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

Turnbull and Asser jammies. Saw it the other day. Didnt buy.... Mistake?

I'd love a pair of those. I need to step up my pajama game; now that I have 2 little girls, I need to make sure I'm dressed appropriate in bed. I don't want to get caught off guard and damage anyone for life.

I'm not @SpooPoker but was just thinking about this a couple days back... I'm at ~150 in my personal collection/rotation, which likely sounds absurd. I'm at the point where I have to decide between getting rid of a Ricci, Kiton, Hermes, etc if I'm going to take one out of my collection.

I don't have a huge collection, but far more than I'd wear in a couple of years. I found the way to best limit myself is just use the one rack. It has 20 hooks or so; if I get a new tie, one has to come off to make space.

a good set of PJs are a lot cheaper than the years of therapy that sight will cause

Nordstrom Rack has their clear the rack promotion going on until the 31st - 25% off clearance. I was able to get some great deals last time around when someone posted, so thought I'd return the favor.

^^ was there first day and spotted this but was still at 30% retail. LOTS of edios there still trying to dump off down to like 15% now. First week in August will be all the leftovers from annual sale so I'm holding out.

Seconded. Picked these up yesterday @ 30% retail after the additional sale. Oliver Sweeney mainline. Any suggestions on lace color? I like the white on the shoes when I'm not wearing them but it feels a little too much contrast when I wear them. The pants are also from rack (Bonobos tailored chinos for $30).

Yes, this is the true sale. I picked up this Hugo Boss sport coat for 14% retail after their semiannual sale a month or two ago.


Been stalking a gorgeous red/white windowpane Canali Exclusive cashmere blend sport coat since then as well. Currently sitting at $450 ($1,950 retail) and can't bring myself to pull the trigger

Been gone for a week and finally getting caught up. Holy **** its been raining Kiton! After visiting some family in Chicago I have a ton of respect for the Chi town peeps on here. You are either biking/ walking the whole time or pay for parking everywhere you go. Prices are pretty much close to retail for what I am use to. A lot of competition and the stores are so damn spread out. Yall hustle way harder than I do. Keep doing your thing!

LOL NO WAY. I swear they keep the AC in that store at 80. Did you see me grimacing at the sight of rust colored stain on the freshly reunited BB cotton orphan? Let's grab lunch sometime. Were you the guy going through the shirts???

Not a huge brag, but I got $35 for well(ish) worn Dunhill pajamas. You can definitely get more than that for the T&A ones, @timhortons.

Thickest wool shirt/shacket I've ever seen. Totally awesome. Totally Mint. Totally NA. Vintage PRL made in USA. English wool. New Zealand suede.

Quote: That's super sweet. I think this would be classified as a "hunting shirt"

All that Canali talk earlier brought me some good luck. For the first time in 5 years, I found a tailored piece in my size. Recent 2 button micro hounds-tooth check SC w/ dual vents.

This afternoon was a bit of a letdown after finding Brionis and Kitons earlier in the week.

Four J Crew Ludlow suits

But these made the trip outside worthwhile: recent dark grey LV loafers. Cost me $65 -- but I wasn't going to leave them behind.

Sorry, all N/A.

For laces, I usually buy from Benjos. Great selection of traditional and non-traditional colors, plus waxed, round, flat, etc.
