The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Haha, do not tempt me, man! No more jackets for me, save for that very elusive Dr. Watson jacket from the Sherlock pilot.

Curious now...got pics of said fabled jacket?

​

I do indeed. This was actually my first post on Style Forum The coat only appeared in the pilot. Afterwards, they had to change costume designers; Martin Freeman now wears a Haversack shooting-style jacket in every episode (and sometimes, a waxed Barbour, as well). Side note: the costume designers on that show do such an amazing job of using wardrobe to accentuate the characters.

Today:

Haig and Dunn made in the USA hand sewn "Elf" tassel loafers. 10.5 eee


Sebago made in the USA docksiders. 10 wide


Doc Martins made in England oxblood boots! I've been looking for this color/model forever, in my size too! Can't wait to rehab these!


Probably the coolest braces I've found so far, silk knit. Anybody ever seen any like this before?


Bloomingdales Italian Alligator Calfskin belt. ****! Too bad it's a small, going to see if it fits my wife, otherwise might have to take it to the leathersmith.


Handrolled scarf for the wife, some more handrolled silk squares, one even has an old Macy's tag, so NWT I guess.


Another tie rack for my ever expanding tie collection. Never seen one like this before, has a drawer with a lid on top to hold ****.


Finally, a vintage Corvette pit crew jacket? Pretty cool. Up for trade if anybody has a Corvette

LOL are you indicating that you will take a corvette as a trade? Will any 'vette do? How bout a chevette?

Exceedingly cool. Any other sponsor patches? Oil/ Gas related? Probably get decent $ on ebay! I've seen vintage VW jackets in that style go for good $.

That is pretty cool. I haven't seen the show at all....not even an ad for it. Didn't actually know it existed.

On PBS Masterpiece in the US. Series 2 of Sherlock airs stateside in May, I believe. I've already seen it. Thanks interwebs! http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/mystery/index.html

Yeah, I really like that too... Noobizor, did you figure out what it is?

What size is the vette jacket and what are you looking for on trade? PM me please. On my phone so navigating the forum is a pain

 

[catside]

Anybody who wants that vette jacket should show the pic of their Vette. or it didn't happen

I'm sure Dig could thrift a Vette if he put his mind to it.

Can do when I get home, but the jacket is definitely older than the car.

It even matches. Electron blue, baby! Definitely the fastest color...

I found this in December at a thrift chucked in with the cheap suits. Richard Anderson Savile Row bespoke jacket. I couldn't find much about it on line. Of course it doesn't fit either of the guys so I put it on ebay. I think it lasted 2 days before someone bought it. I took a ton of images of all the handwork. It was a really nice jacket. Since I sew being able to check all the details up close in your hands rather than a picture on the internet was a great opportunity. I hated to see it go but at least it has a good home now.

I forgot to post this from when I saw it last Saturday.  Didn't kop, but thought it was pretty cool. Also the highest quality/most expensive item I've seen at one of the discount shops.  PRL for Corneliani, pure (raw??) silk.  Original "compare at" price as $800. Can someone explain the purpose/functionality of that flap above the left lapel?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Also, found shoes yesterday that are too small even for Brianpore (!!).  Imperial longwings with v-cleat in 6.5D.

LOL I left those behind figuring they were useless in that size!

 

[AndroFan]

Ha, I almost did too, but they're really very nice shoes and were super cheap on discount day. I'm sure there's *someone* around here that has a tough time finding this size and would be glad to have these

. They're only half a size too small for BP.

So, any small footed dudes, get at me.
