Flip it, it isn't your style at all.

Disagree, goes perfectly with the aviators, broken in denim and slides.

I've said it a million times.....but I'll say it again. How the **** does something like that get donated?!?

1st things first: massive shoutout and thank you to @dadjeans for being an incredibly generous human and sending me this killer RRL shacket when I mentioned how cool I thought it was. Very, very stand up guy.

Next,2 e-thrifts that came in yesterday and today. N/A

Everything that follows is a mix of regular thrift and diggin’ in the bins. Vintage little e Levi’s 501’s are both 70’s, full selvedge and were found 2 days apart.

@Backhand thanks for the info! And yes, it’s 16x19

yeah people like those, not ultra valuable but more than $6

The babolat is kinda a granny stick but someone might want it around wimbledon time to have a hit in the park.

Hey all! I have been in nursing school and haven't been able to post here in a couple years! I doubt anyone remembers me anyway, haha. Anyway - It looks like you guys are all killin' it as usual. Thrifting and flipping is still funding my school and I am on track to graduate debt free, so I am still really grateful to all of you for the information I picked up on this forum. Here are some of my recent picks (the topo stuff is from their sample sale and the rest is either thrift or estate sale):

Houston, #onestop Thursday night highlight.

I just picked up the western version of that vest.

Nothing amazing, but since I only buy for my 5'6" ass, pickins will be slim. The quest is still damn fun!

Left Field Chelsea selvedge. 1980s Reyn Spooner.

And another pair of 1980s USA shrink to fit 501s. Really didn't need them, but hemmed to my size and someone spent money to have them tapered. And it was done well.

Dug through a basket of ties and pulled out a Brioni for $1.50.

And to further my luggage obsession, a Briggs & Riley Baseline two compartment suitcase. And finally a vintage Tumi made in USA carry on that wasn't trashed. $5 each.

vintage Pendleton scarf, a baby alpaca Peruvian one... And a British made Kangol $3 each.

So, there you have it.

Stopped at local thrift, saw these 2 (AND LEFT EM WITH LINING ALL CUT UP)

Flip. The sleeves are too long, they hide the guns.

Keep!

Just waiting for me in one of the most flipped stores in the city on way home.

It’s always surprising what gets overlooked in the busy spots. I was at the busiest store in Chicago on a Saturday and found an Arnys forestiere with leather just sitting on the racks waiting for me.

Out of my comfort zone, but it does look good.

We've been down a car for about 4 weeks now, so not much thrifting happening. I'll be getting out there this afternoon for a couple hours of pick-me-up. It's amazing how many new parts a repair shop can put on your car BEFORE they figure out it needs a new motor.
