The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Chuch's Custom Grade ox-blood loafers. (anyone say oxblood anymore?) I think these are shells.
Size is... 6.5 F. I think I'll have to open the auction up to Japan.

Guess I have to move to Japan now & not sure they are shell. Need a better picture. Shouldnt have any micro-creases inside the larger creases.

Alas, there are microcreases. It was late when I bought them and early when I took the pics. Still, they're in great condition.

Thanks for the education guys!

Thanks guys.
I know I know. I started searching too late. 65 pairs in stock, and only one fits.

I was kidding. WTF do I know from shell?

BTW...pics of the links or GTFO.

I don't know why there'd be anything wrong with shell at a wedding, even at your own with a tux (if they were black captoe).

More importantly

Alas, just realized this is a dry reception. Why didn't I bring a flask of bourbon?

Ech. Cash bars and dry weddings mean no gift from me. Luckily the ladyfriend doesn't see things the same way.

So anyway, left all of that because I managed to pair up orphans of this variety...


Details tomorrow... A 50R would be approximately a 40R right?

50*2 * 0.3937 = 39.37"
So 39R to 40R

Subtracting ten gets more inaccurate the further you get away from 50R/40R.

60*2 * 0.3937 = 47.24"

60R - 10 gives you 50R, not the actual 47R, so you end up almost 3" off, but it works well enough around the more common sizes.

I forgot those even existed. You should have brought a flask just in case. That's why suit's have breast pockets, right? I mean, they aren't used for storing wallets, keys, papers....

We left our wedding reception between 5:00-6:00am. Our alcohol budget surpasses food. No joke.

The invitation said cocktails. Apparently that can be interpreted differently.

My buddy evidently married a preacher's daughter. Champaign toast is actually flat sparkling cider. Lol. Oh well we are going to the tavern tonight for my sister in laws birthday anyway.

Pure

Fugg it.

Bahh, why did you delete what was there? I'm sure that would have set some pants on fire. Either way, I got what you were saying.
