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

[Doomsticks]

Going to Copenhagen tomorrow trying to actually thrift something good there. My luck that Sweden has gone batshit crazy and closed the border for the first time in like 20-30 years, so it will be a hassle. Last two trips to cph I walked for over 20 miles and found basically nothing... So time to do it again! Now with closed borders, hard winds, cold weather and a general hatred for swedes in Denmark.

Woho!

Yep I found this awesome box. The insides are missing sadly which makes it lose half it's value.

Also I couldn't find the watch either. A trip to the same store is planned every day this week though.

Don't waste your time waiting for that watch to hit the floor, just go back to the production area and check the wrists of the workers.

It takes like 30 minutes to reach central Copenhagen from Malmö where I live, very little difference when if comes to eye candy

The fur looks real from here, maybe dyed? Can't imagine fake fur on an Oxxford cashmere piece. That thing is pretty sweet.

Bowties, picked up all at once, From Brioni to Rooster, RT, Carrott & Gibbs, BB, some others...

Are any of these available by chance dude?

Had to make my first haul of 16 a good one. EG anorak and Mandelli leather NA but I can be coerced if the bait is right.

Might this be available, by any chance? THE only beer I drink

Experienced my own smaller version of the thriftening this week and just got around to photographing most of it. All at one stop, all at true thrift pricing (Spent $162 in total).

Started in the sport coats, and after seeing this handiwork, I knew I was in for a special day:


Then on to the ties, where the real madness began. I stumbled upon someone's incredible tie collection. 72 ties total, 64 7-folds, 4 grenadines, and one absurd day. Took a good bit of work to identify most of these since only some had labels, and some still remain unidentified (any help would be greatly appreciated!):


22 Kitons (4 with the label, but the rest were identified by other features (7 fold, content tag, shape, etc.))













17 Luigi Borrellis w/ Label (Plus 7 w/o labels that aren't pictured).










4 Grenadines by Michael Drake (2 for Domenico Vacca)

7 Domenico Vacca 7-folds

4 unidentified 7-folds (any help would be greatly appreciated, additional details in the spoiler)









3 more unidentified 7-folds (Isaia?)








E. Marinella?

I'll spoil the rest of the ties so not to make this post too long!

Gaga Napoli 7-fold

Unidentified 7-fold (Massimo Bizzochi?)




Michael Drake for Domenico Vacca

Unknown 7-fold (fairly unique, should be easy to identify).






Unknown 7-fold (does anyone recognize the content tag?)

2 Unknown ties, not self-tipped or 7-fold (Michael Drake on the left?)

Unknown 7-fold (Cesare Attolini or Domenico Vacca?)

Unknown 7-fold w/ no content tags or other distinguishing markers

I'm sure your inbox has been blown up by now, but, are ANY of these available?

Absolutely! About half are left, still trying to spread the love to members here.

Nice find on the Oxxford cashmere Koala T!

 

[the2ndhandman]



It's a bespoke piece, not rtw. I doubt the guy would have gotten an oxxford cashmere coat made up with an odd collar shape and then gone out of house to get a separate tailor to attach a faux or real leopard collar. I'm pretty sure it came from Oxxford that way, but I wish I could definitely confirm the collar was real fir. I know nothing about fir.

Maybe your right I think I'm just shocked how bold it is I think. I'm sure someone out there will love it. I would have bought it. If the smoke test was nit helpful try soaking some of the fibers in vinager overnight. The vinager will make natural animal fibers get mushy cause it will eat the calcium if it's synthetic fibers it wont.

This statement hurts my brain.

I'm not a fancy beer person, at all.

It's what my father drinks, what his father drank, it was my first beer, it is my go to beer.
Could not care less if Budweiser is ****, cheap, not crafty, etc.
Just my preference.

He hasn't learned the joy of posing for thrift fits yet.
