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

[AHS]



and if anyone is curious about the be speaker….

James John Simon Yorke was born on 1 September 1912.1 He was the son of James Hamilton Langdon Yorke and Violet Mary Vincent.2 He married Bridget Essex Curteis, daughter of Admiral Sir Alban Thomas Buckley Curteis, on 29 July 1938.1 He died on 30 April 1963 at age 50.1 He fought in the Second World War.1 He gained the rank of Captain in the service of the Royal Navy.1 He was decorated with the award of the Distinguished Service Cross (D.S.C.) (and bar).1 He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) of Pembrokeshire in 1958.1 He held the office of High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1962.

Sounds as if he was a true gentleman, warrior, and family man. More importantly, what size was D.L. Yorke?

Nice story behind the clothing.

Anderson or Upton?

NWT brown, double pleat Canali trousers. How old are these?

I'd say those are circa 2000 - 2004. Blue Label was changed to Brown in like 2007-2009 I think. The 1934 label is 2013+.

《James Hamilton Langdon Yorke》 was a relative of mine. Not joking.

I have the same exact one with the same tags so I would like to know the answer as well

Thanks man, how much do you reckon I could get for them?

Another JAB line by Zegna? Or is this line replacing the previous signature gold made in Mexico by Zegna? Appears similar to maquiladora made Z Zegna line...

Tailored Brooks Brothers jacket came back. Sweet. Very happy with this thrift find.

Wearing it tonight to our local Symphony. Everything I'm wearing is thrift.

Brooks Brothers jacket
Charles Tyrwhitt shirt.
Ted Baker tie
Ted Baker denim
Dion pocket square (which I probably mangled stuffing it in pocket)

About a 38/40 R borderline S.

Anderson or Upton?

GTFO. Really?

Too small for you, so you should just send it my way. Could make it even easier, I'll come pick it up!

Spoo, I agree with AHS, that might be one of my favorite finds ever posted on this thread. Also, congrats on the opening of Luxswap! It looks really really great! Can't wait to make a pilgrimage out there one of these days.

Yes, really! Without going into my family naming conventions and genealogy, definitely from my father's side.
