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

Hey folks...wondering if anyone can answer this?

That Oliver Spencer jacket I found has these pockets at the very back side of jacket. They are actually a pocket (at least there is a lined enclosed space if I unbutton it) but too far back for anyone to reach. Nobody while wearing this jacket has access to those pockets.

Is this just decoration then? Anyone see that before?

I think it's one of their 'things'. I had a shirt from them that had a pocket on the back too. Probably a fashioney thing.

Bro, do you even thrift? I think you should turn your keyboard over to your wife. That girl is killing it.

Hahah yea man I do, I work a lot so I only get to the stores a few times a week, she hits them everyday and kills it. We split up in the store when we go and she hits the women’s section while I hit the men’s stuff. Pretty effective

It's a game pocket for hunting. Workwear brands like to put them on jackets and vests.

Compared the game pockets on my Barbours, that doesn’t count. That’s a flap.

Love Golden Years ... Young Americans..

I actually met him in SF and had a pint ... Crushed my soul when we lost him...

Also, some Prince music ...driving at 2am late at night coming home exausted... Dirty funk ftw

If you've never seen this - you are missing out; absolute gem IMO (from NY show)

Man! Prince was amazing.

For my part, even though I think Ted Nugent is a waste of skin, nothing beats "Stranglehold" for accelerating onto a freeway onramp.

Got a little wild at TJ Maxx the other day.

Holy crap. How much were they at tjmaxx?

 

[Dirt]

Holy ****! Cashmere too, right? That's insane.

Man, the TJ maxx stores around here never have anything remotely desirable. Just slightly discounted fodder. I wish there were some rhyme or reason to why some of the stores you guys hit have awesome stuff and other stores don’t. I mean, chain stores should have similar brands in inventory across the board, right?

I keep doing this. Spotted some allen Edmonds split toes in my size (9-9.5D) on eBay. I need some black dress shoes. Didn't want to bid too early. Went to a party, forgot to bid. Sold for $9.99. Damn it!

With that said, are you an asshole if you wear split toes with a suit? Too casual?

From the bay - fits! And it's already clean!

Grabbed it when a notification fired -

Oxxford vintage custom cashmere - thickest weight they make overdyed black

Cost me 4 ties from my horde of 200 - should come out ahead of it replaces my zegna 56 car coat, which is a favorite but just a hair short (it's shorter than a lot of my blazers)

I buy quite a bit on eBay due to fit issues; hope it's from you guys

I have some other stuff to post, but some recent finds...

Someone (one of the Aussies?) mentioned this brand about a month or so ago, and I meant to respond then. Pretty cool stuff from a now-defunct company.

These came with a ton of extra lenses:

Stamped, but will have to take a closer look at the purity.

Ludwig Reiter boots:

@HansderHund always love your posts! Those Reiter boots are great!

I sometimes wonder, if I could swap finds with one other person, who I would choose. Hansder is pretty close to the top of the list

That Burberry duffle

man i've found some crazy **** (and so have you!) but for consistency and quality 2ndhandman's finds are right up there. Hans is another great one but i actually don't recognize a bunch of that euro stuff so i end up learning on his poastssss.
