^ diors are lovely. and alden bluchers.

@GMMcL so why are they slashing coats? to send a message to the thrift staff re: pricing? i don't understand how it stifles competition when they could simply buy the clothes, rather than ruin em?

I'd assume it's more "I can't afford to buy all of these so I'll make sure no one else can". It's probably just used as a tool to try to get other flippers to not come back to the store.

huh.
where i live if they couldn't afford em they'd just steal em.

Man, that is nuts. I've seen flippers at this place, but nobody that seems like they'd be that hardcore about it. One guy I see regularly picked up, inspected, and put down some Aldens... then I swooped.

Hard to find much in @MJMcRibb wake so here the best of what's left:

NOS Indianapolis 500

Bemidji Woolen Mills

Orvis Suede Bomber

80s Harley and Easyriders

Tommy Hilfiger

$2 you say? I suppose that's OK.

Nice to know there are some true thrifts still out there. Even my best store would have that at $20, other places $30-60

The two I've found recently were both under ten. The one place typically has high prices too. After I paid I told her I was surprised it was so cheap. She said that's because it's a fake, there's no s in Burberry.

I love thrifting.

Here's a thread first. Found a seven fold tie at my local 99 cents store. They have a small tie section but they always suck so badly. Well this one doesn't. Not bad for a dollar.

Spoo signal sent out already, waiting for authenticity check. Any idea if this KU or Pam Anderson?

Found this in the Halloween section at Goodwill:

Jacket: 19" seam to seam at the underarm, to fit a chest to 38" max. Will fit waist to 32" max. White belt is soiled, not sure how to clean it properly.



Pants: 31XL. Inseam 34". Small white mark of some kind on front of pants, probably come out easily with dry cleaning.



No gloves, no cover. This should never have been in 'costumes', so I picked it up and am looking for a Marine in need of dress blues who can wear these measurements.

You have to admit, Marines got style.
