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

Anyone catch The Assassination of Gianni Versace? I saw it when it originally aired but its on Netflix now. I thought it was very well done and very entertaining!

I really enjoyed the scenes involving Gianni Versace, his explanation about how flamboyant his colors are has left a lasting impression on me, in case anyone reading just wants the gist of, Gianni Versace was deathly ill, recovered, and his line got louder, and in an interview he was asked about it, his response was something like "we make clothes to celebrate the beauty of life, if you don't like it, that's fine, but you cannot ask us to love life any less." **** yeah, Gianni, **** yeah. I know I got the quote wrong, but that was my personal take away. And the show was very well done.

Show was meh .wardrobe was amazing.
Dude playing the assassin was insanely good though .rarely that happens where actors are great but the show was just so so for me..
What blew my mind was the guy playing Gianni was an assassin in the first Bourne.

If it was me, I'd be upset that my purchases are being shared. Cool suit tho

Yeah, the casting was just perfect. Dude looked just like Gianni

I thought the show was well made and well cast but I couldn't get over how annoying I found the Andrew character. He's supposed to be charming until he turns sociopathic and I never got the likeable bit.

Ok yeah, thanks for the hospitality, London. Though I did pick up some underpriced Loro Piana chinos.

It’s been too long old friend. Nice little one stop, ppu $6 after asking nicely for a discount

 

[flipstah]

You can try an oxi clean soak to see if that will help

What do you need to decipher on the tag?
It's a 40S, if that's what you're asking

Thanks for the help, friend!

Also has been a really long time since I thrifted anything for myself. Second stop ended that drought. NWOB (or very close to) air max 97 premium cargo green from 2017 and ludlow moon tweed donegal trousers

 

[goatamous]

Both unwashed, and possibly BNWOT (fading on APC is due to my phone)
Not bad for a quick lunchtime stop

Thanks the good **** right

Surprised me to turn it over and see the PRL label. The silk is really fine quality and I was expecting a much higher end brand.

So I am spending time learning more about clothes and what is worth bragging about and what's not. I now green label RL is nothing to brag about. I found an old SF post that went through the history of RL.
So today I was out looking and I cam across a couple of suits, I never purchased either as they were too small for me.
Here is one suit label, was it a mistake to leave it behind even if it didn't fit me?

Recent but not worth much (unless you like it and it fits).
