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

I feel your pain... this drives me mad. You can't figure out how to get a tag around the keeper on a tie? It's a big loop of cloth. It's not rocket science.

I ran into @BonVivant at a store he mentioned to me. I don't know if he was punking me since he knows I like to hunt shirts.

Every shirt was tagged like this. Two staples through the collar... Aargh

Lots do this. Honestly, if you straighten the staple from the back and pull it through it's not really noticeable once it's out...provided they don't use super wide staples.

Ran across a filson safari jacket, minty except for the seven tag holes in the upper back. Yarns severed, complete waste. Fucked to death by a tag gun.

Does anyone know how to get patchouli stink off a suit?

Put some 'Tussin on it.

Classic old school Church's. Might even fit me so I'm really going to enjoy working on these.

I would've totally bought that and patched it.

Close, 800.
This could be either
Ferrari merchandise
Vintage polo stuff
Hot Japanese chicks

all of the above please

800 huh? Very nice!

I found this self tipped tie at a Blue Boutique Good Will for a mere $8. Sure it was made in China but is still a unique find that I can coordinate with some dress shirts.



I got this beauty at Value Village for $9.99. I've already circled damage that I've noticed but it fits well enough in the shoulders and sleeves. As I took photos of it on a table some photos are rotated so I apologize about any confusion.




Zoomed in on this hole.

Welcome to the thread. My advice, read it from the beginning. It will take some time but it will save you lots of cash.

I guess we all pay tuition. I think my worst so far is spending $90 in alterations on a Lauren Ralph Lauren navy blazer I thrifted (this in itself embarrass' me). 100% chance I'll be schooled again in the future multiple times

I found Lobbs at Buffalo Exchange once, some sort of brown plain-toe model. There was no size listed, so I guess they were custom, but they fit well. They had these godawful crepe soles, though, and they were priced at $65. Was that a bad pass? Didn't think they were that uncommon.

What buffalo exchange?
I'll go there and make a mistake and buy them.
