The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[ATLjon]

Found this beauty today, but its an EU 54. Passed on my fist corneliani DB because it was huge, and I assumed it was an orphaned suit jacket (pants nowhere to be found, of course). I'll swing by tomorrow, and if it's still there, I might grab it anyway.

Haven't we had a spreadsheet before, on top of the now-defunct trading thread? I feel like there should be a more efficient solution than a spreadsheet. I'd love to get in the trading game, but it's just seemed like a lot of work, as I don't keep up with the thread all the time (e.g. I remember when Nataku found the teddy bear sweater, but entirely missed the scam saga).

On the other hand, if you're spending your own time to help us out, who am I to complain!

Do not specify "personal payment' as that is against the B&S rules if you read them.

That right. I usually factor that in my price.

^^ "Personal Payment" = payment via personal check / money order? Just wanted to clarify. Thanks. -M-

Finally found something brag-worthy.

Light brown Florsheim Imperials with V-cleat, uppers excellent, light-medium wear on soles.
Came with Florsheim adjustable wooden shoe trees with brass inserts in the heel pieces.
Size 10.5 EEE is a little too big for me so I will put these in B&S.

I stopped by an extremely hit or miss store after work today and came away with these:

• Ralph Lauren Purple Label, made in Italy black with grey pinstripe suit, dual vent with ticket pocket, labeled size 38 US
• Giniluca Isaia grey heather three roll two sport coat, dual vent with ticket pocket, dated 2004, labeled size 50 EU
• Isaia Napoli blue striped linen sport coat, dual vent, dated 2009, labeled size 48 EU
• Kiton grey sport coat with blue and black windowpanes, labeled size 38 EU

My best guess is that all have been tailored somewhere between 38-40S.
Unfortunately none fit me, all should be available if anyone here is interested. It just didn't feel right to leave these on the rack. I'll try to post photos soon, my camera battery is charging.

As promised yesterday photos and measurements are below.

Seriously...I've been sitting here for 13 minutes hitting refresh waiting for someone to say something about this awesome haul.....

Below: Before I talked to him about it yesterday... ? I thought half this stuff was sold already but then saw the pictures so assumed it was all back up again.

Already called dibs on the RLPL

 

[capnwes]

Anyone know what this extra piece is on the inside of this HT I found today?

 

[Xenos]

^^^Throat latch. Look under the collar. There should be a button on either side. That fabric attaches to the buttons to keep the coat closed.

rose04, sweet haul! Nice stuff. Prepare for the PM deluge.

 

[Typhoid Jones]

It's a throat latch to keep the collar closed. Look for buttons behind the lapels. -M-

You guys are on it.. I may have never found that. This is quite possibly the oldest HT I have seen and definitely the first throat latch I've come across.
Thanks

Purple Label is yours assuming you want it and we can work out a price. Everything else is up for grabs at this point (fits weren’t right).
Correction, no sale on the RLPL as well, PM if interested.
