Spoo's Thrift Trip Day 1

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Areas covered : NY Items purchased : 35 Stores hit : 5 Notables : - RL 100% cashmere - Turnbull & Asser by MG - 4x Polo Corneliani - 2x Zegna 15 mil 15 - Matched a Zegna orphan to its pants in 2 stores 40 miles away - Made in England POW coat to make you lose your mind - Loden cape 4 days, 4 states to go... That is badass, but not for me, I need deconstructed shoulders, not linebacker ones

Pics. Or. It. Didn't. Happen. Nobody is immune (says the guy who posts brags without pics way too freaking often) Oh, and dibs on 42R

nobody take this personally but there has been a lot of total garbage posted in this thread recently. PROCEED

no ****! People...we come in here to brag about nice high end **** we find, NOT ragged out/unwearable/way out of style high end ****, or polyester ties, or 29.99 msrp donald trump shirts. Have to sift through 10 posts of garbage to see anything worth a **** lol

Hopefully this will get us back on track: Pristine, solid gray DB/peak lapel overcoat Made in England for Barney's. Fits snug on me, so I'd guess a 40R. Available. Cross posting to label thread for ID, if possible. I'd also be bragging about the badass new camera I got for Christmas, except that I left the battery at my MIL's, and can't take pictures.

Oh of course. Was going to do the whole northeast tour wrap-up later on in the week. Still have states to hit, nahmean?

I love little surprises you didnt notice in the store. Anyone see what made me on this?

Hey guys, so as you guys already know, today was a good day for me.

lol, saw this on my travels. I think it was an orphan, or so it said on the tag.

 

[rayxlui]

DM, is that Battistoni from where I think it is..

Bijan is by D'Avenza.

Is Lanvin worth picking up?

This pretty bold. Bright teal and linen.

Burberry Tie. Is this vintage?

Oxxford Sport Coat. Size 46L.

Brooks Brothers Sport Coat. I think this is Golden Fleece. It has really nice shell buttons. Too bad it is a 48R.

Hickey Freeman Boardroom. Size 43R

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Is this good Gant? Has suede elbow patches. Size 40R

Bad? I think this is the Alan Flusser for Stein Mart. Size 42R

Keeping:
Burberry DB jacket. An orphan, but it was too cheap to pass up and it fit me really well. Might come in handy for a costume.

Vintage London Fog Overcoat. This is brand new. The Pockets are still sewn shut.

100% Camel Hair Brooks Brothers Sport Coat.

 

[Evil Abed]

Wow, apparently there was a sale on clown shoes nationwide.

If it doesn't say "Golden Fleece" it is not Golden Fleece. If that jacket was made in the last few years it is Southwick MTM.

I'm nominating that Eric Glennie tie as find of the year next year. Those were good times.
I'm back from vacation tomorrow night--I found some pretty good stuff that should raise the spirit of the thread if no one posts anything better in the meantime.

Eric Glennie tie = find of the year, hands down.

Tell us a story Uncle Spoo

on this?

The fact that it's just my size?

Pre-dibs...

So what's the secret and the suit?

Not the Lanvin you want. The Burberry are both pre-1999 (old tag). Anything for Stein Mart is a no-go. Gant with the red box is the bad Gant. Nothing London Fog is brag-worthy, even new.

Nicely done! If it doesn't work out and it turns out the measurements were slightly off (in my favor), you know where to send it...

Just won this.... what am I missing or should I be as happy as I am right now?

No clue what the color is going to be like and really prob too long, BUT too good to pass up. I'd pay that at a thrift store just to flip in 5 milliseconds.

EBAY - Paul Stuart Orange/Pink/Cinnamon Silk/Linen/Wool Sportcoat- 36R

Oh yeah and it was 25% off all clothing, so less than $9 each. Both fit as well

(P.S. Bought a **** ton of stuff today, but as much of it actually fit me, I will try to be a little more curated this time around)
