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

Nope. That’s not Z Zegna that’s mainline from like the last 6 months to a year. They dropped the Ermenegildo like Ferragamo dropped Salvatore. Insanely recent find with a much higher RRP than zegna 3 years ago.

Zegna Aims to Open 50 Tom Ford Retail Stores, Double Group Margins

At an investor day in New York, the Italian luxury group laid out plans for newly acquired Tom Ford, as well as Thom Browne and its namesake Zegna label.

Interesting read for more detail. Newer stuff seems to be a lot more focused on casualwear.

Appreciate the info! Exactly what I wanted to hear haha

Yea they definitely are. Recently opened up su misura to make tons of random casual stuff like t-shirts I believe. Personally have mixed feeling about the direction they’re heading. I love the triple stitch sneakers and have found the newer stuff to have more hand finishing details and nicer materials etc, but the price increases are crazy. The most recent nyc sample sale went to 90% off but I doubt we’ll see that again

Found some good stuff today.

More recent Oxxford

Did not expect to see this label on this shirt.

Nah bruv this isn't funny do you rob Isaia? I don't understand how one man can pull the same brand over and over.

Good day for me. Mostly a one stop.

Really low button stance creates a great 80s look on this polo, nice pic stitching, but a little too much shoulder padding

This is a nice jacket 70/30 silk/linen.

I usually pass on BR but…

Both Polo and BR are my size. Everything else is available.

Geeez i hope this magic dust rubs off on me for the next trip out. Bonkers nice patterns and colors. I especially like that grey check susu. My next grey SC will be something like that or a POW pattern.

One of my favorite thrifted ties in a long time. $6 and ribbed for her pleasure.

The thrifts have overall been a snoozefest the last couple of months but here's some highlights for personal.



I've probably passed 100+ suitsupply jackets but loves the pattern and fabric here. Super light.

Been really into super plush cords. This fits the bill.

Loved the hat soon as I saw the pattern. Maker is a nice bonus


Not sure if rare but I like it.


Tbh I like the drake's so much more.


Drake's truly had some bangers when it comes to accessories. What a color combo.

So I never knew that there was a following for Lava Lamps. Unlike...basically everyone I know, I never had one in college so I have picked up a few lately (I'm up to 6 now) and all but 1 are Lava Lamp branded.
I saw a cool looking odd one over the summer that was a larger than the normal 14" and I thought was the same size as the two 16.3 inchers that I have but upon comparison it was actually shorter but wider. The base was made of brass or some brassy-like material with pinholes so it has additional shine when turned on.

It is from the 70s and is either called a Century, a Starlite, or a Starlite Century. I did a little search on that auction site and turns out it is a desireable model. Who would have guessed?

This looks more to be an outlier in pricing as they have been selling for $150 - $220. Pretty good for a $12.99 purchase

Yes please

Popped in on my way out of town for the weekend in time for the last men’s rack of the day. Didn’t disappoint.

@Nataku - gorgeous Oxxfords!
@sushijerk - sick Polo Sport hat, love it!
@vandelay74 - welcome, great posts!

This is an interesting one:

This fleece was completely de-branded.

I know that fleece color and pattern... The sleeve end construction..

Lack of chest logo here and also 2 zipper pull tabs have been replaced/added.

Inner collar label is gone, but that grosgrain loop is there. And the bastard even cut out the inner material label..

Why do people do this? I mean I know there's things like Burning Man where there's supposed to be no brands, money or capitalism (sounds like a living hell) but why do this with a Patty? Why not get a friggin LL Bean it's the same exact Polartec fabric. People lol.

Will go to efforts to make this thing whole again. Off with the random pull tabs and I'll snag the labels off the next Patty fleece I find with low margins. Re-branding begins!

@Nataku nice suiting finds!

Any 40/42?!
