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

[TheoLincoln]

Isn't that part of the idea of this thread?

You are correct, the content on the discord will be more in-depth and unfiltered: pictures, tips, stronger sense of camaraderie vs. this thread: summary of the haul of the day. I promise it will be fun if we could get a trial run.

So bummed that I had to leave these. 1940's tweed suits. There were about 5-6 of them. All with extensive moth and critter damage.

Recent finds...

Nothing available at the moment.

This Saint James peacoat is womens and very nice:

Odd details on this tweed jacket. The wool body is mint, there is damage on the collar/cuffs.

This tiny label is throwing me off and I've seen stuff with fake Ittierre tags, so is this legit @SpooPoker?

There was a box of deadstock bathing suits for kids, in addition to some shoes and other clothes. Grabbed these for my kids:

This t-shirt is shockingly nice:

Cool sneakers. Now when one of the moms compliments them and asks where I got them, I can smugly say "1972. Good luck finding another pair."

They had a few pairs of adult shoes, so I also grabbed these. Not sure, but the canvas shoes could be industrial/safety shoes. Sneakers are as soft as the day they were made.

Recent finds, continued...

Nothing available at the moment.

Moschino x Persol

Rare combo of sunglasses/case/reserve lenses all together:

This may have been a promotional thing, but the leather is so nice and it was cheap.

One mint, one pretty beat up:

Not much after shave left in this bottle of discontinued Life Essence, but it's nice!

Nearly full 125ml bottle of the original 1994 edition by Euroitalia:

Another discontinued after shave:

I can't even recall the last time I found decent vintage at a thrift store. Anything "old" looking seems to get sent straight to the bins these days, and I'm just not cut out for that scene.

Sup fellas, real deal or cheap thrill?

‘Sup thrift thread...

I’m going crazy here, stuck at home in self-quarantine with a heat index of 115 and a crazy, mask-less swarm just beyond the door.

I have no thrifts. But I have some e-thrifts — not worth zillions, but enough to make me happy.

I grabbed this one the second the alert hit my phone: the rare mint discman that works. My old one’s in storage, and there’s just something about it that’s comforting. This is a great early model. The thing’s a tank: metal body, metal parts, made in Japan. On the racks in December ‘87. It’s hard to believe if you’ve only listened to discmans past like 1990, but this has the best sound out of anything I’ve owned. I’ll never forget my friend’s face when he put on my headphones and listened to a CD (The Cure’s Disintegration) for the first time. Great stuff. E-thrift!

$25, mint and working.

These should look cool on the dresser.

$15 for the 13 Reasons Why Walkman, suddenly in demand because of the show. Im going to use it to try and learn how to clean one up, maybe give it to a student who watches Netflix.

$5 for a taste of what I was missing? I’ll take it...
