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

I actually really like Club Monico. Their dress shirts pretty much all have MOP buttons but I have a few specially made in Italy (most are made in China) and the cloth and fit is incredible. I have one sweater and I agree it is awesome, I wear it often. I'm not so familiar with their labels and it is difficult for me to identify recent and old however. I also didn't know they were owned by Polo. I wonder who makes the made in Italy stuff then.

I also find the made in china stuff to be decent but not as nice as the made in Italy and I like how there's no logos plastered all over everything. 

TLDR; I agree 

Didnt know about the RL connection but that explains a lot.
CM is a strange company one day i was on their site and they were selling Barbour jacjets.
This was the canadian site i think

I found some Wings + Horns stuff in CM's clearance section at the Mall of America once. I have no idea what the connection is but the person working said that they were online orders that were returned to the store. She said they also got some W+H tank tops that had just arrived from their home office. No idea why or how they got those.

It got me thinking I don't know the recent labels/ scale of labels of a lot of companies. Do you ever just go peruse around the mall looking at labels lol?

If it's the fleece lined nylon, I'm not really into those. If cheap enough...
They're flippable.

Thanks man, it fit but I wasn't into it either, and so it remains at the store. Picked up a few other things. Canali dress shirt



Not sure what this is, but it mostly fits and I like it. Similar to M65 field jacket, but likely something else



Hefty DB Zegna cashmere, 1997, worst pics ever




Polo USA ties, cotton left wool right, both fantastic imo



Zegna shoes, these sorry pics don't do the color or texture justice

Hey guys, got this amazing coat on the thread last year, but I've finally realized its ridiculous for me to keep it for the 1 or 2 times a year i could wear it. It really should go to someone here that can really put it to use. Longhi suede shearling. Such a sick coat and it hurts to let it go but it needs a good home.

For what we do, NMLC is better for this. Most mall brands aren't quality enough to wear or resell.

Just another vintage outdoors gear maker. I'd call them mid-tier. I just love finding old down jackets... If those make it to half price day, I might kop.

Also just scored this, which I call instant Boulder cred... A Nalgene bottle with an Upslope Brewing sticker pre-installed.

NICE! My favorite find of the year was a PRL polo coat. In fact, I recently got it back from Rave Fabricare. Two months and $150 later it looks brand new. Going to my folks today to gift it to Poppa Long Legs. That lucky SOB, he's getting the polo coat, a Brioni flannel suit and NWT Berle seersucker pants as early Xmas gifts.

Holy heck, what did Rave do for $150? I knew they were expensive, but geez.

FYI 330CK snagged this from me. It is incredibly sick - don't hesitate if you're a EU48!
