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

Dude it's only may.
I actually have something but I'm still researching it.

I certainly hope so, you’re the man to do it! Unless somebody scores an Hermes Birkin or a barn-find European sports car, my brain can’t comprehend finding anything at $20k retail for only $20!

Actually it was $10

They had the set originally priced at $50 with a line through it and marked down to $20. I didn’t want the couch so they told me they’d separate it and the couch and ottoman would be $10. The pillows were $5 and the American flag throw was $5, so I did pay $20 for the chairs and those items collectively, though.

Lol, even better....0.05% of retail instead of 0.1% of retail! Incredible finds, the kind we all dream of each time we go out looking!

while we're on the topic of chesterfields, I picked this beautiful bastard up early last year and never got around to posting it. Writer's loveseat, anyone?

no tags or makers marks to be found but easily the nicest piece of leather furniture I've come across. Lovely patina but in great shape save for some staining/discoloration on one arm.

any tips for gentle cleaning/restoration?

indoor lighting sadly does not do it justice

where it's at now:

just add a tumbler of whiskey and a good book.

I buy it by the gallon.

I found a tie last year, but Pop! for me on trousers and shirts…

And another Pop!

Wait... does that shirt have both Kiton and Borrelli tags? What gives?

 

[mistermidwester]

Just thrifted a Curtis Jere piece for my wall.

Have never found Tom Ford tailored items before, can anyone confirm if this is real? It doesn’t have the classic hexagonish “Tom Ford” inside nor any additional labels inside beside what the images show.

It generally feels pretty well made, but again I’m not familiar with Tom Ford quality and sourcing. Read in another thread that they sometimes put “Made in China” for salesman uniforms, is it possibly that? Sleeves are unfinished which strikes me as odd if it is fake. Pretty cheap, should I take a chance?

From what I know, the polyester and wool blend is a cheap fabric.

I read somewhere that LG makes stuff for other companies. Maybe this is one?

This. I use it on everything from boots and shoes, leather jackets and I used it on the chair as well.

Can anybody translate ,google ain't helping.

 

[WoolyLamb]

Double pop for me. Catch and release on the nice pattern tweeds and tie. I also did not realize it until I got home but they are shell!

 

[Fueco]

Three Kurt Kinetic bike trainers (one is a Rock & Roll, so guess who’s getting an upgrade!).

And a three piece Briggs & Riley luggage set for $18?
