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

[Zerase]

I want to know the amount of cocaine taken in that suit.

In the summer of 1974, someone walked into Gieves on Savile Row and commissioned this suit, and epitomised the whole decade in one exquisite piece of craftsmanship.

I have no idea what the antiquated outworkers made of it as they handsewed every seam and buttonhole, but the single gold button, deep plush silk velvet, flared trousers (17 inches at the hem) and geometric lining all make me very happy and looking forward to some cooler weather and a party I can wear this to…

Enough to justify it but not enough to threaten its existence

I've seen these faked .
The buckle.is supposed to be brass ,try a magnet and see if it sticks.
The fakes ones ive seen had a steel core with a thin brass layer and failed the magnet test.

Thank you!

Been e-thrifting a lot lately but all that stuff is at the tailor so here is some regular thrift finds this month.

Facconable pants are 100% linen with side adjusters for $2 was a no brainer.

Factory order number puts this pretty much unused Gibson TG-0 tenor guitar at 1960. Thanks, Facebook marketplace. Came with a nice vintage Gibson case for about half of this one, which is also a very early production run model without a serial number on the headstock: https://reverb.com/item/76834996-gibson-tg-0-1960-mahogany

Buck Mason has some pretty sweet stuff. Kind of old school crew vibes back when it was good.

A few recent finds...

For personal...

Kuhl "Team Full Zip", 100% Merino...

Pendleton Fireside Shirt

Hiroshi Kato "The Ripper" shirt. I found this exact shirt about three weeks ago...

Moleskin Seattle Shirt

Men's "Laggan Quilted Jacket", found in the wimminz...

Oooooh, so close!

SuSu Lazio. It's going to LaundryRoom, Jr, as I recently bought him his first suit (SuSu Napoli) in the same color...

Here's a handy lesson on how to determine whether your SuSu is a suit jacket, or a sport coat, so you don't have to waste time hunting for the trousers...

Look at the inner right pocket tag, and find the wording as circled below (for reasons that I don't understand, it's written in Russian).

The Russian word for "Jacket" is пиджак...That's a sport coat...

Whereas the Russian word for "Suit" is костюм. That's a suit jacket. Better hit the trousers!

And speaking of LaundryRoom, Jr.... He's off to university in two weeks. I took him down to Florida last week to spend some time with him. Here's a couple pics of him flying a plane (my brother has his pilot's license, and took us up in a Cessna, but it's my son who is actually operating it, at least for a few minutes)

Wouldn't the appearance of a drop number on both the jacket labels indicate that they are both orphans?

 

[double00]

odd jackets can have a drop . some makers will add it to the tag .

 

[bpk1]

think this may be a pop for me… sadly not my size
