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

[Coldsnap]

I passed on a pair of Kiton jeans (tag said made in China?). They were ugly as sin, but after checking eBay prices , maybe i should have picked them up.. Are they desirable?

 

[noob in 89]

And... how did I do? All of these have the correct stitching in the old school method, and are all made in the US. Some are Hanes, some Fruit of the Look, and some are Screen Stars...

Fila #1 is some solid Boyz N Tha Hood style steez, but Fila #2 straight-up dooooope!*

Coke T is pretty solid, I'm guessing. The 90210 lookalike is one that would have me shaking my fists if I found it.

I'd grab the cat one but wonder if I'd made a mistake...

The rest look meh and appropriate for Etsy grinders only, though I could be wrong.









*i have never said this word out loud.

Give that Ricci shirt to Spoo.

A few gems from the week, didn't get out much.

Dirty SF suede


Mashburn and Rugby RL khakis


Rugby RL Indian Madras shirt


and the biggest find in a long time, a silk Stefano Ricci shirt, Large. Rarely go to this GW, it was 50% and about to age out LOL. Not sure I want to list this one myself.

Can ask about the size on that madras?

Aldens in rough shape. If you’re a 10.5 D or 12 B and feel like doing a restoration job get at me.

Going through records I had in storage as we get ready to move. Don’t think I ever posted these. Singles are Jesus Walks, Hey Ya, Change Clothes and a few others not pictured. Got doubles of some.

Not pictured: Art Blakey Night in Tunisia on Blue Note

Also I must have found this five years ago but tonight noticed a card tucked in the sleeve. Check it out.

Edit: And a thrift fit. Zegna linen shirt. I’ve since realized it looks better unbuttoned with a tee. Pants are Dries Van Noten (not thifted).

Give that Ricci shirt to Spoo.

He's about to have mail, was thinking he would be the best.

Can ask about the size on that madras?

Large, just put it up on the bay. Available, obviously.

 

[aging in rhythm]

You guys think this a bootleg or nah? tag is missing. No Moz left behind. Size M.

I don't know much about Harley tees but I thought this was cool and worth a gamble at 99¢. Medium


Recent Polo, size 9. Not my size and not sure how well they flip but they were too nice to leave behind. Insides are buttery soft

@Mr. Moo If for reselling, I would have probably only grabbed the Fila shirt with the pink lettering. As a general rule (at least mine), shirts from events are usually valueless unless a biker rally, like Sturgis or a sporting event with a big name athlete or sponsor attached to it (i.e. Michael Jordan, Nike etc..)
It's different if you're someone that has a presence or a following on etsy/ebay and you're basically a tastemaker for the people who follow you and are willing to pony up for the items you're curating. Or if you have or are selling to a brick and mortar shop. I've found that random shirts from places, events and such can be super awesome and get next to nothing for traffic and price. I've always chalked it up to people not knowing it exists, so they aren't searching for it.

I collect shirts and a lot of the stuff that I buy and post here simply gets photo'd for posterity and folded neatly into a box. I save some for the possible day it becomes a "thing" and others I just compulsively buy because I have a sickness of the mind that doesn't allow me to leave cool vintage shirts behind.

Help.

 

[Nataku]

@Nataku @Pierson v Post Can you help me with anything besides "Green army pants" on the pants? Are they really from 1951? Any value?

+1 on what @leftofthedial said. Korea-era stuff just doesn't seem to have a big collector base. They are great pants through and still hard to find due to their age. Probably $30-$40. Maybe less if the market has dropped like a lot of other stuff. Sold a couple unworn pairs for $60 several years ago.

That Hot Tuna shirt is awesome!

@Canyon TMNT is not the one youre looking for (no vintage shirts have printed tags, only paper hang tags).

Not a Borrelli, but it WAS the TMNT I was looking for.

I never did drugs (except for an occasional inhale), but I thought it a nice little present to myself for 4 years of sobriety.

 

[Mr. Moo]

Thank you guys for the tips. I'll keep looking and learning.

In the meantime, size 12 C&J boots for $50:

@aging in rhythm

That Morrissey shirt is legit, I'm pretty sure. I wanna say it's You Are the Quarry-era? No Moz left behind indeed.

 

[noob in 89]

Also: Was that a Doc Gooden beach towel we just saw?

Holy ****.
