The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

I tossed in a pic of the Kuhlman jacket while I was at it.

What size would that be?

What size would that be?

42 R and fits me like a glove. Sorry Spoo. I do live in the land of Kuhlman, so any in a 38 that I come across will have your name on them.

. I still need to take pics of some of the stuff I find i know you guys would love. I see a Brioni label and think " SF guy stuff right here" Almost every day.

Wow! I see a Brioni label once every 4-5 months if I'm lucky. I thrifted once in San Diego a couple years ago and had no luck at all except for one specific Amvets store. I didn't really find anything but it had signs that good stuff rolled through there.

It's a nice sweater, but I just don't see the hype of a giant teddy bear wearing a suit on

I think the appeal of these sweaters (and all of the other Ralph Lauren apparel circa the 80s and 90s that Lo Heads salivate over) is not so much the clothes themselves, but the feelings of nostalgia they elicit. It's as if when you put that sweater on, you're transported back to the first time you listened to Illmatic or something.

Of course, there are also guys out there that are really, really, really, really serious about RL to the point of religion like the Lo Lifes:

There's some NSFW language in that video, but it's an interesting look into the type of following RL generated.

Found an awesome bag today:

Is that a bag or a trunk? I dig it, but I can't see someone actually hauling that around.

Man I actually used to have some of that Polo RL stuff back in the late '80's early 90's. It was all I wore in college.

I don't know about you guys, but Im going to be looking up and down for that "King" silk shirt.

Polo brand is a collectible like coca cola. Imagine how many articles of clothing and accessories have polo logos slapped on them. I dont think I will ever see quite everything Polo is capable of.

Woah, that looks almost identical to the one I picked up recently!:

I went to an estate sale today and found this Oxxford( 43 Tall)

They do. Go to any courthouse and you will see lawyers carrying them- they call it a "trial bag."
They are used to haul around files.
That one looks like it belonged to a government bureaucrat

For something a bit different today I went to a clearance sale run by a charity, rather than an op shop. Did surprisingly well.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

$50 the lot.

Jesus, that's the understatement of the year....

That's honestly a bit much for most lawyers. Your typical attache is more than adequate for court dates, in my humble estimation.
