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

Would have been a nice find...

Sigh.

I usually never pick up LL Bean, but couldn't let this one go.

I just picked up that exact ll bean a couple weeks ago, was cold enough to wear this week in Texas!

I got that exact sweater from someone on this thread several years ago. It is the perfect sweater for fall, foul weather golf; which I used it for on Tuesday.

You left it for that?!

Some people really don't care about a few holes, myself included. It may not have fetched a great price online, but it's still a great garment, and could be fixed for $10 or so.

Of course, if it was way too out-sized for you, that's different.

Went back to the same spot I found the stack of suits and shoes, and I think I finally found a Spoo level haul of Ralph ties. Most are new, lots still have tagsAre the gray and mustardy ones grenadine? This was two nice stops.

@Nobilis Animus Aren't reweaving costs upwards of $200 for situations like that?

 

[dad2bandm]

It would have been a "flip" for me, so not worth it.

 

[dad2bandm]

This one was my size, and not full of holes, so grabbed it. Haven't picked up Graham in ages.

Maybe I've just been incredibly lucky, but it has never cost me that much for knitwear. Those holes look relatively small, so as long as it doesn't need to be a perfect reweave it should be less (maybe not exactly $10 though).

I'm also not one to throw things out with a little wear, however, although I am careful to prevent moth holes.

 

[MrUsedThreads]

Need some help here guys

I was able to find a GEM but without any tags pointing me in the right direction I can't make up my mind---do you think this is REAL crocodile skin? Trying to err on the side of caution and make sure it's not embossed.

 

[rokor]

@MrUsedThreads Can you provide more info? Some shots indicated embossed but the majority of it looks right.
EDIT: If real Brioni, you've got yourself a nice find. I don't think they've put out embossed gear in a minute.

Those Gucci's from the other day


Hogan



These were a surprise when I looked up what they are. I was buying them simply because I wanted a new pair of NB's and these are DS.

 

[impuntura]

Run a magic eraser along the whites of those guccis and thank me later .

 

[rokor]

Please let me know if those NBs are an 11-12...

Good call, thanks
I gave them a wipe down with a Lysol wipe, but clearly it needs a bit more. I'll try the eraser

Please let me know if those NBs are an 11-12...
