The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[TheWGP]



Actually, I was thinking drugs. But maybe that's just me....
These are funny. My guy asked for a quote on shipping to Singapore, which I provided, he bid, then I invoiced him with the EXACT same shipping I quoted (which, BTW, was $5 less than cost) and he said shipping was too high and asked me to cancel. I did. I also blocked him. *sigh*
I've used "The Method" a few times on shirts with real MOP buttons (Zegna, Borrelli, et al.). Maybe the vinegar soak I use is too dilute or too short, but I've never really had a problem. I was concerned about this too initially, so I tried it out on a sacrificial lamb with real MOP buttons the first time. No issue. But I'm also not convinced that step does much, so I agree you can skip it.
Do I recall correctly one or more of you like to "mate" your hangers with your suits? If so, I have at least one Oxxford and one PRL wooden hanger (the thin kind; not the ones with the massive shoulders) that I'm not really doing much of anything with. PM me if interested.

There's a few of us... I've posted most actively about it I think, but ick578 is looking for an Isaia hanger. I might give him mine if we ever manage to meet up, since it's for a smaller dude, but finding a large one for the Isaia suit I WILL have someday is going to be difficult ^^;

I can use the fat-shouldered Oxxford hangers, but am looking to divest myself of the thin-shouldered ones as well, in fact. Sorry!

Yes.  Thrifted.

Exactly how I felt when I realized it was half price day 

This is unlikely to assuage Frenchy Valium's jealousy suspicions of how dm7 comes about these bargains on the reg.....

If anyone is interested in trying this out, I read in a book that you can use a coat of clear nail polish on shell buttons to give them a nice shine. I was thinking about trying that on the ones that I "clouded over" with the oxy method. I haven't gotten around to it, but I thought someone else may be interested.

I'm looking for a J Press hanger right now, can trade wishbone Brooks Bros hangers for it.

A couple shoes from yesterday.
First up, a pair of old Allen Edmonds, these don't even have a model name on the insoles. Anybody seen these before?

Florehseim pebble grain longwings.
Minnatonka double deer driving mocs, look to be unworn. Does this mean they are double ply deer skin?

Also, three pairs of trees.

Nice haul!

How much were the trees?

Or just paying off some kid at the thrift to hold stuff for him. The $2,000 NWT had to raise some eyebrows here.

It happens. Some store will just dump a bunch of inventory and write it off as a loss.

Denim jackets are back in (and by a guy whose name reminds me of J-Lo's husband)? I'm sitting on a GOLD MINE from the 90's. (Srsly, I'm happy for DM7, but this is just a fashion trend I can't understand)

Usually trees around here are $2.90. I've found the best place to look for them is in the little plastic bags that some stores have hanging up, the one's that have barbie dolls and other random **** in them.
