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

My wife is appalled that I have made it 34 years without wearing sunglasses. So ... anyone have any frames that need to be traded away? I'll be putting prescription lenses in them, if that matters.

The shirt was in the men's section. I failed to examine it closely. Not only are the buttons on the other side but it also has front darts...

As for sizing, my guess is that some women need larger shirts...

FWIW - I'd check the nearest Target Optical and see if they have any specials going on. I recently got two pairs of prescription sunglasses done and it ended up being cheaper for me by buying the frames through them. You basically get a package discount. They have a bunch of different Ray-Bans and a few other decent frames too. Not the craziest selection but not awful at all.

So, have actually been buying stuff. I had a mission.. To buy stuff mcqueen would wear..

Found this.

Did pass. Because I have a better one already.(Beams Heart) Still on the hunt. Found :

Sugarcane denim hat. Beams beanie, Random Scarf. A modern set of choices for mcqueen. Or, at least an influence. These will all go to one member.in a trade box. With A PRL winter safari jacket and The Beams Heart cable knit sweater.

Kopped a few things for Mrs Vader. The $3 raybans, and a sick handbag.

Got this Bally organiser for $1.

With a bag I passed..
100% of the money spent will go to a charity for mental illness. will shop there again, but never clean them out. as they also clothe the mentally ill. and we all deserve to look nice.

But did Kop an item for myself.
The "Rastafarian wallpaper hoodie".
By "Live Mechanics". So dope.

Loving it.

#thriftlife homies. Have a great day.

Quick pic of a one stop. Shoes are usually a rare find here. Most are in my size too!

C'mon guys

Car pic since you fiending so bad. Lori is L, Gitman is XXL but has a small stain near pocket, gonna try that stain remover kit (I'm a sucker can't leave GV behind).

My first LP!

Looks to be from 1962 to 1968. The top portion of the tag is frayed but similar tags say 100% imported vicuna up there. I hope that's what this is. Otherwise it's in really good condition being from the 60s.

Well damn talk about ask and receive!

 

[RjamesB8]

Is this something worth flipping? Anyone know the maker?

 

[merimonk22]

Does anyone know the designer of these shoes? The insoles are worn off a bit.

You're good to go, thats the same tag (now totally falling apart) that was on a Vicuna swing coat I thrifted a few years ago. Amazing find.
