The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Brianpore]

Last one in the row suit/blazer rack....right next to the dressing rooms....someone put it back....lucky me!

No clue who Saint Andrews Spa was, but 100% Cashmere and lots of hand work, so couldnt pass it up. For Cashmere the thing looks damn near new. One pocket still sewn shut. Only thing I could really find on google was "The Purple Label (Ralph Lauren) tailored clothing collection is made (in Italy) by the Saint Andrews Spa. – one of the finest tailoring firms in the world". How good is this compared to Kiton, Brioni, Zegna, etc?

^ Thats a really good find. St.A is one of the best.

I'd go back and check for the pants, as that tag mentions a "trouser lining" as well.

@Chet Baker Sings: Holy Don Draper, Batman! That thing is awesome!

@ TheWGP -- funny, but I hope you don't actually plan to apply the more dubious methods that could land you in jail or end your career. (Guys are serious business about their stuff. Theft is a big problem, I imagine.).

P.S. if anyone wants some slinky blue linen PRL pants, 36, or some PRL houndstooth pants, 38, would be happy to grab them.

I'm not sure who it was that needed thick Oxxford hangers other than me... I'm always open to snagging those. And find me a Kiton hanger, dangit!

I have two ...

LOL, that's why I've never done the last one, nor will I reveal who told me they had. The others... well, the whole point is to trade MORE, and a lot depends on the specific store / what it is.

Yeah, but you're in Australia - I'd hate to see the shipping on one of those!

it's not a kiton, zegna, or a rlpl, but i found a new with tags calvin klein 3 button suit. it was almost a great fit (a little small) and i wanted to learn to alter clothes from my mom . so i bought it, took the waist out an inch and a half, and i hemmed and cuffed the pants (this part by hand) and it turned out great, for my first time. also got some nice ties also. -first time seeing gucci in a thrift store. (i hope it's real, it seems like very good quality with the GG lining)

You sure? It's tagged as jacket.

BTW, that St. Andrews cashmere is an amazing find. Nice!

A vintage, slubby silk tie that I wore yesterday with my seersucker sportcoat. Had someone ask me if it was gay pride day . Not that there is anything wrong with that.....
Also a no name hand-rolled PS with a motif of some dude in a shirt and tie and eyepatch. Anyone have a clue on it?

Hathaway shirts? They did a bunch of advertising with dudes with eyepatches:

Three button suits are not wrong per se, but ones that button that high definitely look a little dated. That said, it does fit you well. Also add a pocket square.
