The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Does any quality brand actually have machine sewn edges?? When I flip though the womens section for scarfs/pocket squares thats all I look at. When I find a hand rolled one I inspect a little further.

You obviously knew enough to take a picture of it so look for hand rolled edges and go from there.

Brian/All,

Do you Gents usually browse the women's section for squares? Maybe that's why I haven't any squares

Heyo guys!

Hope your Christmas's (Or any Holiday you celebrated, Festivus included) went well!

I am in need of some help identifying a suit I thrifted for myself.

I know it's not anything special being made in Canada - but it fit really well and the fabric feels quite nice.

Below are a bunch of pics if someone could help me out with what this is!

The only real tag is "Sartoriale"











Thanks!

The rest of the stuff is automatically bad ass off the back! But these right heeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! GODDAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  U DA MAN!!!

I was shocked enough to see a pair of women's skinny selvedge jeans (the style and size my girlfriend wears). I walked around with the first pair for 20min before I thought to look for more. I couldn't believe there were so many.

That's exactly what I do. In the menswear section I usually only see bandanas or the odd ugly PS. Its in the women's section that I usually see PSs, or sometimes something that could double as a PS, like a smallish scarf.

Oh yeah, went to the mall for a watch, ended up buy 3 pair of LVC selvedge and a chambray shirt...Pass on a NWT Kiton 7 fold for $40...Yes or no?

BTW, I'm looking for my first real watch. My limit is $500. I've been looking at this Tissot Le Locle...What say ye, gents?

That is a very solid option for a watch in that price range. It will go with a ton of different situations, very versatile. I'm not up to speed on quality of Tissot, as I've not been in the market for a watch for a long time. But as far as aesthetics...it looks great.

just in my trad loser opinion I think if you are going to buy a first real watch you either go super baller and get a new super nice $$$ one or you go vintage and get a really nice one for a fraction of the price and ball a little less hard
also I got the package, the shetland is baller !!!!

Yes, that's a good strategy. However, I think women are ALWAYS on the lookout for scarves and such so they'll probably snatch up that amazing print Versace/Gucci fast. Dudes will let it sit there for days if they happen to put it in the men's section.

 

[hucklecat]

What is this style? Burberry Gingham, Check? Just happen to like the colors and the fit, but after a couple of wears I may put on auction.





I think it is authentic. Any thread on authenticating them, I couldn't find a good one

S_allen_p : insane clothes and an insane amount of cds. If the Swervedriver poster is any indication, we would have a lot of common musical tastes.

I also hit the after Christmas sales but mostly ended up stocking up on some staples like boxers, socks, etc. Did pick up some Clarks desert boots on sale, but was mostly disappointed with whats on offer at the shops. Perhaps SF has spoiled me....

listing my haul in a few, nothing compared to what LA thrifters find but for MN I would say the day was awesome!
