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

[pnin22]

It is shell, the white spots on the left vamp are typical

How do i get the white spots out of shell? Brushing, moisturizing or wiping with water didn't do much. My next go-to is a light vinegar solution...

I would try with a bit of Renovateur, which is a mild cleaner and a moisturizer, but the vinegar could work maybe.

Smathers & Branson belt. Already sold.

Akris linen

For me: BB MiUSA slim fit OCBD

Cheers, thriftbros!

Thrifted book and pint glass with an excellent beer (Epic Brewing Escape To Colorado IPA).

That book is in my queue, I had a friend recommend it and said he cried like a baby. That is probably why I keep delaying it, although my oldest is starting his freshman year at college this week so I should probably just get it over with...

Any Star Wars guys out there? Out in the field so help needed.

Made in Korea so kind of vintage? Black leather.

Thanks, AHS

Um, just tire kicking.... but what size is that?

Part 2

Filson. XL. Filson website was no help and interior tags are worn so I can't make out what model this is. Someone here know?

Willis & Geiger G-8 x 2. One fits really well but I’m not a leather jacket guy.

Lastly, thrift funded from the Ben Silver Warehouse sale. Drake's wool/silk square for under $15 and La Portegna suede travel slippers for $25? Sure.

This, though. THIS! This is a grail level jacket for me. I've been obsessed with Chrysalis for years but I'm not willing to spend $1000+ on outerwear. When I saw this debut on the BS website a year or two ago I knew I had to have it. I loved the pattern and the details are a little more polished than a lot of Chrysalis's jackets, but again the price was too much so I crossed my fingers and hoped it would eventually be on sale. Cut to a few weeks ago and I noticed it was pulled from the BS site a few days before the warehouse sale, an indicator an item will be included in the sale. Low and behold it was and at 50% off. Going to get a lot of wear for many falls and winters.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Perhaps play a little game called “just the tip”. Just for a second, just to see how it feels.

It’s the Meisterstuck ballpoint.

Weigh.

Party on Wayne.

Could you post pictures of the butt again? Try to get better focus. As clear of a picture as you can of the MEISTERSTUCK - MONT BLANC. Try to shine light off the inside of the clip arm, see if you can read "pix." Another common test is to take the body apart, hold the black body up to sun light and see if there's a redish hue that comes through.

Tweed jacket is effing PIMP

@kbagdley my rebuttal

 

[ATLjon]

Any ideas on the maker of this jacket? The Italy tag is the only tag, unfortunately. I know who made the ties ...

 

[Letric]

That "Made in Italy" tag looks like ones I've seen in Facconnable jackets, which used to be made by Cantarelli. Other than that I would guess like Paul Smith or something.
