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

Wait, why are you leaving decent-looking shirts, assuming they’re your size?

(I swear, Target sells a cotton Merona vest now that looks like EG. )

I'm not sure what other areas are like but if I bought every Goodfellow shirt in my size that looked decent, I'd have literally 200 new shirts every day.

But there was a Salvation Army downtown that had Goodfellow t-shirts for $0.75 one day. I bought like 10 of them.

Lol the YSL is a tux rental lmao. Notch lapel.

The Brioni is way nicer, with surgeon cuffs but either get it altered or flip.

What do you call that cart that comes out at like course 7 with the sweet treats, like the jellys, the chocolate things you pick up with the tongs, etc.

That was insane at Ramsays. Daniel has it down, Per Se hits that out of the park but Ramsay, unbeatable.

That my friend is a good question lol that thing is a serious artifact of French fine dining

I've never had it better than Joel Robuchon at the MGM Grand in Vegas.

My boss went ther a couple years ago. Him and two other chefs. Even after all the free **** they brought out the bill was well over $1k

Yep, was about $3300 for 3 couples.

Ran out for cheap wine and chocolate and ended up making a quick stop.

Double pop on Sulka tailored clothing and St. Andrews. Shawl collar robe is minty vintage women’s and cashmere. Only tag is remnants of the ILGWU label and handwork all over. Now, I drink my cheap wine and eat my Symphony bar!

I need more shirts like a I need a hole in the head. Haha. I must have 30+ shirts in the closet, but I tend to gravitate towards 5-6 of them.

Also, Target buys high end stuff (EG, Thom Browne, 45 RPM, etc) and essentially produces knock offs. They used to donate those random high-end "inspirational" pieces (many with the tags from Barney's, Ron Herman, Fred Segal, etc) still attached to the local thrift stores here, mixed in with all the regular Target merch. That was years ago though, haven't seen that stuff hit the stores in ages. Funny thing though; I once found a Rag & Bone (I think) polo shirt with block stripes. It had a post it note on it that said "reverse stripe color". The next season, I saw Merona's version of that R&B polo.

I'm listening to the audiobook of Ed Viestur's book 'No Shortcuts To The Top'. In it, he describes the process that Polo Sport used for their first line. Basically, he gave them some of his high-end gear and they copied it.

I recall seeing a Rag & Bone x Target collab a coupe years ago. Maybe R&B leveraged that in lieu of a lawsuit

 

[the2ndhandman]

Target is also responsible for the worst collaboration in history in my eyes.

Translation for Brits ... A Barbour that is too big for my size. I leave lots of baller **** on the racks because I'm a 36R... And tailors ain't cheap.

Come again, mate? Don't be cheeky.

@StanleyWingtip, seeing that baseball is awesome. Bobby Brown was an amazing person. ****** was studying to be a cardiologist while playing for the New York Yankees. He practiced medicine until 1984 before returning to world of baseball.

Ummm....ok, Don't be Cruel, but you seem to be confused. It's My Prerogative to inform you that you should take Every Little Step to realize Bobby Brown was none of what you said...

Huh? That all is true about Bobby Brown. I'm confused.

Edit: I see what you did there
