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

[Odradek]

2 e-thrifts.
New & Lingwood grenadine tie, and a Vineyard Vines one from The Meadow Club of Southampton, Long Island.

Vineyard Vines seem pretty unknown here in England.

Then, this morning I went to the Sue Ryder sale in Nettlebed, and came home with some great ties.

And in a further stroke of good luck, I spotted these old Church shoe trees when heading out the door.
The woman hadn't got change to break a 20 so just let me have them for nothing.

i've got a feeling it's easier to true thrift Row tailoring in certain areas in the US than in UK charity shops

@Versace Guy for the record, Indianapolis and the surrounding area sucks for thrifting. Carmel is probably okay, but @Cj52racers works his butt off to cover that area and the pickings are already very slim.

Midwesterners just don't know how to dress. (disclaimer: born and raised in central Illinois)

I woulda let you pork my sister for that beosystem with cabinet, and slowly laid twenty dollar bills on your back while you were doing her until you said "stop that's enough."

You just described my last weekend minus the system

No wonder my sister wasn't answering her phone.

THIS is what the ******* thread is about.

Good morning

NICE ONE! Good to see someone in our area finding stuff again, little by little. There is hope.

Dude, we get it, you two don't get along. It's probably best you just put him on your ignore list and move along.

. Yeah. Look back at previous threads if you want to see how ... Epic ... Frency's disagreements can be. He's being incredibly restrained and I commend him for it.

Nice stuff - were the e-thrifted ties from the dickie bow guy? I got 2 from him this week, pretty happy with them, I'll post them when I've accumulated a few more finds.

Yes they were.
The grenadine one has a stain on the front that he never mentioned, but I think most people would never spot it.
Had that before with a Dunhill tie I got from him that had a stain. When I complained he just said "What do you expect for that price".

I think that's why he takes such bad photos, just to hide the flaws. Still, you can get a bargain sometimes.


The small print at the end of all his listings says.... "Please note all ties may require cleaning."

I think it's partly a reflection of my interest in clothes - I like everything but love quality tailoring - and also the fact that it's still really hard to find Savile Row bespoke clothes in charity shops. In London at least, prices tend to be pretty high too, so I leave a TON of stuff behind.

If you could offer any recommendations for shops it would be greatly appreciated, would be shopping more for self than flip. In July I am flying over for my future sister-in-law's wedding near London, I'm thinking maybe Harlow? This will be about 2 months after my own wedding so we're making it a 2.5 week trip visiting London, Paris, Munich, and somewhere in Italy.

I don't think I am going to sell it, no. Its just one of those things that is all but an unrepeatable accomplishment and my wife and I really love it.

Love this. Going to mount in some way?

Sure, I'll drop you a PM. Given prices can be a bit steep for flipping anyway, shopping for yourself is probably the best way to go.

Some Oxxford jackets from this decade, this century. They seem to be true sport coats and are from the same guy dated in 03, 07, and 08.

In 2003 he started off a little portly with a 47.5" chest. The sleeves are 22.5".

Then in 2007 he decided to get fancy with patch pockets on his blazers...nice light material..BUT WHY YOU NO VENT?!
The chest size is down to 44.5". Nice job losing the weight fellow!

Finally, another year down the line, he gets it right with both patch pockets and a single vent!
And he maintained his weight loss at a 44.5" chest. Unfortunately his arms still fit in a 23" sleeve.

Popped into a GW for a quickie - - grabbed a very loud FU polyester blazer, and a couple books:

Texas members; gf and I will be in the dallas area all next week, is it worth taking a half day to go to Austin? Not for thrifting, just general food, bar, shopping, sightseeing, etc.
