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

Some fodder and more art.
57/75 on canvas. Sold for $350 originally, no resales I can find for the canvas version, the paper version I've found. Not bad for $5

Fun vintage camp shirt

Almost paid retail for some white bucks, good thing i found these for $6 in my size. J Crew, pretty crispy after some work with the suede eraser and brush. Pictured in spoiler in their maiden voyage. Sadly not the Alden for Jcrew bucks

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

So in summary nothing super exciting given the quality of items on this thread but got a lot of intangible value this week. Hopefully some cool stuff over the weekend!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I get a TON of use out of my J Crew tan bucks, and lots of compliments too. Good find, IMO.

Nothing like scrolling through this thread to give one second thoughts about posting. But here are a few from an average day:

Spoiler

Thomas Pink polo was minty, so I bit.
My aloha shirt fascination continues, especially for vintage stuff. I don't know if Waltah Clarke's is a valuable brand, but the print and the Kamehameha buttons grabbed me. Plus Gyotaku by Naoki for Reyn Spooner, and Joe Kealoha.

Luckily, my Borrelli luck continues as well, plus DeCaro, Talbott, Canali, and anonymous PS. I would have passed on the Gian DeCaro tie, but it's 6-fold. Any PNW folks know who makes for him?

If no one buys this Mill Valley BR hat, I can use it for a Hunter S. Thompson costume at Halloween.

No idea how old these deadstock, US-Made Woolrich trous are, but they're awesome.

Also awesome: these specs:

A bit of thrift sync w @snackbandit, but mine probably aren't as desirable. No name, made in Japan. They're for Burning Man, or maybe I can wear them for a Sting costume if the HS Thompson thing doesn't work out.

Thrift bros, Style Forum asked me to take over their Instagram account in the very near future. Is there anything you would like to see photographed in the Chicago area? Any stores, restaurants, architecture, etc,etc?

All of that!

Street food, street style. As candid and gnarly as possible.

And random people fit pics in black and white.

Does a crew neck solid gray T-shirt from a ¥100 store count? Curiosity made me buy one. I mean, come on. It's only 99 cents

Edit: surprisingly comfortable.

All the places you find awesome stuff mapped out in detail lol. Seriously though, I think the food and architecture are the highlights.
