The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

I found a pair of brown, triple-pleated Zanellas yesterday. About size 36, if I had to guess. Is anyone interested?

And the shirts. RLPL button down is tagged L, RLPL Polo is XL, Lacoste is size 7 (~XL):

I'd be interested in the orange polo. My college colors are orange & black and that would be nice to wear to alumni events.

if anybody would be interested in this post up and let me know and i will start making a list of items, which will take a while in and of itself.


Interested fo sho.

About time I found something worth mentioning! I thought the whole nice-donated-clothes supply dried up here. All about being at the right place at the right time, though. Saw a rack of clothes being rolled out of the back room. As I planned out my course of attack, I saw three others doing the same. I spotted this gorgeous pattern peeking out as well as bellowed pockets, so as soon as the rack stopped, I snagged it right as the three others pounced on the rack. Saw the Barbour tag and had this in my mind .

Stone mint Barbour Tweed Beaufort jacket. My size (M in Barbour). Has the throat latch too. Love it! This store is getting wise, though. Had to cough up $25 for this puppy.

Daaaaaaaaaamn that's nice. As an outwear enthusiast, I'm kind of disappointed in the lack of awesome coats like that in my thrifting experiences.

Something of a depressing day, I came across a pair of just barely worn brand new looking Alden tassels loafers – but, in size 15 narrow!

The other day I find some shirts from Lord's (tailor in Hong Kong) and I've been meaning to post them here for some clarification.

Can anyone translate this monogram for me?

Assuming there isn't some miracle where these are actually my initials, are there any suggestions as to what I should tell people curious about it's significance?

In other news:
- black Thomas Pink shirt with MOP buttons
- Burgundy Levis Jeans
- a near new pair of white canvas Sperry Top Sliders for my best friend (which, along with an all leather University of Miami baseball cap [can't believe I haven't posted that here] and Joe Gibbs' autobiography [all thrifted] should make a good Chanukah present)
- Blackwatch Pendleton shirt jacket
- the first not ugly Zegna tie I've ever seen in person

Awesome! That's what I dream of.

Hey everyone! long time lurker and wanted to join in



Found these Bruno Magli loafers, High Sierra boots, plus a pair of Johnston and Murphy shoes. I cleaned the J&M up with some ivory soap, then polished them twice. Will work on the boots tomorrow.

Had a busy week or so (IRL, not thrifting), and only managed to go twice in the past 2 weeks - a low for me. Still snagged some pretty decent stuff:


A pretty mint Armani Collezioni dress shirt




Pristine Zegna with the nice, thick MOP buttons. The Armani fits, but the Zegna is way too big, unfortunately :-/.







Pretty recent (tagged 2003) Tom James "Filo A' mano" sportcoat, Holland & Sherry fabric














Another recent (tagged 2005) Tom James "Filo A' Mano" SC, Holland & Sherry fabric











Black (I think so...that, or a REALLY dark navy..it's honestly hard to tell) "3 roll 2" Brooks Brothers gold button blazer (see pics below for the "roll"). The button detail is really cool; it has the Brooks "346" emblem on it.












Brooks Brothers windowpane tweed blazer








Brooks Brothers & Salvatore Ferragamo ties. The Ferragamo looks/feels like it's never been worn




Florsheim Wingtip Brogues, fantastic condition









Vintage Hannover wingtip brogues, also in fantastic shape








Unfortunately, everything above doesn't fit in some way. Lol, so much for sticking to thrifting stuff only in my size.

@androfan

really like those florsheims. details, please?

 

[Achilles_]

Matt I really wish that PRL brown herringbone SC was my size!

You should be able to get some decent money for it though.

Daaaaaaaaaamn that's nice. As an outwear enthusiast, I'm kind of disappointed in the lack of awesome coats like that in my thrifting experiences.

I know, right?! For being in Minnesota, we sure don't find much nice outerwear. Other than this, I've only found a recent Schnider's of Salzburg down jacket w/ read fur hood and another Barbour loden wool jacket that was too big. That's it. All I ever seem to come across is ancient (60's-70's) wool overcoats that fit like a paper bag and smell like moth balls with a few newer cheapies here and there.

 

[csoukoulis]

found 3 mint brioni shirts today, 1 needs a monogram removed. Billy Reid thin v neck sweater size L. gorgeous tweed top coat that may end up being a shade too small for me.

But the best find of today was a Beavis and Butthead tie LMAO,
