    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

     I can confirm the bracelet is genuine, but from a few years back. Usually resale around $70-100 depending on size.

    What song best represents your life?

    My wife and I were watching that NBC show "this is us" and they played a song in one of the episodes that sounded vaguely familiar. Upon some research I found it was "Blues Run the Game" by Jackson C. Frank. I listened to it a couple times and began to realize that it is a pretty adequate...

    Tie Storage - Large Scale

    I'm sure this topic has come up before at some point. I need some ideas. My tie collection is now probably close to 200. Have several different racks and systems, but would like to consolidate. Any suggestions? And no, downsizing is not something I'm interested in. I wear ties nearly everyday...

    Suits - Does a Light Blue Shirt match a Black Suit?

    Hi StefanS96, A light blue shirt with black suit can be a fine look if you have a tie that can bring the two together. Try something dark for the tie. Don't limit your shirt and tie combos to just white and blue though. A black suit is neutral so you can do a wide variety of colors and patterns.

    Tie with shirt

    Personally I would go with a simple yellow, red, pink, or navy blue. I wouldn't go crazy with patterns unless very subtle. Keep it simple.

    Tie Swap Box #2 Idea

    I would be fine with that.

    Tie Swap Box #2 Idea

    Just a suggestion, but at this point why don't you allow whoever participated in the swap to pick a tie if they want (first come, first serve), pay for their own shipping (probably flat rate tyvec envelopes) and just donate the rest to a thrift shop?
