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

[Daniel Hakimi]

In Manhattan, every single time without fail, when I ask to buy a hanger they give it to me for free. I've walked out of stores with 3 hangers after not buying anything.
Everywhere else I get the "can I buy your baby" response.

It's never worked, except for when I asked for extra hangers at Alton Lane, they helped me out there.

Can anyone help with a legit check?

Is that a trench? Typically the label is perfectly centered in the tartan pattern. It looks like maybe there was an alteration? The other tags are fine.

Yes it’s a trench. Im almost positive It was altered because I’m usually a 38-40 short and this was tagged 40L but fit me well

Anyone know what I’ve gone and bought now? I’ve no idea

Maybe some Empire/Deco stule accessories from the 30s?

Yeh, I think deco, I wondered if they have a specific purpose and name or if they’re just vases/decorative

Funeral home?

Griffin Studio

No side Seams, just straps. Had never heard of brand from Portobello Rd but it’s well made in Italy.

Funeral home?

Yes! That was my first thought, something to do with funerals but then I thought it’d be pretty weird as a clear urn for ashes

NOT Pictured is 3 NWT Brooks Brothers ties (for $1.50 each) for personal use and a pair of VERY nice Hickey Freeman dress pants in my size also for personal use -- nothing too exciting, but its nice to find stuff I can use.

Anyone need a pair of Allen Edmonds Grayson in really good shape? 9.5D (black calf) I didn't buy them for $30. That's too much for me to flip. But, could be decent for personal use.




Also, there was another interesting pair. NOT in such lightly worn condition. Cool design. BUT, bad size 10.5A. $15

Made by the same company WMF,
nicer than my ones but not a pair!
