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

[California Dreamer]

If I dreamt that I found a bunch of Kiton suits, that means I should go to at least one thrift today right?

I know in my bones it's all bollocks, but I've lost count of the number of times I've gone out thinking "Brioni", "Borrelli" or "Ricci" and found exactly those brands. It can't hurt, can it?

 

[California Dreamer]

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.

That would have been me. Very happy with the belt I found of theirs.

I bit out of my wheelhouse with these, but at $7.99/ea, I figured I'd take a shot. How did I do, audiophiles?

Its been a while since I dabbled in the sonic arts, and never truly high end, but Carver has a following. I was more a Nelson Pass guy.

Man, the TJ maxx stores around here never have anything remotely desirable.

I found tons of high end menswear in TJ Maxxs there over the years...Kiton, Brioni, RLPL, etc.

Wow! You scored. The C-1 preamp has a killer phono stage (one for both MC and MM cartridges). I'm running the C-1 preamp in my main system.

@impuntura
That is a good looking table. Is the base wood as well?

 

[Vixx]

Just back from an estate sale -

30-40 BB 3 and 4 ply v neck cashmere sweaters and sweater vests, different colors. All need love - mostly of Italian with some GB and a couple of HK

Nothing wild - mostly Ned Flanders style; nothing else worth picking up

Yessir.all walnut.

 

[Thrift Vader]

Has anyone done a "Favorite Thrift Find of the Year" thread or round-up? People post that one thing that, to you personally, made your year?

yessir.

Not to be confused with the dollar value/ thread.
ie: Kiton is worthless in here.a showcase for truly interesting/unique items.

The cheapies thread, it's like the darkest heroin for clothes thrift junkies. First time going there this year.
Here's my Sunday: 1pc collar on the rlpl

American Giant in my size still eludes me, nudie coated, BB

Beautifully well made

Another interesting find AW13 Fox Hunting jacket, RRL

 

[Cj52racers]

The coloring on that Flint and Tinder is excellent.
