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

One quick stop on lunch yielded this gorgeous HF Silk Knit Tie.

There was also this Ferragamo tie that was nice but they had $9.99 on it. Is that high? Was that a good pass??

It really depends on the color, pattern, and overall quality of the tie. $9.99 is about on the upper range that I am willing to pay for pre-owned Gamo neckwear.

I wasnt too thrilled about the pattern or colors. I also thought $9.99 was on the high side. I was curious about what others thought was expensive. Thank you!

Oil Painting signed ToBin with a capital B in the middle. Only relevant artist I can find is Eric Tobin. The To in Tobin is similar but not the full signature. Any ideas?

Those scrimshaw buttons just make that so over the top old school trad its not even funny. I bet his wife's name was Bunny.

...Any ideas?

it's a palette knife painting. i see quite a bit of this kind of thing and usually assume these are production pieces for tourism or some such. not a great bet imo.

I haven't touched a thrift shop in weeks. Oxfam has been slim pickings for at least 2 months, and nothing has changed. I did pop in today, and found this Gieves & Hawkes navy blue flannel jacket. I think it's a sport coat, but not sure. From January 2013's collection. Size 42R, but it's so nice around the shoulders I'm tempted to tailor it.

...but it is available if any one wants it?

They also have the matching pants. Each piece has a retail of around $128. They are currently $38 each at my local Brooks Brothers store. They are set to drop to $26 each next week. I was going to buy a few at that point. Nice find!

Proxy?

Proxy?

What's your waist size now? 32

You were easier to buy for when you wore big boy sizes. lol Seriously, their selection is limited. What size pants or shirt were you trying to find?

Had a great haul (for Cleveland). Pics to come.

Heads up: Savers is having 50% off here, might want to check your local shop to see if it's the same.

Lol. I found one of those at my local GW yesterday.

Found these today, pretty sure the guy ended up not needing them because he was wearing a Structure jacket. Haha

Also met up with gm-h for a bit today. Super nice guy and good to put a face to an avatar. I think we both did pretty well, and I think I may have finally found some "good" camo. Nat or anybody else ever seen this stuff before? eBay completed listings look promising.
