Three Awesome Thrift Finds, Part 2 - May 25, 2015

[Styleforum Ari]

Last thread was such a success, I figured, why not again?

ChetB: Brunello Cucinelli Pants

I never check the pants. Today I checked the pants. 50% off and my size and n/a

How much is a pair of Brunello Cucinelli pants at retail these days? $400? $600? Well, ChetB doesn't need to know, because he found literally 5 pairs of incredibly, awesomely, perfectly Italian dress trousers. Seriously, who's that lucky?

double00: A2 Leather Jackets

Well, seems we can't quote the old thread, so here's a quick update with a cut and copy.
Here's a Willis and Geiger a2 from a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure whether it was horse, or goat, or cow, or what... @HansderHund suggested horse, but I thought "naw..."

I did a little more research on W&G, and this definitely isn't goat - it's way too stiff and it's actually heavier than I thought at first - so that leaves... HorsePop!

Turns out my a-2 game is strong these days:




GoatPop!


Also this. With all the fixins. and raglan!

Let's think about A2 leather jackets for a second: where do most people get them these days, and what do they pay for? Temple of Jawnz is gone - and those jackets retailed for, like $800 - or they look for an Aero or similar repro (good luck finding one of those for under $1,000). Or you can just wander to your local thrift store and find two authentic, repro-style goat and cow leather jackets. Incredible.

snackbandit: Mister Freedom... something

Sup!

This post is a little light on details, but uh, what else do you need to know: it's some goddamn MISTER FREEDOM. Holy goddamn ****, it's like Self Edge has come to life, vomited its best stock all over everyone, and then threw open its cashregisters and starting making it rain.
