i dunno, i don't have any qualms with competition but i don't like to draw maps simply because i hunt what i hunt, they might hunt other stuff, etc etc.

seems to me other folks are just as well off with yelp and google as they would be with my advice. then again i thrift in a very desultory way but i do okay!

which reminds me, copped a ricci suit today. had to reunite and errythang.

 

[snackbandit]

Not true thrift, but since they were for personal use, I was happy to take a risk on the 13.5 sizing and 14.5" insole length

A few recent finds; not even close to everything, but it'll have to suffice. Between work and classes, I'm effectively doing 50+ hour workweeks, to say nothing of flipping-related activities.

Starting things off with an unstructured Isaia casual triple patch. 95/5 cotton/silk. Suprising lack of handwork for a fairly modern piece, save for some internal details. Measures in at a 42, despite being tagged a 46.
























Caruso private label sport coat, pure cashmere. 42R.













******* puncture above the vent (through the lining too)

but I'm not about to leave a Brioni green plaid country suit. I was so pumped to reunite this. 38 x 31

























LBM 1911 Limited edition; love this sucker.
Linen blend unstructured herringbone w/patch pockets, 42. Little wear mark hidden among the herringbones, but dayum































North Face Summit Series 600 fill expedition parka, for those balmy days on the South Col
























I don't always



But when I do... nicest Boss I've ever seen in my life- is "Tailored" a MTM line? Pick stitching for days; double takes for the flower loop and effing Carlo Barbera fabric. Made in Germany too! Slim-ass 40



















Yohji! Dark olive green IRL. Size 5 (~42)






















I typically leave obscure-shop-brand MTM/Bespoke pieces, but a for a 6x2 Zegna windowpane pure cashmere donegal with badass handwork (for $7.99, no less)... exceptions can be made. 42




















Zegna Roma fit 'pane, 44
















Belvest 130s double-vent w/purple checks, tagged 48, measures closer to a 46.

















Goliaths report in! AE sharkskin split toes, 14D









Burberry London flannel flat fronts; tagged a 34 but slimmed to 30x29

Agreed on Zegna DB..

Happen to have the full article for those without a WSJ sub?

I usually don't post single items but this one is worth it. I couldn't resist the urge "guys" lol. Consignment find.

I'll add these just because I think they're cool.

 

[Fueco]

@SomethingsFishy, can you post pictures of the other tags in that North Face down. Something seems fishy.

 

[SomethingsFishy]

@SomethingsFishy , can you post pictures of the other tags in that North Face down. Something seems fishy.

On it. Seems spot-on for an early-run Baltoro though.


How are we looking?

 

[TheNeedMachine]

if you're coming thrifting with me, you're getting drunk.

I show up drunk. It's sort of my thing.

2016 starting off strong and getting better. Yesterday I was invited to join a multi-dealer gallery in the heart of Antique Row (http://www.westpalmbeachantiques.com). You can now find a small, curated collection of my better pieces at D&G antiques.

That's pretty awesome - congrats!!

I can totally see myself living in LA...muahahahhaha

...until you see how much housing is. My company asked me to move out there (they're based there) years ago and I called "nope" on that.

Pastel patchwork madras. 46R.

That thing is Baller DeVille!

 

[Nataku]



@nataku did lightning strike twice?

Sorry man, I don't think so.

 

[rhz5001]

Haha wow, so my made up scenario that was supposed to sound ludicrous actually happened to someone? *******, part of the struggle here is knowing how to navigate yourself to optimize number of stops, and that's something an out of towner could never do moving here, I could hit 10 spots to there 3 or 4, so I'll still give out my route, up for a challenge if they want to test.

And yes, it is all easily found out via the internet, so you can be a nice guy and save the person the trouble, or be a dick and tell them to search blindly for thrifts in a city they know nothing about.

T-3 Days

 

[dukedishin]

Sorry for bidding against you, but glad they went to someone here.

 

[Cj52racers]

I love Bontoni. Wish those had been bigger.

 

[GMMcL]



if you're coming thrifting with me, you're getting drunk. not only for the good times but for the fact that you won't remember where we went. @capnwes @GMMcL @brianpore can attest to the drunk part anyhow

Can I? I don't remember.
