Gamey golf, belvedere python, Bragano croc, BB saddle leather MiUSA

Jose Real wholecuts in my size, minty Bragano Bologna with dust bags, Pliner fodder, Peter Millar.

Spoiler: FABRIC CLOSE-UP

Clockwise: Polo flannel, Rag & Bone triple patch cotton, Armani mainline tux, two Peter Elliot bespoke SCs (love those orange elbow patches!), very old Brioni HT suit ("oh, its dollar day, but I'll have to charge you $1 each for the jacket AND the pants"), Brioni black blazer with logo buttons.

Orvis women's reversible, Sanyo car coat with liner, minty Golden Bear all leather, Duluth Trading field jacket.

Oh, and remember a couple weeks ago when I pulled a men's alpaca Sulka duffle out of the women's section? Well, that'll never happen again, I thought. But damn, dropped in again yesterday and did it again. Same store, same section, and I dare say, same donor:

Went to what was listed as an estate sale today. Actually a warehouse with some clothes and industrial stuff. Guy used to thrift and flip clothes on eBay. Fun to talk for a bit. He did have some nice ties. Paid 50 for the lot and some of these are keepers including the polka dot Pancaldi which is the most toned down one I have seen and the 7 fold dunhill.

Same alpaca?

Same alpaca?

Yep. I just about fell over. Twilight Zone moment.

really awesome vintage suit find... I have a vintage late 50's early 60's HSM green tartan blazer that I love. It melts the minds of hipsters and tech guys

 

[goatamous]

The second coming of the Sulka find is absolutely bonkers
I agree with @Backhand - I kinda love that HSM

Hoping there’s book experts out there to help as this is way outside my comfort zone. Picked this up for PPU $25 today, not sure how to determine if it’s the one that sells for $1700 or $300. It’s a keeper but really just curious. Looks like a first edition 1982 to me but I don’t know **** about books. All the text is German.

Thoughts on this Nautica?

That's incredible @Sartoriamo. Great haul topped off by the deja vu. I've had a good amount of "lightning struck twice" experiences in my thrifting career by now, and they never fail to blow my mind. Months later, pieces/brands that I haven't found before or after, magically show up at the same store again. It's pretty eerie how esoteric the pieces are when considering the fact that I've found them at the same place. Of course, I can't remember any of them now, but it's happened. I swear.

Good haul today

Kids slept on the Astro Boy lol. So funny seeing them pass it

On the well-known principle of "no v-cleat left behind", I grabbed these Florsheim Imperial 93631 Golden Harvest Longwings without examining closely, especially as they are pre-1973 v-cleats. Took a look at them today, and damn: someone has spray-painted them with leather color. @capnwes tells me it's straightforward enough to remove it, and restore the leather, but to me, this makes them more trouble than they're worth for a flip. So therefore, if anyone is a size 8.5 B, and would like to have these shoes as a project, I would be happy to send them along . . . PM if interested.
