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

[silverwarebandit]

Ooooft that Hermes is the bollocks.

$6.99 in a store with $49.99 Zegna shirts, love it when they price up stuff I’m not gonna buy anyway and miss the good stuff.

What do you guys think . stitching is immaculate and the model number corresponds but I'm not sure if the sole should be removable .

I’m not by any means an expert in these but ther model and size stamp looks fucked up. Is it an indented stamp or is it a surface print?

 

[impuntura]

Looks like a solid stamp to me

No width listed? Font and gold color looks different too Not trying to doubt but you have some killer fakes up there

Spent the last week giving Scott’s Antique Market in Atlanta a shot. I did well, had fun, and made some good connections, so I’ll be back next month and probably nearly every month after that. To Atlanta area posters: if you ever see any larger piece I post that you might be interested in, let me know and I’ll bring it up with me. @leftofthedial stopped by, cool to finally meet him after all these years. Super cool guy.


Back to the grind in FL: picked up this mirror today. I’m almost completely stumped. I know it’s hella old, but having trouble figuring out anything past them being cherubs/putti. Can’t figure out the meaning of the bird or crowns. Lots of knowledge in this thread, hoping someone can help narrow down my research.

I might have nightmares about that tonight, will report back any findings.

3 things on here that everyone else seems to find a ton of, but I rarely rarely ever see at any store I go to around here:

- Sunglasses (guessing they get back-roomed at every store I go to)
- Gitman Vintage Shirts
- Good Furniture / Artwork

It isnt just you and Im curious about that reason.

Furniture is hard to come by here because our city has tons of midcentury shops that caters to the upper middle class.

I don't think we sell Gitman here but we have tons of Lulu, w+h, TN&F here...

Maybe people over there don't have eyes @Letric

It's been a while... good to see everyone still going strong. Here are a few recent-ish staff (aka myself) picks:

Out of season, but I couldn't leave this behind:

BC pure cash:

OB:

TB:

P&S NWT:

F1925:

JS Tailored:

Someone with small feet got tired of their Santonis:

JS Tailored:

Antonio Maurizi:

Galliano:

Plus a few highlights in the denim dept.:

 

[Letric]

Few pickups from yesterday:


Starting to amass good flannels for Fall. $8.

Swimwear market is still strong. $7.

99.5% Sure this is legitimate, but any second opinions are welcome. Never bought a Brit before. $7.

I don't usually pickup J.crew denim. However these had all the right factors - style, size, condition and price of $13.

I'm not big on To Boot New York either, but these also had all the right factors and will do well in Fall. $20.

Saved this for last as it's probably the most valuable score from yesterday. I don't normally give Mountain Hardwear items much attention, but I saw this on a fresh rack and it seemed more special than the average Mtn. Hardwear jacket. $13.

It's one of their highest end jackets. Made with their top-end "DryQ Elite" fabric. MSRP was $350, whereas most other jackets they have are in the sub $200 region. Cleaned up beautifully and should do well this Fall or next Spring.

Cheers

Long time no post. Not much time to get out the past few months but have had a few decent finds.

LP is NWT and Drakes is a sweet navy gren.

Mintiest Sulka i've ever found and not crazy wide. Aslo this is the first RT Estate tie i've found and this thing is amazing. I was shocked at how nice the silk is.

Osprey Meridian 60 with the actual packable waist belt that the new version doesn't have. Missing the daypack but i'll keep any eye out on ebay as they seem to come up from time to time. Or I can order a new one from them for 50$ which isn't bad considering it was only 10$.

Nice minty Kiton in linen

Have been looking for some decent white jeans for a while and these fit the bill. Super light weight NWOT quality.

This was a nice little pickup and in immaculate condition including the lock instructions.

And my favorite find in a while. Fit perfectly, amazing condition. I have been looking for a pair of rugged black boots for years that I actually liked and I finally found some. Never thought I'd find a pair of these in my size in great condition. Anyone know how old they are?

Some more odds and ends....
Foot Locker from 1946. Has some non-original paint on it, but I couldn't leave it for how cheap it was.

Also just popped Smather's & Branson. On the day before my company's golf outing too. Plan on wearing it every time I golf until it disintegrates.
