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

[sushijerk]

Two in front are for one of my sons; forgot to get a pic of the brand new Charvet one I gave him last week. P&S is for me.

I e-thrifted these a while back and have been seeing a lot of rain on the lenses the last week or so, which is rare in July where I live near San Francisco.

Clearly loves one son more than the other.

Depends on what sizes the thrift gods send my way. I'm an XL, one son is an L and the other is a medium. Believe me, they both get taken care of.

I think I need a black suit for an event later on this month. Yeah I know no one really needs a black suit if they have a tuxedo but my tux was bought during the early 90s and looks it. So yeah I need a black suit or tux. I'm like a 40 - 42 (I gained a lil weight but I'm still have a 33 waist, just have a lil pooch above it) and cheap

I have a notch collar Versace tux size 38 that I can trade away. I bought for my son but it's waaay too big for him so it has sat here for about 4 years. Anyone?

I have had some good finds recently and will post up some shortly, but I do have a question.

anybody by chance recognize the attached logo? Inside of purse I found. No tags, YKK zippers, Aztec-ish print with leather accents.

Thanks!

 

[Letric]

No idea but it reminds me of Dos Equis.

the mystery thickens!

Lol

No idea but it reminds me of Dos Equis.

I kept looking at it like a Y and A, or Y and V, but now I can’t unsee the XX from DE… lol. Thanks!

This thing was next to free, but looks kind of nice, so I just grabbed it with a bigger pile of stuff I had that was; Gucci, Tumi, etc. but it was really a mystery pick just based on the Aztec trend and it feels decent. Leather feels real, so it’s at least kohls and not Walmart! Ha.

I’d rather find a 42S, but this will be good for gas money anyway.

@CWOyaji thanks for reminding me, got this a few months back, got lost on my desk.

A few more furniture projects from the last little while. I stopped at a thrift today and the shelves were bare. So I'll stick with the refinishing work for now. Things are selling well.

I bought a couple of 1970s cast-aluminum warehouse lights and wired and stripped/painted them. Put in some LED bulbs and now they're footlights:

Thanks, man. I thought the thread might get a kick out of them. Appreciate all the kind words from everyone.
