The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[SeaJen]

Are you serious!!!??? That's like over 45,000 posts!!!

I didnt say I read them today
I've been lurking a long time and I like to know the context of discussions/fights etc.
That's why I'm sad at the prospect of the bragging moving to a new forum.
And now I must retreat back in to the shadows...

Nope, I can't see them whether I click on them or not.


EDIT: But now I see them fine.

I for one, will still post on here. I've gained too much information and made too many friends here to just walk away. It shouldn't be too hard to do double posts, one for on here and one for over there. That being said, I'm finna open up a Turnbull & Asser Bespoke Shirting store very soon, pics to come.

Anybody know if something's up with vexco? He hasn't been on SF in a couple of weeks.

Hi guys, I'm still new and was wondering if someone could authenticate these for me. I have a feeling both are fake but it was my first time seeing them in the wild so I took a chance on them.

I think they're both fake. The dead give away to me is the cheap looking, shiny labels. Every fake tie I've ever seen has the paper thin, overly shiny black label that is poorly sewn on.

+1. Gucci font seems off. It's kind of pixelated.

+1, I love it on here, and have learned so much. Posting here seems to be much easier and quicker than there, but I still have the methods to work out.

Grabbed these at one of my semi-daily thrift stops. I've never seen a new pair like this in the wild before.
