The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Samuel Smith]

A quick visit to the local today yielded some interesting pieces. But first off - I have a pair of J Crew Aldridge Pant that did not fit me. They are 36 waist and about 29"-30" i can confirm these if there is any interest. They are navy and brand new (minus me trying them on)



Very nice 42R Giorgio Armani - Le Collezioni made in Italy Sportcoat. Looks stunning - nice grey 100% wool




Awesome tie that I know nothing about. This is probably the nicest tie I have ever thrifted.
Labeled as Keys & Lockwood New York
Made in England Hand Sewn 100% Silk. It is a dream



EDIT: i know nothing and deleted the 'finds'

^ Secondary dibs dibs redacted because I'm a dumbass who wanted to buy a flannel suit to wear in Los Angeles.

 

[MattR]



^ Wow, PM'd you on that flannel!

^ Secondary dibs

This makes me feel better that it wasn't my size length-wise. Someone needs to own that number! Lordy, that is nice.

Not a designer label, but I found a siiiiiiiiiick sport coat the other day. Made for a regional, high-end clothing shop, this sucker is 100% wool tartan and has some beautiful pattern matching and wooden buttons along with lapels so wide that Tom Ford just got a chub (I'm guessing it's 70s era). After a trip to my tailor, is going to be my new go-to jacket for slaying it.

I personally could not pull that off, but I must say that anyone who can must have balls made of adamantium. Post a pic when you have a chance!

EDIT: Actually, oddly related but profoundly interesting, you all should read about the Sapeurs of Congo: http://www.sabotagetimes.com/fashion-style/the-importance-of-being-elegant/. Fascinating stuff and people here will appreciate it.

And the photo essay: http://kalamu.posterous.com/photo-essay-fashion-cult-congos-la-sape-fashi

Makes me feel better because I have to buy a replacement iPad for the work one I left on the airplane on the way home

I need to be selling things instead of buying, so please don't pull any more awesome 40-42 pieces for a couple weeks.

I picked these up today. PRL Ankle Boots and it reads : "Est. 1967 - Benchmade in Maine" on the footbed. They are similiar to Vintage Ralph Lauren Leather Polo Country Boot, but are different. Can anyone help me identify these???

I'll take a stab. They remind me of Eastland boots, which started in, and have retained some production in Maine.

Sweet prl flannel suit! It's probably sold by now but what size is it? Can't read measurements

 

[ShayaEXQT]

Cross post from my B&S thread, prices are cheap so i thought I'd offer them up here. No prices mentioned so make me offers.

Yesterday was shirts, today is ties, tomorrow suits(?)

Getting rid of some stuff that is just sitting around. Some thrift finds, others NWT.

Picked up my first Canali Tie today - the best part, the lady charged me the "not silk tie" price. I am assuming she did this because of the texture.

The tie is available on the cheap if anyone is digging it, not really my style - I could try a little harder to catch the color-change nature of the fabric, if anyone is interested.






And!!! Bonus. My Wife! She picked up a pair of AE Sanfords today - not my size, but the fact that she picked them up all by herself, with not even a text message... wow. Keeper!

Also Available - only the left on is cleaned up in the pic, but the other will be cleaned up before they ship. 13A.

Hope you all really like NWT Hickey Freeman!!!
All Jackets in Size Order (after 3 suits)
​

As you can imagine, this is NOT a thrift haul (OMG that would be insane), but I have come into these 3 suits and tons of Sport Coats (45+ NWT HF Pants, a few sweaters, etc to come tomorrow). Some are HF Prez 100% Cashmere, 95% Cashmere, etc, etc etc. I am doing a very large proxy, so the prices are going to be more of ebay pricing, as the seller knows what he has (but SERIOUSLY feel free to make an offer BEFORE this stuff goes to the regular forum and ebay with nice mannequin photos and full measurements and I can try and work my magic

). Just got this put together tonight so please request better pictures and measurements of the items your seriously interested in (put at the front of the line) BEFORE this all gets listed on the regular forum and ebay in the coming days. Everyone here is getting 1st dibs

****PRIORITY GOES TO TRADES IN MY SIZE!!!! Bust out those hidden 36S Kiton's and Brioni's you have all been hiding!****

All prices include tracking and signature confirmation. Contact me for payment details. Paypal is great (there might be fees depending how you pay) and Dwolla is preferred (if you never used it look into it, pretty nice alternative to paypal). NO HOLDS - 1st to pay gets it.

FYI - Here is the basic info on each... you guys know the basic retail cost (some are marked). ALL NWT
