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

[TheNeedMachine]

Last weekend, had time to pop into one Goodwill before a family birthday thing at Dave & Buster's (hate that place). Pickups from last weekend:

Pierre Deux pewter cow creamer with base plate (already sold):






















Got these on eBay a couple weeks ago for reasonably cheap - seller said "worn once", I was like "yeah, I've heard that before." They arrived and are pristine - pleasantly surprised:









And from today:














50 cent ties LOL:

[TheNeedMachine]

Pimpin' ain't easy, bit it'll be a lot less difficult now that you have the right jacket.

Got to get Sirius radio. 1St Wave and 80's stations are awesone! Reminds me me if growing up in the 80's listening to WLIR on Long Island.

Ugh, tell me about it! I was about to say the same thing -- I fell in love with the First Wave station when I had to rent a car this summer; apparently my car was bought just before they began sticking that greatness into every radio.

(You're a long way from Long Island, btw. Your 80s must have been awesome )

@Fueco or others - Found these in two in different stores. The first is a reversible but I cannot find tags anywhere, not tucked in, hidden, or even remnants where they might have been cut out? Am I missing the secret spot or is this one destined for the re-donate pile?



The only other suspect item is how these are sewn. Either a bad repair job, or ?






Next up, Similar to the current Patagonia Downtown Women's Jacket, but the sleeves look a bit different. Legit?



Tons o' Tags (which is poly, which is down?)













Thanks all!

Both of those should be wins...

On the cuff damage... The trim on Snap-T's is a lycra material. If the jackets are dried too hot, that is the first part to go bad. Those look like they may have gotten heated up something fierce... They're supposed to dry on the lowest setting (or drip dried on a line, of course). Normal wear on them is just varying levels of pilling.

I assume you checked the inside of the pocket on the first one? If your mannequin form is similarly sized to mine, that's a medium. If you give me to the p2p measurement, I can tell you what size... What I don't know is the year it is from. Definitely a Snap-T, though I cannot recall when the reversible ones were out.

The second jacket is a women's Downtown Down jacket from Fall 2014. Google the style # (STY#####FA14) minus the FA14 part, which tells you it is from Fall 2014. That should be worth a few bucks to someone...

I know those are Hugo Boss Models, but you mean it actually has the movie on the tag?

That's the name of the model of the jacket. Wasn't used in a scorcese movie, most likely. Hugo Boss does this with their jackets (eg: another jacket model is called the Pasolini, named after Pier Pasolini).

Thanks a million! I noticed another one with Poseidon on it so i was wondering lol. BTW i found my first Kiton next to it. Orphan, cashmere, perfect except for small hole on back. It has a nice windowpane pattern so im gonna use it as a SC. Thanks again
