I've probably said this before, but in my little town, the grocery store, the Goodwill, the furniture consignment store, and the in-store Starbucks are all in the same small, square plaza, a few hundred feet apart. The GW is very small (probably 1/4-1/8 of the normal big city store), so I am in there almost every day for a quick 5-minute walkthrough of the key areas. I almost never come out with a cartload, but I get an item or few every second or third visit. If I could kop these couple of items every day I'd be in good shape. So today . . .

90s Doc Marten brogues, worn once? Or maybe only indoors. Soles look new.

Great heft, construction and color from this Hilfiger. I know Hilfiger prices are all over the place, so I normally avoid it, but this looked and felt strong. Ripstop nylon outside, fleece inside. I know there are experts on here when it comes to the subject, so happy for your insights. The right stuff? Paid only a few bucks, so no worries either way.

Not an expert but I have that same exact jacket, only in Red/Blue/Yellow colorway. Yours is cool with the Green - Kinda snow beach vibes.

When I found mine like 5 years ago I looked it up and valued around $90-150ish. Seems like Hilfiger and Nautica have dropped a decent amount. The only jackets getting near to that anymore are the more flashy logo'd ones, big puffers and the spellout sleeve types. If I went to sell mine I'd prolly expect $60-90 or less. Yours may be more with that Green.

Do you guys come across Arc’Teryx gore tex jackets often at true thrift? I feel like anytime you see someone finding Arcteryx, it’s the soft shell or Atom jackets and even down ones, but I don’t see much thrifters finding the pro gore tex shells. The heavy duty avalanche level ones.

Definitely not. I think I've found two arc gore pieces total since 2016 that were in good condition. Usually if you see a high end jacket it will have a rip or be delaminated or something that explains why someone didn't hang on to it.

I've found two in the last few years (one of which was covered by warranty so I got a free replacement)
