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

[Purplelabel]

Nice haul! The Zegna Trofeo would have retailed for at least $1,600.

I would’ve left pretty much everything on the racks.

Please don't encourage him.i think the phrase blind leading the blind would apply here.
Don't mean to be harsh but all that should have been left.you can do much better ,unless you really love the stuff then of course my opinion doesn't matter .but you should not buy anything for a few weeks while you go back an read the thread 2.0 and pick up some pointers and save a LOT of money for future buys.
Just my two cents .

Some dude dumped off some Gustin shirt's. For three bucks each they're looking tempting.

If they’re Large, I’ll double your money.

XL and I will triple it


No idea what happened here, got sent back to an old thread and thought it was current. Safely ignore this post

You guys are hard core. If you're passing up recentish BB and brown label Canali suits for $12/ea, grab them for me, please. I'm not coming on here bragging about them, but I'm definitely not leaving them.

But he is bragging.
And I actually did just that for some one here for a while .

And just to be clear ,if he likes this stuff that's all that matters .
BUT...how many of us did this is exact same thing when we started .

Notables as of late. Pop on Dior Homme, was the first thing I bought this year, true thrift, $10. Items are a mix of true thrift and underpriced consignment. PPU for everything pictured was $11.60. Everything but the LVC are already in my current rotation and NA.

On a related note I’m going to be sending a box or two to one of our friendly neighborhood consigners and was wondering what’s the best practice for packing items like ties and canvassed suits. Things that don’t regularly get folded. I don’t want to send a box two states away and have the items arrive looking like they do when John gets them in Guatemala.

Then probably better to tell him it's not brag worthy. There are a lot of people here that would gladly take all that stuff for $50. I also realized the original post is about a month old so it doesn't really matter.

Two finds from today. Coolest piece I’ve found in awhile and comps look promising, which is nice.



Anyone (Fueco) know what model this is? Tags have been removed besides windstopper.

Some daily fodder

Favorite is the Dickies sweatshirt. Good staple addition

Thanks! Your thread is pretty inspiring.

I want to move some stuff out and replace new finds with the deck I’ve always wanted, a Vision Gator from the mid-80s. (You might remember the spiral; it came in a million different colorways, and cool older kids always seemed to have one). They’re making repros now, ones you can actually ride (and trick out with vintage hardware).

Re: t-shirts....

All will be revealed!

Scrolling through the threads while waiting for new bins to come out and think to myself “That design is dope.” Bins come rolling out and....
