The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

I'd hope you mean sans kiltie, right?

Nice VV Tie! 'twas I who found the same.

good stuff, you were asking who they were for, I'm assuming you found the name on the small end of the tie "Oak Hall Since 1859"

BB Shell 9.5 D

Almost exact same ones, top left BB Shell made in USA by.... Alden?
Cole Haan bit loafers, Bally and Cable & Co

Those Cable & Co shoes are absolutely amazing, wish they fit.

What am I looking at here?







The label seems fine, but the fabric is not what you usually associate with Hermes, and if you were faking, why would you get the hardest detail correct (the thread loop) and not use the typical fabric and matching color liner?
anyone have some insight?

2nd tie from the bottom is cool.

The rules change for Hermes non-printed ties.
This is consistent with the woven ones I have seen and bought from very reputable sources: H lining, thread loop and label.
But I'm not an expert.
