The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Spoiler: Big shout out to Brianpore for looking out for me with this boss Boss!

I have to go to a companywide management meeting this week and the dress code is calling for the usual. I will be wearing this bad boy, fer shure!

Thanks Brian!

I have pretty much reached the limit of black shirts that I need in my wardrobe (at least 14 ) so
I'm officially out of the market for black shirts.
Unless, of course, you find a Kiton or Brioni!

I'd like to thank everyone here who both originally and recently have made such a great gesture by hooking me up with a quality work wardrobe. Thanks to all of you who have kept me in mind.

Thrifted this grey herringbone suit yesterday for around 15 bucks,
Pretty pleased with it, because I was about to pull the trigger for my next MTM with a similar fabric. Maker unknown, it only says Swiss fabric on the inside.
Trousers legs need to get slimmed, 19.5" leg opening feels awkward... not sure about the jacket, might have it taken in a bit too.












Sorry, couldn't get the spoiler thingy to work

Oh and I've been passing on things left and right as I'm running out of space. However, I saw something today that might get some interest. I'm in Denver until tomorrow morning so I could proxy until then. It was a Pendleton jacket/heavy shirt. I don't know what to call it but it was designed like an odd jacket, but lighter. I think it had patch pockets and it was a green plaid. Size L and pretty cool. I'm going to look for something similar for myself for fall dog walking. It was $15 though, so I left it. I'm uncertain with age but I couldn't find a moth hole in it. Let me know tonight/tomorrow morning if you want it.

I'm in Denver and pass on numerous Pendleton pieces that aren't just perfect so I would encourage you to do so. If I weren't working today I'd say let's meet up! Forum member MarkThomas is in Denver as well if you want to PM him for a meet up.

Speaking of markthomas -- just landed a sweet pair of AE bel airs in walnut. Thanks

No pictures tonight because my camera's flash sucks.
However, I picked up a made in Italy Brooks Brothers 1818 MAdison blue pinstripe suit. IT couldn't be much more than a year or so old and in perfect condition. A Samuelsohn navy blazer and a charcoal grey Samuelsohn suit. Both are full canvas construction and more hand work than I've seen on Samuelsohns in the past. Hand attached collars and lots of pic stitching.
Finally, I picked up a pair of J&M Aristocraft full brogues. Made in the USA with very nice calf leather and Goodyear welting. They're 7 Ds and Brian has been PMed.

Deetz plz

Bit of a brag....I picked this up last night at GW for $15. I already have 3 keyboards in my studio so I decided to list it. It is somewhat rare, so I went high with the BIN and intended to accept offers. Still, I never thought this would happen so fast. The recent ones sold for half this much.

Thanks fellas, I was very surprised about it. Not sure why he didn't send a best offer. There were 8 page views when I went to bed, two of which were mine. He was #9.

The best part...my wife was bitching because I brought home another instrument (although she had a blast playing Jingle Bell Rock on it...the only song she knows how to play). Then she said I would never sell that old piece of junk. WELL NOW WHAT!!! lol. Of course, now she wants me to take her for sushi.

That's a weird BIN price... How'd you come up with that?

Don't ask me hard questions like that. lol I have no idea, I just have them all set like that. It seems to work often though. I think the weird number makes people curious.

^^^ Welcome to my world. My wife eats so much sushi and sashimi you'd think she was a dolphin.

Mine too, but I don't complain...I'm the same way.

Faconnable, Burberrys, Ralph Lauren, Hickey Freeman tie, Brooks Brothers makers tie, Zanella pleated and cuffed size 32.
