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

[mco543]

It isn’t a David Hockney, but a signed hors de commerce /11 print of “Village at Dusk” by Mayer William Schlesinger for $3.99 is pretty solid.

True story,I was in Cancun for a wedding in January and my nickname among the bartender's was "Peeeeetbuuuuull".
I don't see it,I think I'm way more handsome lol.

Mr. Worldwide Eh?

Speaking of art, anyone recognize this scribbling? Or the work itself? Picked up one that is “summer” and one that is “spring” in a series of 225 each.

Pt 2
This is the A Giant that doesn't have a hoodie. Also, I think, a pop! Maybe n/a, cause it fits:

Susu w/cutaway collar, NOS Tommy and Ca$h, ~$4 each:

I don't usually pick up A. Collezioni, but this was qtr lined and linen/cotton with an open weave. the Armani was $4 and the Brooks was $14 or $17. The Brooks had an extra bonus (see below):

Storytime! This doesn't approximate Spoomeister's gold button story (I think the Capn's, too), but maybe I'm getting close. This was on the lapel of the Brooks. Didn't think nothing of it till I got home. Saw that it said 10carat They do go for $50-75 on the bay:

Do all the All birds have this cock eye look?, $11:

Has a heavy-ass old skool seat belt buckle thing. $5:

Still very slow here in big D, but hints that coats and sweaters will be out soon. Picked up this beauty for personal. Had to pay up a bit as this thrift pulls out it’s nicer ties and charges $25 each. Generally only worth it for keepers. Great texture on this cashmere wool silk tie.

Almost left empty handed, @330CK hooked it up with some Burb brits, wife decided to check the women’s pants before we left and yea we found some stuff

 

[Fueco]

Some stuff from today's rambles around the metro area...

Billy Reid Leather jacket

My sentimental favorite is this Ibex Hunters Point Sweater from the clearance rack at Sierra (formerly Sierra Trading Post). I might keep it...

One of the nicer skeets I've found recently.

And since someone else (@Shiny ) posted AG...

 

[MooToo]

I found gold buttons once. Have kept them and since then gold is up about 25%.

So @Fueco you'd know more than anyone. Is Ibex still actively selling and operating? I heard somewhere that they went belly up a while back.

Just looked at their site and it says "Ibex will return in Fall 2019".

I love their items' quality and fit, and from a resale standpoint they move like hotcakes.

Happy belated Canadian Thanksgiving Northern Brahs. We see you.

i just had this conversation with @Nataku via text... Ibex went out of business two years ago. A new owner bought the rights and are “coming back soon”.
