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

[div25sec9]

New city today, and Big E popping

@div25sec9 it's okay I was only here for two hours and found this. I wish I had more time.

It was a potential honeypot where vagrants be lively.

Nice find! I'm glad it was a SF brother finding it, not some competition

Your clue doesn't help much, half of the thrifts here are in vagrant hot-spots!

Question for the experts. I am working on a shoe trade with another SF member. I think that all EG and Gaziano shoes are English sizing unless they are rebranded for someone like RLPL. If rebranded then I believe all RL and paul stuart are in US sizing. Hoping someone can confirm this or let me know if there is an easy way to tell the difference. Appreciate any help.

I dont know about RLPL, but the Stuart's Choice by EG, G&G and C&J were UK sizing if I recall correctly.

.... Anti-thrift.

Got ******* car prowled this weekend. Took about three minutes. Was loading my car at 5:30 AM (safe-ass neighborhood), walked to yard to grab more stuff, came back, fucked.

Lost tons of stuff, (utter ******* disaster) but the ones most relevant here are a vintage Belstaff Tourmaster Trophy, and a 1985 all-chestnut-leather Ghurka Express.

If you find a size tiny (34/36) Belstaff Tourmaster Trophy (like a longer trialmaster + quilted shoulders and elbows + zip pocket on shoulder, reflective backing to belt) within 500 miles of Seattle, odds are it's mine. I'd be genuinely surprised if more than two dozen existed on the west coast of the US.

The Ghurka Express has the serial number G620. If anyone runs across it on the various secondhand venues, I'd *love* to meet the seller... Preferrably with a metal pipe.



Thank **** for insurance. I don't know if I'll *ever* find another Belstaff like that one though

a few of my favorite finds from the last week or so


first the stuff that fits the usual scope of the thread, rlpl linen and funny hermes

exceptionally rare cd, only a couple copies available online

not *exactly* thrifty but the seller didn’t know these were Trianon for Sulka, so I still think I got a pretty good deal

Giulia Mangani for Oggetti

Bruno Rey Chairs x4

fascinating article for anyone interested about Stendig, who you can thank for introducing America to the coolest European design: https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/charles-stendig/

and a sweet pair of McGuire chairs, woven with rawhide leather on a rattan frame

****** man, really sorry. That's gotta be a terrible feeling. Hoping at least one of the pieces eventually turns up.

Man, that is horrible. I hope the items turn up and the perpetrator faces some justice; metal pipe or otherwise.
