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

[Fueco]

I found the G-Spot, not once, but six times!

Same shop:

On the way out the door, I came across the G-Spot again. These were the best of the lot (#400 Hemp Superlight).

Guess I have to be the one to tell em?

Not the sexiest ties, but couldn't say no for £1 each.

The Charvet, Canali and Budd are fine but the rest are fugazzi mate.

Spent hours waiting in lines of thrifts just to get inside and find nothing. We’re back baby!

 

[Fueco]

Skate dudes. Worth $7?

Something different.

I may just pick it up at thrift price, simply because of the long cord that my old iron does not have. Seems better than my old Walmart special.

What's the biggest way to identify fugazzi Zegna, Armani, etc - ties?

Just because your lady friend hasn’t had the experience doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist…

What's the biggest way to identify fugazzi Zegna, Armani, etc - ties?

A lot of the fakes will have a content tag on the back of the tip with a bunch of Chinese characters on it. Also, the fake Zegnas have a pixellated look to the tags and the real Giorgio Armani black label ties have a smaller label and a different font (and don't say Made in Italy on them).

After you've thrifted for a while you'll get used to the look and feel of the legit ones and the fakes will stand out more.

One other decent find before I hit a brewery to watch the Netherlands vs Ukraine match and read for a bit. La Sportiva Miuras in used-a-few-times condition.

Recent finds...

Nothing available at the moment.

Really love the Vans.

My boys have really started to get into seeing what I buy. We're at the point that they ask that I bring it home so they can see it before dropping it off at my office. My three year old loves getting Paw Patrol t-shirts and really doesn't care if it's a duplicate of what he has. My eldest recently told me he likes shirts with collars and buttons, specifically if I can find any with more with "the big horses."

Not terribly familiar with Champion tags, any way this can be dated?

Totally destroyed lining and I think I saved them from going to the garbage.

Slumming it a bit with these for my own closet. The polo is a great jersey knit. The polo sweater is thin wool in a great color.

Not sure on the Burberry, no internal tags. Any ideas?

@HansderHund I am in no way a football fan, but that Bayern Munchen top is so clever I could see wearing it. Loving some of your other finds too. What brand are the shoes and the chukka boots?

Sorry, I missed this! That Bayern München Janker is from 2013-14 and I really like it as well! The shoes are Lendvay & Schwarcz from their "exclusive" line. The chukkas are from Lederer who have shoes made in Eastern Europe and Italy.

Recent finds, continued...

Vintage Christian Dior:

Not sure about these Oakley sunglasses. Anyone know the model? They look like the eye jacket but have no icons on the temples. Possibly fake.

This looks older, but odd label/box and bottle shape.

Came across a basket of miniatures, assuming someone's collection. I picked out some that I like and some that are discontinued.

Front row L to R: Chanel Egoiste, Chanel Egoiste Platinum, Davidoff Good Life (second I've found this year), Davidoff Relax

Fendi Uomo, Givenchy Xeryus Rouge, Hugo Boss Elements Aqua

Essenza di Zegna, Cartier Declaration, Eau de Cartier, Must de Cartier Pour Homme

Vintage Christian Dior Eau Sauvage, Hermès Rocabar
