I heard that as soon as the lady hit him, csoukoulis jumped onto his back seat to shield the twelve Kiton suits he had thrifted that day for a dollar each.

Found a great portfolio today. I've had my eye out for one because I realized the massive nylon zippered one I've been using is a bit... lame?

It's a no-name, but the part I like most about it is the color.... Dark green pebble-grain.

Owch! Damn. That sucks, but I'm sure you found stuff to make the trip somewhat worthwhile, though. With my luck I'd have that happen and then not find anything but Jos. A Bank and Nautica. Anyway, good luck getting your ride repaired!

I could see this happening...

Didn't find much today. Found a new Corbin seat for a Harley to sell and then found a NWT Paul Stuart cashmere sweater. Tiny hole on the shoulder. Looks more like a defect. I could see this as the tag showed it had been marked down several times. Also found a pair of black A. Testoni lace-ups. Picked up some nice Patagonia button-downs to wear. I'm wearing one right now, actually. 88 and humid here so these shirts feel great. Probably considered blasphemy to some here on SF, but I just cannot see myself wearing anything but a S/S shirt, shorts and sandals on days like this.

My first real thrift outing today. Nothing like what you big timers pull in but still think it was alright start.

Charvet has couple little pulls that I might try and get fixed. Brioni is absolutely stunning.

There is a thin, gray, shiny, 100% polyester, dark plastic raincoat-looking night club shirt -- with French cuffs -- currently gleaming from the racks. The kicker: it's Just Cavalli brand, complete with those schmancy tags and one of those byzantine holographic jobs to assure you it's real.

Cop? Not to cop?

Man i thought something seemed a bit off with the tag when i was looking at it, but it was cheap so i snagged it. I can return it, so no biggie. I meant to ask opinions on it in the post.

There should be like an icon of a guy shaking his fist going, Daaaaamn yooou Soukoooooooooooouliiis!!!!! Otherwise, I don't suppose the Mirton or Graham shirts are small/medium, eh? (Great shirts all around, though. What gives? Is everyone in Frisco just blind?) @ Stewie: Thanks! ebay ap. Shoulda thought of that.

Mirto is a lrg (keeper) Graaham is an XL, and im still on the fence about it.

Oddly enough i NEVER find anything good at the lone thrift store here. Frisco is very casual.
