The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[wcl]



It depends what you are buying. If you thrift Kiton you should get more then $150. If you thrift crap you will get under $55. Good good good pictures, good feedback reputation on ebay, time and patience. Things dont just fall in your lap. People who spend more time make more money. As Thomas Jefferson once said "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have" Can anyone give me a quick "age check" on how old this might be? Blazer or Orphaned suit jacket?

+1 Very Recent. And strictly on the fabric I would say blazer. But I might be inclined to put a nice set of horn buttons on there.

That looks super recent to me.  Maybe even current.

+1. That is their current label.

finally had time to hit it today!

first 3: recent Polo, made in italy
Paul smith
next 3: hermes

two recent unworn (?, pockets sewn shut) 3 button hugo boss suits

willis geiger, duchamp london, duchamp london, d&g, loro piana, robert talbott carmel linen (made in china but huge MOP buttons, really nice)

vineyard vines x2, zanella linen, zegna linen, RG

oops forgot the flash. mint park aves, pebble grain aldens
okay here is my favorite find from today. found this great great old Pegasus black leather carryon bag. insane quality, better than the old Louis Vuitton bag i found, super heavy duty talon zips, leather is really nice (kinda beat up though), and doesn't even weigh that much. the good news: it was $4. the bad news... i got it home and realized i didn't have the combination. So... 750 tries later (and about 2 hours), i now know the combo. derp. now i just gotta remove previous owners initials.

holy **** man. congrats on a great day!

^^^ Lol! You found me out. I'm wanting to get out the door, but am sitting here online while my wife is doing some last minute telephone gossip with her friends.

Hah, my bad! I think the inseam is too short for me though

Yeah, same here. They hit a bit above the knee. I like knee length.

I prefer mine just above the knee. I have a pair of BB linen shorts that have a 8 in inseam, but are 2-3 inches above my knees

Anyone want them?

What's the waist? I have short-ish legs for my height, so that's a decent length for me

Forgot to post these Pics, so I'll play a little catch up.

Got 3 Pairs of Zanella Double Pleated (33) ...they are the bottom 3 on the stack. One pair (tan) is LP Tasmanian 120s fabric.

And these:



Measure 37"

2 of the 9 Brannock Devices I found yesterday. I especially have a good feeling about the one for Buster Brown Shoes, a lot of hits and several watchers already.

Also picked up another pair of Zanellas last night. Tagged 36, double pleated/cuffed, beige.


EDIT: Apologies to the mods, apperently my original unicorn pic was not SF approved and was removed.

OKC.....make sure to check out Bricktown Brewery. They make a nice beer. As for thrifts, I'd check the Edmond area. It is also worth a drive down to Norman.

36 (maybe 35) I need to measure.

Cornfused...Not sure I said that???? Is there another capnwes on here?

Nah, was on my BB. Trying to quote somone else and must have hit multi on one of your posts. Went back and corrected my post.

But while we're just chatting, just the two of us, those Zanella unicorns: They gray or brown? And what's the inseam?

More gray than brown, but there is a hint of brown. Inseam is 30", Outseam 41" could be lengthened 2" and let out 2" in the waist. Clean lining. Non-cuffed
