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

Crombie just wrote back asking for any numbers. I found a 'Made in USA #' ???? Tag says Scotland, how can it be made in the USA????

Crombie cloth used by an American tailor

@Fueco is this anything? Seemed cool for $8, but I know very little about this vintage Mountaineering stuff other than Rocky Mountain Featherbed and Marty McFly vests.

I want that jacket solely because of the dad joke on the tag


(not really re: wanting it, but i giggled more than i should have)

Absolutely. Banana Equipment was the first outdoors company to use Goretex, IIRC. I sold a similar jacket for ~$90 a while back.

I meant that the inner lining only exists on the front part of the blazer, which makes it cool. I guess that it "half-lined"? The lady at Brioni also made fun of me for saying that.

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, canvassing is something different, and much more mysterious. Google will tell you how to do certain pinch tests. I used to try, but have given up.

Got it!

Thanks @Fueco .

This prompted me to search nike sold listings by highest price on ebay.

Man, the hype thing is so confusing to me... This LeBron or KD or Kawai shoe is worth $4000... But this one is worth $30. WTF?

It's truly all about "Hype". People will certain things to have value based on esoteric criteria.

But, wow... If you know what to look for, you could make much more money than many classic menswear pieces... Or at least until the collective decides the thing that was cool, is no longer cool anymore.

For me, I'd still rather have a pair of Florsheim shell V cleats than some air max ones. ;-)

I found both, The Air Max find was definitely better for me .

GTA guys heads up.

Dropped off multiple zileri blazers nwt and incotex nwt at Ajax VV.

This was on Monday. I'm pretty sure they don't move stuff between stores. If you're in the area you might luck out.

what’s the record for oldest item posted here? got an appraisal back on the nightmare mirror, and turns out it’s likely late 17th century. gonna hang it, I think it’s amazing.

I seem to recall that @barrelntrigger once posted an ancient Japanese vase or something like that. I don’t remember how old it was.
