The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Hoofit]

It was a tie day for me. I haven't found much to brag about over the past couple of weeks. Appologies for the washed out photos.
L to R
Gitman Bros wool, Massimo Bizzochi, Canali, Faconnable. All are available since require XLong ties.

Oh and a nice Harris Tweed jacket I still need to measure.

The Kitchenaid Accolade 400 with all the crap... don't overlook housewares, guys - if I end up selling this it'll bring $200, maybe more since it has all the stuff with it

Wifes...damn, I've been looking for one of these! You know how hard it is to get all the lumps out of cupcake batter with just a spoon

dibs if Brian passes

also, you're missing out without a wife (or soon-to-be wife as the case may be). The quality of foods consumed typically goes up exponentially (beef-a-roni vs. well, food). Although, you might be able to thrift one in russia

All yours Matt. I really need one 3.25" or under. It's a nice tie though!!!
I'll let you two fight it out

but I know my reply was within a minute of him posting it.

Okay, okay. My wallet says I can step behind you, too.

A kitchenaid mixer is near the top of my things I want to find thrifting right now list. I wish I could be so lucky.

I was walking through a GW last week and glanced down at the pile of TV remotes and there was a barely used Toshiba remote that was the same one I had, but mine was broken, $2.99 and it works like a charm.....

I think I did fairly well... Been thrifting a few times for fun but finally feel I actually snagged a few nice things.

You guys can let me know how I did...

Also not shown 2 cheap pairs of Levis Im keeping.

Brioni 100% Linen Shirt 25" P2P(To Flip)

PRL 100% Cashmere Black V Neck sweater (May keep need to try it on)

Hickey Freeman 48L Madion Sport Coat or orphaned jacket (Can't tell) beautiful condition with a recent silver label in a nice silk/wool blend (To Flip)

And finally an LL Bean Barn coat canvas I think, removable lining Mens small but fits like a trim Medium (fits me too, keeping it)

 

[MattR]

^ Those all look great. Love the pattern on the Brioni. If you get rid of the PRL, it should give you a pretty good amount if you're using ebay.

It's moments like this that erase all the horrid images of disease-infested cat hoarders, cross dressers and other undesirable sights. Makes thrifting a hell of a lot more pleasant. Oh and +1 on the pics!
My wife would go crazy for that Kitchenaid! She's been pestering me about a bright pink one at Williams Sonoma for about the last year. She has a perfectly good serviceable (and pretty new too, maybe 3 years old) white one. Maybe women collect these things as we do suits and shoes? In any case, this is a perfect example to always check the housewares. The Accolade is the upper model too. Score!!
Those Kenwoods are beauties, too.

Whenever I mix anything my wife is inspecting the machine moments after I am done using it. If I leave any mess on it, man do I hear about it

Great find, a color like that should sell well.

Trying so hard not to be tempted by that Brioni shirt and HF jacket... if that jacket had patch pockets, or if I hadn't just gotten several new jackets...

LOL you never know what you'll turn up on the thrift thread!

BTW whoever was looking and asking about Edwin Nazario - that's made by Caruso, 100%. It's a brand made for one of the Canadian stores - Harry's or Holt's - I don't remember which, but I looked into it pretty extensively. I found a super 150's sc from them awhile back, it was really something. What saddened me is that there was a SUIT that I left and was gone the next day when I went back.
