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

How do they differ from "tubular construction" t-shirts?
i'm wearing one now, brand name Tultex, made in Mexico. Has no side seams, though does have seams across the tops of the shoulders, where the sleeves attach to the shirt, and on the underside of the sleeves.

You use them as undershirts or do they work as a t-shirt to toss on for whatever? They last washes?

Been wearing my Lands Ends for at least a year. No pilling, loss of color, or stretching.

The one I have (that I am aware of - never thought to check for side seams before and just happened to be wearing it when this subject came up here - may or may not have others) is a graphic t-shirt I bought online. Only wore it a half dozen times, held up fine so far. [For you Alabama boys or Tosh fans, it's a Prancing Elites t-shirt]

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Nope

i think spoo found a piccolo shirt like a week ago if not mistaken, great MCM haul @impuntura

Nah even that's not a first. I found 12 of them or so at true thrift about 2 years ago. Still have one left that I kept for personal use. Found another at a consignment shop a few months back also. They're badass. --- Jompso what size is that brown kitten? She nice.

With Gene Wilder passing thought I might "thrift"one of his sartorial jokes on how he met Mel Brooks...

In his first major role on Broadway, 1963 production of Bertolt Brecht’s “Mother Courage and Her Children.” The production ran for less than two months, and he came to believe that he had been miscast. The good news was that he met the boyfriend of the star, Anne Bancroft: Mel Brooks, who wore a pea coat the night he met Mr. Wilder backstage and told him, “You know, they used to call these urine jackets, but they didn’t sell.”

So began the conversation that ultimately led to “The Producers.”

Today we said goodbye to my only childhood pup, Missy.

I'm only 26, so for the better half of my teenage years this pup was my go to. She's heard about the worst times of my life to the best times of my life. It's so hard to say goodbye but I know she'll be with many other pups in puppy heaven. Truly a man's best friend.

Luckily, I haven't had to deal with many deaths in my lifetime, but to see a good one go really makes you realize how much today matters.

R.I.P. Missy

@Bahljs
Sorry to hear of your loss.

 

[richnet12]

Missy! May she rest in peace.

Less than dinner out with my wife last night...but more than the bottle of wine.

...

Every day counts, wring as much as you can from it... I think Missy might be like this somewhere
