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

Am I tripping, or does this tag look really suspect?

You’re not tripping. I’m thinking the same, I hope not but due to hype around the new Gucci, I wouldn’t be surprised if was Fucci.

I was thinking fake too. The 'U' on the tag is almost squared off. Quality of the printing also looks a bit fuzzy.

Hey Divsec! it's been so long. hope you are well.

I am doing well; I've just been lurking the thread, trying not to get depressed comparing my finds compared to what's posted.

I'm making a huge step though, I've quit my job and am going to be thrifting full time starting January!

Does the "a" in "Made" look like "o". Different than the "a" in "Italy"?

Mint fresh NWT deadstock Five Brother flannel. Not sure how the USA Made sticker on the front pocket stayed on all these years.

Funny story.wednesday evening i stopped by a store pretty late and this lamp was in the donation room.
I asked the manager if she could price it for me but she said flat out no,processing etc etc.
I said ok.
Next morning I show up and it's gone ,figured it sold.
Went to the side of the building because I wanted a cigarette and it's just standing there by the trash compactor .
Works perfectly .
Idiots

Who is maker? First love is furniture, but I ran out of room - can be an interesting piece.

I picked up a Sarieen table last night, 35" knoll, cast iron base, stamped and stickered , hand cur and polished marble top from first year of production - drove from SF to LAX to pick it up.

With gas, I'm still at 5% of what this would cost if you could find one - still in my car; need 2 people to move.

I'm in love -

Yeah but how is his shades whisper?

Here's some more pics - let me know what you guys think - luckily the Talbott tie I just sold covers the cost in case I messed up with this one... Fabric is awesome, stitching is on point/even, but I could be wrong (won't be the first or last time)...

Would much rather you guys catch me here, then get a fake claim on the bay. Sucks it doesn't fit the GF bc she wouldn't care haha.

Well, after a dry spell (trying to catch up backlog) I had to head a bit south to fight a speeding ticket, so took advantage of the wait between court sessions to check out some areas I don't normally make the drive to. Glad I did. Here's the overview:

'Gamo Friar, Parigi and Dean. Minty CH bench made in England, Polo, and in front, J&M which I don't normally kop, but these were cool, Keen, Bally Taft (ostrich & peccary), new Dr. Marten's for the girls.

Patagucci puffer, Polo as equestrian as it gets, F&S as thick as a blanket, two NWOT pairs of Tilley "Give 'Em Hell" pants.

TNF goose puffer

Theory SC, J Crew seersucker, three cheapo BB suits, two NWT.

David Chu x 2, and minty Polo Made in Italy pins x 2.

Vestimenta linen suit, Hickey LP, Brioni Super 180s pin. The Brioni and the four other suits in the last image were on a rack that hadn't been put out yet. Grabbed 'em before anyone saw 'em . . .

Brioni x 3 and a Kitty.

And that's how a speeding ticket turns into a good day!! Happy hunting!!
