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

Been looking for something to store ties in. Bought this today. Not 100% sure I like it. Thoughts?

If your gonna keep the collection at a modest level that amount of storage will do just fine, but from someone who just today had to totally redo his tie storage situation because I have 600+, if your gonna be buying them up left and right, your gonna want numbered stackable bins and a spreadsheet, they aren't pretty but they get the job done.

EDIT: For my personal collection though I use the automatic rotator that hooks onto your closet pole. Enough space for the necessities.

This thing can fit about 30; which is all I need for personal use. I only wear ties once or twice a week. If I ever get to the point where I need to vlookup the location of my ties, I will admit that I have a problem

The Cinese character on the bottom says "Lei" which means storm in a very cartoony style. The second sets of characters says "Beautiful women like jade." I don't think they are worth much though.

Bottom character says "Thunder" pronounced in mandarin chinese Lei (lay).

Second 4 literal meaning: Beautiful Woman/Person (Comparable to) Jade.
I think a better translation is like this: "A beautiful woman is comparable to (the beauty of) jade"
Mandarin chinese pronunciation "mei ren ru yu"

Anyone have an idea who makes shoes for United Colors of Benetton? These were made in Romania.
