Can I ask what it is? Paperweight?

UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

For me it’s a mix right now. Back in Chicago when thrifting was my job I didn’t want to post pics of price tags, or even what certain items cost. I’m pretty paranoid (I guess that helped me get a job in information security?) so I never wanted to say item prices since every chain has its own pricing structure. And when you strike gold (aka my original thriftening) I was sorely tempted to post zilli and Brioni with $.98-$3.98 price tags on them. But that pricing was limited to a single chain and only an area within that chain, so why advertise your location. So when I talk about prices it’s hey like $5 per.
Everyone has their own reasons. A lot of ppl give a ppu or designate that finds are true thrift. True thrift for me my stores mean $15-$20 for suits, $7-$10 for sport coats, $3 ties and $5-$8 everything else. The really ridiculous finds usually has price defined since that’s a big part of the excitement. Do ppl post things under the pretense that it’s thrifted when it’s really an online purchase at an attractive price or priced up consignment piece? Probably. But if you stick around long enough you usually get a feel of who those ppl are and at the end of the day no harm no foul.
If you’re just trying to ask do ppl really find things that retailed for 5 figures in a thrift store for $10 the answer is yes.
Is it the same dude I told you about?Any of you ever get the vibe a certain thrift employee just doesn't like you and he will not bring out any new items as long as you are there? I literally see the new rack of items ready to go through the doors but he also knows I'm waiting to check them out and I feel like we are in a stand off right now.

Shhhhh... If you happen to be an XL and a fan of both Kiton and Ray Liotta, PM me. Locals only.
Yep. Unfortunately I had to get home last night and lost. I assume the loro filled racks came out right after.Is it the same dude I told you about?
Depends on the cut/fabric/etc. One of my favorite SC's is a BB 1818 Fitz I picked up a few years ago. For the flip, same rules apply and pick up if priced to move.Question: is Brooks Brothers 1818 always a pop for you guys? Seems like a see enough of it, but I'm not always inclined to pick it up.
I want to ask him his schedule so I know not to go there on the days he's working lol. Will check tomorrow againYep. Unfortunately I had to get home last night and lost. I assume the loro filled racks came out right after.
Tks.
Nope..just asking as the last few pages have really shown some great stuff. Some list prices, some don't. I was just curious.
