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

[eddiegreen]

Nice work. It's on the inside anyways so nbd

Oh I didn’t do it myself, I used a stereotypical old timer with half moon glasses.
If I was going to keep for myself, I would have patched over the holes with the correct cashmere but to flip, I just wanted to keep as much of the original lining as possible.

Here’s the highlights of the past week.

I am a 10.5 so I was a little bummed to see they were a 10. Oh well. I tried them on for kicks and they fit perfectly. Come to find out, the last these were made on runs a half size big. Keepers.




I found this half full jar of Alden color 8 polish at an estate sale years ago for 50 cents. Still about half full, yesrs later. Haha. Used some on these and they cleaned up really nicely.






















This chain belt is nuts.





Thrift fit from last night.

Rising Sun duck canvas jacket (super discount)
Johnson Motors tshirt (thrift)
40’s-50’s belt (estate sale)
LVC 1954 501xx (thrift)
Red Wing Iron Rangers (discount, proxied by @Ds13 years ago)

If you haven’t yet done your research, I’m fairly confident that that is the “Taos Shirt”.

I’ve routinely sold them for $99.

Follow-up…

I'm a little jealous of people's ability to all-day hustle, it's after work hustle, and the occasional lunch hit for me.

I've been at it full-time since I got laid off from work back in 2011-ish. My wife said I should try doing the eBay thing full time (it had just been a hobby for many years) and see how it goes. Over a decade later, I'm still at it. It definitely has it's perks, but man has it gotten exponentially harder since the early days. You've really gotta know how to time things and know the tricks of the trade extremely well.

It took me exactly one hour this morning to buy everything you see on this table: 15 suits, 10 sport coats, five pants, some polos and shirts, two pairs of shoes.
I had to carry it all to my car in a big box, with a heavy bag slung over my shoulder. But it was well worth the effort, I'll say.
The color balance is off in these phone shots, but you get the idea.

The Corny corner, with a feature by Canali. All tasteful modern cuts and fabrics, but the colors are off in this shot:

PS, EZ, Corny jackets, and some polos:

Come here, Kitty, Kitty:

Caruso suit, Custom House MTM suit
LBM, Caruso in LP check fabric, Etro DB
EZ pure cashmere, EZ

3 x Susu suits:

Susu peak lapel, EZ su misura:

Susu, Santoni:

Nice filson hat.

I could not leave these gloves behind for $4.

Totally out of my wheelhouse but just so cool.
If anyone collects or wants these willing to trade or sell them cheap, just did not want to leave them.
Picked up my second bag of assorted pings.

Combined with a previous hall I now have a full set, if mismatched.
And a little change hidden in the bag for a bonus.

 

[Sartoriamo]

Live. Local auction. I’ll post the rest later. Fifty bucks for this lot.

$20 for this lot

$20 apiece for these nice Audubon prints

$40 for this

Haven’t even started into the furniture yet

Gonna be a long, fun day . . .

Sunspel Bond Polo? I love the texture of their fabric.

What’s the recommendation for a basic light to improve photos? Nothing fancy necessary just want to make them a little better for eBay. I am now relegated to the basement which has limited natural light and some harsh lamps.

you can get by with some inexpensive LED lamps as long as you get the white balance right. a white balance card will help.

Thank you sir, the white balance on the leds the contractors put in when they finished the basement is certainly not white balanced correctly!
