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

I see Miller Bros non-stop, and they have some very high quality OTR and MTM stuff, but since I'm more a reseller I never grab it...it's not well known outside of the Atlanta area. Same for Edgar Pomeroy - dude made some insanely intricate hand-made suits but no one seems to care, so I leave them now.

Yeah I've seen a couple of their made in Canada private label stuff which I've left but this was the first time seeing made in Italy private label

Do you know who made the Canadian stuff? It's usually Samuelsohn, Coppley, or Jack Victor making for others here.

I did watch a fairly interesting documentary about menswear made in America on Netflix

it featured a bunch of great companies such as Oxxford, Tellason, and Oak Street Bootmakers.

Not sure for this store specifically but those are the usual suspects. There's another local men's store here (and recent SF partner) H Stockton whose private label Canada suits and sport coats are Samuelsohn. I think Jack Victor makes Brooks Brothers' Canada stuff.

This tag looks like Redaelli/Gruppo CFG to anyone? (maybe other?)

The fading lines are green if anything...

Any giant monsters need a proxy?

Eagerly anticipating the arrival of this jacket. Thanks to a tip from @silverwarebandit

I was watching that, was sure it would have gone higher. Nice score

 

[DerekS]

Haven't been out in a bit. Got some stuff for myself and grabbed these too

 

[kbadgley84]



I feel your pain. It's gotten so bad around here, and the thrift stores knowing and hoarding every men's label from Eton to Patrick Ervell doesn't help either.

Those RB's are vintage so there is no model #. 1960's or prior. Could be WWII-era aviators. Either way, I think you're looking at good $$ with those original lenses.

WWII era would not say ray ban on the lenses. There is a vintage ray ban thread in the ol SF

 

[Nataku]

Ah yeah, I'm far from an expert on those. Haha. They are definitely old, though. If WWII is ruled out, I'd guess 50's.

I would say way later probably 70's Could be wrong tho

Thanks fellas. Either way I love em, the character and everything makes them neat. Hooked on the sunglasses bin now.

the reinforced shoulders/elbows are pretty interesting for that vintage, seems like you don't see typically those on american riding jackets until around 1960. nice score!

 

[drlivingston]

meh...


Holy ****! (available if they fit you

- I can't really find any sold listings...)

I actually just sent off the nicest Pomeroy by Greenfield jacket I ever encountered. Handwork on it was absolutely stunning, and I have about 20 Miller bros ties in my rounder.
