Out for a bit on the weekend. My son (15yr-old) has become quite the addict - whenever we have some time he asks to go thrifting.

Canali - Cashmere blend overcoat
Paul Smith
John Varvatos - Linen mesh zip up hoodie?
Varvatos (Star) USA - Linen sweater
Lacoste - Cashmere V-Neck
Lindeberg - Merino V-Neck
Gant - Cotton V-Neck
Fluevog Chukkas
Florsheim Imperial - Kudu PTB

 

[Flashbang]

Those Kudu derbies are ?

I used to be able to beat the old ladies to the fresh racks if I take an early lunch but they're all out in force early now and giving me the "I drink your milkshake" look when I walk in. Wtf did Oprah or Ellen retire from their talk shows or something?

Still pulled a pop but not really thrift price.

Nice find on the Diptyque. I always check the candles just in case.

Only Fred Perry but really heavy down arctic expedition fishtail Parka and only £25

Plus this Polo which was an eThrift

The fluting on the crown should be way finer and the font for the date is wrong, unfortunately.

LOL Truer words have never been spoken. Then they give you the death stare when you are browsing anywhere close to their vicinity. I am not new to thrifting at all but I've come out empty handed even more so than usual. I respect the hustle of those in here who are selling but I am just looking for things for myself and have struck out the last 8-10 times.

You're very welcome!

Full disclosure: I'm just googling "real vs fake" guides and have never thrifted a decent watch unlike many others around here.

From what I can tell, the Breitling logo on the face should be more raised and the engraving on the back shouldn't be so shallow.

 

[jrod721]

@Abovenolaw the case back engravings and logo should be recessed/in relief. Same with “Breitling” on the clasp. Also missing serial no. on case back.

My Colt GMT for reference

Dead giveaways in the watches is the engraving and lettering.
