The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Hoofit]

^^ silvano sassetti. Pretty nice shoes I found a pair a while back, took a while to sell but will move.

 

[Letric]

Did okay for a few casual stops tonight:

Burb and Zinga Sport Coats in good shape. $8 each.

AE Powells in barely worn condition. $15

And ******* finally after months of checking the utensils section of every store I'm at. Whisk attachment for my KitchenAid mixer. $5.

Can't go wrong with a pair of AE Park Avenues. If you think you can use them, keep them!

some pretty nice brown Allen Edmonds Park Ave's, which may be their most popular brand. They fit me perfectly, but I don't know if I should keep them

I didn't even know this brand exists. From a sold search I think I can get double my money back, but I will probably keep them, since they are Goodyear welted and look really nice on me

A bunch of Polo Ralph Lauren sport's coats

and finally an overcoat. I'm not too good with ing loro piana stuff, so I don't know if this is actually worth anything (kind of like a worthless zegna cloth jacket vs $$$ a zegna jacket) I see ing loro piana cloth everywhere, but don't which is actually worth something. But, this exact overcoat sold on ebay recently for $99 so I picked it up

I finally know. It has been eating at me every night for years. I figured him for a true bespoke by one of Los Angeles many great bespoke shops. I guess zegna MTM is pretty good from all of them I've handled.

I wonder if you can get extra for this, especially considering his health?

[Letric]

Yep those appear to be shell. Nice.

10 years to find shell. Which means you'll find another pair later this week lol.

 

[flipstah]

Nice find! Took me a while to find shell. I'm still waiting for that day to return haha.

 

[Purplelabel]

My size to boot.

 

[Pyrrhomaniac]

AE Fifth Avenues with some curl in them, but in good condition overall. View attachment 1197873 View attachment 1197874

Homeboy explains how he gets those wrinkles to be very feint, and using shoe trees after each wear will help a lot, if you're gonna flip, they will look much better, if you're gonna keep em, then you can make em pop like a motherfucker.

@thriftvader

What is this?

Fake. IMHO

Seen a few of these. not at the quality level of Buzz Rickson's.

 

[Thrift Vader]

He's milkin' that blanket for all its worth.

I'd rather have a Pendleton.

My blanket is better.

 

[Odradek]

Picked up a pair of brown loafers by Ducker & Sons, the now defunct shoemakers in Oxford.
Now I know they made their own bespoke shoes, but they also sold a lot of RTW from Northampton makers such as Edward Green, Green and Loake.

I'd say these are definitely not EG, but can anyone identify the maker ?

Apart from the size, the only numbers inside are 60314 and 2755.

Unusual little ridge around the heel counter.

I had planned to flip them, but they are just my size, and hardly worn.

They somehow look a bit burgundy in the photos, but definitely dark brown.
