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

I will admit the more that I thrift and grab RL stuff, the more I respect the things he's done. I hate the manufacturing in third world countries, but the styling/conceptualization/materials/construction are all top top notch.

A couple of stops this week. Women's Edwin jeans. Redline but not selvedge. Not sure about these.






Salvrtore Ferragamo



Bally Swiss



Don't normally pick up Scotch & Soda, but maybe I should. I have yet to leave anything with happy face gauntlet snaps.



Polo authentic bleeding Madras. Ralph says it bleeds and I want to believe him. Hope it's the stuff that actually causes cancer. Wore it today.



Vintage USAF. Shiny. Wish it fit. If label is to be believed, I have now thrifted underwear. pop.



The 63 in the DSA number is 1963?

Initially thought this was a paint stain, but looks to be a pattern woven into the collar, which is the part that might show. Camo?

Ask and ye shall receive. The buttons are AMAZING.

Love it!! It's like Dale of Norway got taken out west and toughened up a bit.

That feel when you cop an '03 MM4 Maison Martin Margiela staple black cashmere cardigan for your wife and she doesn't get it (my wife, for all of her wonderful qualities, does not /love/ clothes the way that I do.) I /love/ Margiela and this was a sweet find.[/quoted gave my wife a full length Malo 100% cashmere knitted overcoat I thrifted last year, she still prefers the free people sweaters I find for her

I asked to see the vicuna and was told "not now, its all downstairs".

What the ****. Im wearing a suit, driving a Maserati, bringing you a 7K vest. Show me the damn vicuna. lol. i mean i wasn't buying but you think she would have tried right.

Damn man, I haven't shaved in like three months and biked there smelling liked hungover anchovies. I looked like a dirtbag (which I am) but got excellent service. At the same time, the store was dead, the street was dead. I think oak street lives on gigantic baller buys

THIS is my closet i **** u not.8 feet long.great for chin ups too
I lead a spartan lifestyle,if I have no room left and i wanna buy something then an item has to go to make room.

I am completely unfamiliar with this brand. 100% linen. Is there a market for such a thing?

Pulled a pair of shoes that has an odd odor - the only way I can think of to describe it is that it smells like my grandma's basement. Old, stale, maybe kind of a mothballish smell, but it's noticeable and I want to get rid of it. Any ideas?

 

[Cj52racers]

When in doubt, coffee right?

@Cj52racers so like...just dump beans in or put them in a bag and put them in or what?

 

[Cj52racers]

Not sure, never done it with shoes, but I've done it with sweaters. Bag with coffee and then a bag with the sweater left open in there. Seems to work pretty well
