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

[Bahljs]

I'm not @SpooPoker but was just thinking about this a couple days back... I'm at ~150 in my personal collection/rotation, which likely sounds absurd. I'm at the point where I have to decide between getting rid of a Ricci, Kiton, Hermes, etc if I'm going to take one out of my collection.

Right? This weekend I'm downsizing (which brought the thought about). I'll post massive lots for minimal trades when all said and done.

Also, thread, is it appropriate to post "an official tie appreciation thread" under classic menswear? I'm thinking about starting one.

Yo @SpooPoker
 how many ties do you own? (that are yours)

I havent counted in a while but I think 200 or so. For my stock though, thats a different story, I probably have 1500-2000 ties I haven't listed yet.

Anyone who has visited me at the store can attest to this.

That count is after my most recent purge haha.

You're usually the one "depositing" the stains, I know.

Yup, I would go back for those. The oxyclean treatment has never let me down, with regards to collar stains.

Been gone for a week and finally getting caught up. Holy **** its been raining Kiton!

After visiting some family in Chicago I have a ton of respect for the Chi town peeps on here. You are either biking/ walking the whole time or pay for parking everywhere you go. Prices are pretty much close to retail for what I am use to. A lot of competition and the stores are so damn spread out. Yall hustle way harder than I do. Keep doing your thing!

The carbona line of products I have seen remove some serious stains once I started using there stuff. There stuff works it's formulated for different kinds of stains. The only thing is you have to have some idea of "what" it is.
I would have bought to try regardless what's the worst that could happen? If I couldn't get the stain out i would take it to the tailor and have him turn it into a banded collar.
