The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[ATLjon]

What's the difference between these two tags? Is the red one just newer/nicer than the pink?





Polo, Aquascutum, Chanel, HF Collection, Charvet, Zegna, Canali, Canali
(not pictured are the damaged RLPL and the navy herringbone Polo that have since left my hands)

Oh ... and does Marshalls still do yellow-tag clearance? Does anyone know the Marshalls markdown situation?

 

[hmmurdock]



Dude, come on now...who cares, it's an entirely arbitrary post number.

+1...besides post 40k will be here in like four months.

 

[concealed]

both are fake, just send them to me

Wow... Just caught up with 50 bajillion pages.... Haven't been around for a week and a half! This thread moves faster than light! Haha! Can't say I've found anything in a long time... been looking, haven't found ****. Other than the glorious amount of **** one passes up on a daily basis (LL Bean, Tasso Elba, John Ashford... etc). As for the 30,000th post... coming across the "edit" before seeing what he really said, was a little strange. But shouldn't the 50,000th post be the most anticipated? Just my .02 cents.

Can't you just ban him from this thread also?

13.) 5 bucks says Darkmatter7 is sitting there with a maxxed-out reply box from today's massive haul, just waiting to press submit.

Man... I'm sorry I let you guys down.... =/

I've been striking out lately. I'm too lazy to get up and take pictures, but here's a summary of today's haul:

Brioni Shoes
Hermes Tie
Givenchy Tie
Balenciaga Sport Coat
Brioni Sport Coat
Kilgour French Stanbury Overcoat
Kilgour French Stanbury Sport Coat x 3
Oxxford Suit x 3
Samuelsohn Suit

Some other stuff I don't remember...

I know it seems like a lot, but I've been camped out at the store I found the Isaia at, hoping for a massive recent Isaia haul. I'm pretty bummed.

Oh ... and does Marshalls still do yellow-tag clearance? Does anyone know the Marshalls markdown situation?

I dont think its true for yellow-tag clearance as final markdown. I bought some shoes from Marshall that were from $200 (Marshall's price, not the retail price) that got clearance down to $69 (yellow-tag clearance), kept them for a month, then returned them, but the manager checked the price online and offered them to me again for $39, so I think you can wait the Marshall's price to drop down to 80% or more.

You are a big dude. I just looked at your last post again. I never pissed you off right?

It was from the blue challenge February 2011. It was cool to see yfyf, fuuma, frenchy, kitonbrioni, and a lot of the others posting Can't believe it was only a year ago...

Stopped by an RL outlet today, picked up a few pocket squares and ties for myself, and picked up a few items that I thought you gents might be interested in getting your mittens on. I'm only posting prices since this is technically a proxy. First come, first serve - regular posters in the thread only. Lurkers keep on lurking. Prices do not include tax and true shipping costs.

Gitman Bros. knit tie - $15

There's a large pull partial way up the tie. Left it so it'd be easier to photograph. I honestly think if you cut off the excess, no one would ever notice.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

PRL knits - $12.50

Polo tag has come partially loose on one side.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Claimed:

RLPL pocket square - $15

Claimed:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Ever the slightest pulls in small areas - couldn't even photograph. Definitely unnoticeable once folded.

edit: if anyone is inclined to proxy, I found this bag on eBay a few nights ago and fell in love. it's actually the reason I went to the outlet, in hopes I'd find it. Hopefully someone else has more luck: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ralph-Laure...0?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Backpacks&hash=item19ce4d1c0e

*solidarity*
But, don't misconstrue my accessibility for any self serving reason... I really just like talking about clothes and nice things, with similar like minded enthusiasts. The fact that I sell them is a bonus. My consumption is probably far wider than my output, BION.
...and point proven. WANT THIS!

Don't be modest. You aren't a dick and are very helpful, accessible, etc., which is awesome because most of us will never catch up to the knowledge of clothing you have to offer. Just an all around solid fellow.

I'll sneak this in under the wire... since I looked old in my DB yesterday, here's one of the Ted Baker SC's

The subtle color in the Ted Baker is pretty cool. The Corallorosso that I have has a similar blue color in the collar. I don't really like to wear things that are loud, but enjoy vibrant color, if that makes sense.

The only thing brag-worthy is a silk Hermes scarf. Funny story and pictures will come later. It is 4:40am here and time to go to sleep.
