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

Heads up to those that live near a major metropolitan/GOOD Bloomingdales.....They've had this seasons line of Canali 1934 and Kei as well as Eidos Napoli on Clearance but today only it's an extra 60% off all clearance items...if you want some Isaia made.... in the factory owned by the company that manufacturers Isaia but doesn't manufacturer mainline Isaia blah blah blah .... better yet, if you are someone who has never given a **** about the different Isaia manufacturing facilities and just generally accept that all they're tailored Goods (not including Gianluca Napoli line) are ******* gorgeous pieces of work, even though construction quality does differ a little....then go buy some motherfucking Eidos for pennies on the dollar cuz that **** is straight fire...your welcome..

I actually prefer Eidos over Isaia. Love the few pieces I have. If anyone goes and is willing to proxy anything 40 L I'll make it worth your while.

If I had a little more money in the bank I'd be all over the Canali Kei.

Dunno if you're aware but that **** be licensed....dunno if you're stoked for personal cop or you think it's a quality crafted piece...

At true thrift price, IDGAF because I'll use it in the home office if not really flipable. Has some nice things, like dovetail construction on the drawer. Thanks for the heads up tho!

Didn't have to go one second beyond this shot to tell you which one was Jos A Bank




Hint, its the one with the outdated boxy cut and football pad shoulders

40 L. You should buy this: https://*****************/listings/412945-Eidos-Eidos-Plaid-Sport-Coat-50L-40L

If it fit me, I would.

Edit: Why no Grailed links?

Gene. *******. Wilder. Just when I thought I couldnt love him any more.

This.

Wow, if I could have this level of insight to my own daily wear

This.

Finally found something at a Saks Off. RLBL Daniel Linen SC 40 R NWOT for well under the 10% rule. My photography set-up is poor, but its a great cobalt blue.

Good God that's stunning. And my size too.

I think they had some scrap during the early days of Grailed --- I think Grailed was spamming people here. Eidos is fine. More unstructured cut than most Isaia. But some cuts are not very flattering. And I have yet to see one with the level of handwork I've seen on (some) Isaia. EDIT: BTW, if the one you tried to link to is the green Lorenzo, that's the one from No Man Walks Alone and is specifically the one that DOESN'T fit me well.

I've got a line on some shoes I've been hunting for at least 10 years.
