Santoni, I'd pass, fairly fugly

Even if to wear and not resell? Curious because they look fairly traditional.

They've had a partial re-sole done which is something to watch out for.

I left them btw. Im new to thrifting shoes honestly and haven’t had much luck finding quality yet. How did you identify that if I may ask? Id like to avoid costly mistakes especially since loafers are a tough fit anyways.
Perhaps the top 3-5 things to look for in a quality thrift dress shoe or loafer?

Well, that is usually a decent brand to buy for the fatte a mano range but condition and desirability plays a big part. There is almost always someone watching these threads if you need an answer relatively quickly. Other than that I hate to say it but reading through this and other threads is key. Little way around putting the time in. Even now most of us ask questions after years of doing this as some specialize more in certain areas.
My overall advice is better to miss on a few when your first starting than to spend too much too soon. Some thrifts allow returns as well if that is an option. If you are mainly thriving for personal then you don't need to worry too much about resale.
Not all of us do this for a living. I just enjoy it and only tend to buy very high level stuff in very good condition as I sell through a reseller mostly (spoopoker) and mainly to help pay for my hobby. CM resales are not what they were ten years ago.

Wait, is this a shirt promoting a soundtrack or is this a real concert lineup?

been on a bit of a roll with housewares the last few months. snagged this last week at savers, Breville BTM800XL tea maker. $8.40 after the geezer discount. made a very nice mint green tea to make sure it works.

who knew people took their toast so seriously (except for jim nantz). a $350 toaster? yep, Revolution Cooking R180 programmable toaster. NWOB, made a slice of toast to try it out, now i don't want to flip it seriously, this blew my mind. toast came out exactly like the picture i chose, was ready super fast, and the sides of the toaster never heated up. if i had the counter space for it i would keep it, but its a battle for space as it is, so will make do with my toaster oven for the 4 pieces of toast i make every year.

^ lol me too, the few times that film has been on somewhere. Though i like Woody Harrelson as an actor, even if he is crazy as a human being.

 

[the2ndhandman]

some decent Allen's

Not sure if this is the real deal. But was a 10 spot.
been looking for whitehouse just to check the box underground by nike
Very soft leather jacket almost thought seraphin when I picked it up. Was sure it was at least italian and it was but the maker surprised me. Any guesses?

Finally got around to taking photos of this vicuna coat from a few months back.
From a bespoke Japanese maker as far as I can surmise.
