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

[Nataku]

Yep. No dice.

Not groundbreaking by any means but since I almost never find everyday shoes in my size I’m pretty happy with these, pretty minty

also pop on goldengooseiob sock boots. Thread first?

I can't figure out why current Zegna shirts are so hard to sell. Great fabrics, styles and colors/patterns. Good quality and high retail. Passed on a really nice current label blue plaid Zegna shirt the other day. I recalled the last one I had purchased I ended up redonating .

Pretty happy about finding this guy today. Missing a snap end, but I figure it may be repairable and still has a zipper so I can just rock it as-is if it comes down to it. I tried emailing them about getting a replacement snap end. Hopefully something will come of that.

The length on this jacket is good, right? I'm heading to the tailor tomorrow to get the sleeves finished, and I don't want to sink more money into a jacket that doesn't work.

Went back to the store where I grabbed the Patagonia Coat to see if the liner might have hit the shelves
No luck there, so I had to settle for these 4 suits instead


I actually found 5 but the fifth had moth holes
I also drove myself nuts because I found a Brioni pinstripe orphan, so I scoured the store looking for the pants
Got the manager and another associate to help me look as well. I gave up, went to pay and while at the cash heard "sir, guess what!"
Associate came with the pants....which had a bunch of moth holes and damage. Dems the breaks

I pictured your foot different in my mind's eye.

Are you in NYC? I remember seeing this pair with the same broken strap on one shoe.

Haha they're the same pair, from the shop by Union Square. I passed on them once and they were still there a few days later, One of the cashiers I talked to regularly threw me the damaged discount so I couldn't pass on them again.
Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Curious about this too, came across one today in a relatively high end consignment shop. Same Slightly large tag, same logo on the tail, no style number. Overall seemed / felt great. Thicker/beefier than the usual Hermes tie. First glance assumed it was fake and walked off, but given the rest of the inventory of the store (Cucinelli, Loro, Etc) I cant imagine how.

TJX is random but snagged these J. Crew items marked at $20 each at a local Marshall's.

From what I've read, they heavy twill or scarf fabric ties have that label and the H's on the tipping. I double-checked all the characteristics and everything is there, like the hanging tension loop under the folds. I was skeptical, and maybe I am wrong... If anyone has any insight I'd love to hear it.

EDIT: I found this one on eBay with the same style number in a different color. I'm leaning towards legit.
