so fine. 46L I think.

First Craigslist finds - $50 a piece. Both xl which is too big for me.

Really like the contrast webbing on this one almost brand new. Detachable sleeves. A dearth of pockets.

Are these too big/much, or can these be a thing?

That Gucci is too cool. 1953

 

[Letric]

I was going to say 83-93 for the Gucci green bag. Little stuff like the color, the Logo style, the "R" encircled, the code stamping inside. Probably pre-2000's but seems more modern than 70s.

The suspect LV bag - There's always so much conflicting info that I pick up that I have no clue. I thought the monogram "LV" were never supposed to be cut off by borders, trim, etc. But then the leather quality and color look correct.. Stitching looks good. I probably would've taken a gamble at $30 too cause most of the LV's I see are much more blatantly cheap looking.

Yeah, i am clueless but the quality of the materials and assembly is outstanding. Check out the "pattern matching" and logo symmetry around the borders and central strap. Also the tight seam of the strap, at the rivet (last pic). And the piping..it's all tightly done with zero distortions.

Great condition too, I really like what I am seeing so obviously I want to Believe....but no basis for comparison for authenticity.

fingers crossed others will know more.
