The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Found a vintage Brioni blazer this week end that I would like to offer to some of you smaller frame guys. It is a 47 EU / 37 US and is in navy blue- much darker that photos. Wool and silk blend. The buttons have Brioni Roma and appear to be brass / enamel. I apologize for the fit of the jacket on the form, but as most of you know, this is what happens when you put a size 37 / 47 on a side 40 / 50 form. Over all it is in pretty good condition, and probably needs a good dry clean as it appears to have accumulated some dust. Double vent, fully lined has a belt in the back that attaches the vents. Brioni Roma pattern on lining.

PM me if you have an interest in purchase or trade.

I might have found a quality jacket that fits

waiting on confirmation of measurements

 Spoo's telling him how to list it and is suggesting the "shotgun method" for the listing title - all keywords even remotely related to what the item is so it shows up in as many search results as possible.

Gah!...How annoying is this when you're trying to buy something, though. I swear, every ad I look at is like, Comme on de Garcons, Junya Watanabe MAN! Don't be no Outsider with your Band! Buy this Sears shirt! (Not a Gitman).

That's the source of my confusion -- they look like they should be normal but they soles hand grade. Thoughts?

Ive never seen that before, but if they are, thats got to be an oooold one.

That sold mighty quick...

Sorry, this is not a bomber flight jacket. A bomber jacket goes only to the waist. It is shearling however.

I'm sure he knows that.  Spoo's telling him how to list it and is suggesting the "shotgun method" for the listing title - all keywords even remotely related to what the item is so it shows up in as many search results as possible.

Correct.

I found some awesome stuff that way..

Found a Comme de Garcons Homme Plus shirt this weekend. It's a normal button down shirt except for it has button holes on both sides of the shirt and no buttons? I'm assuming there were some toggles or something that weren't included.

^^^ It might either have come with or might use a set of studs like a tuxedo shirt?

Still hoping someone knows something about this tag for Lubiam

 

[noob in 89]

Me too...I found that same thing awhile back, forgot to ask.

So I described the SpooPoker phenomen to the Moms and she spent a good half hour laughing at all the stuff Google images brings up.

(Not Spoo himself, just...related hijinks).

Lubiam doesn't make Lubiam?

This is made by Lubiam... Just want to know about the Duca Di Mantova line... Like their LBM 1911 line is a modern cut, soft shouldered line like Boglioli. Just wondering what the Duca Di Mantova is and why it's tagged this instead of Lubiam.

Oh ok! Sorry about the confusion, I will climb back into my hole.

I passed on a crazy lubiam sportcoat the other day.... hmmm. My inventory overstock seems to be harming my better judgement. Thrifting ennui is setting in.

Correct.

Feels good to have your ass kissed, right Spoo?

 

[AndroFan]

Sure, if explaining something obvious to someone who apparently didn't get it the first go-round is ass-kissing. Which...it...isn't.

It isn't a bomber jacket and it would be misleading and wrong to advertise it as such, shotgun or not. What about this do you not understand?
And by the way, I was not addressing you. I was addressing Spoo.
