The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Quote: Always thought that was the lower line of shirts, do not go for a much on ebay...Like "Z Zegna"

Maybe a precursor to RG's The Freshly Laundered Shirt (ie lower) line.
At any rate, probably not garish enough to do well.

Well, it was quite an eventful weekend...but unfortunately not in the thrifting department for me.

I played 2 rounds of golf,

6 hours of cornhole,

drank 1 liter of Jack Daniels,

lost all my thrifting money at the casino

didn't win anything betting on the races either

netted 5 1/2 hours of sleep all weekend

Had an awesome time, closing the door on my best friend's bachelorhood.

Where is dis NOVA you speak of?

NOVA is the loving nickname the Northern Virginians call home

Might I interest in you in this instead:

LOL, Don't worry, I pillage that village weekly.

NOO!!!!!!! I need to hit the stores ASAP!

No worries, I didn;t even get a chance to get to any VA stores.

Before:

After:

Not this time...

I hope that you find some great stuff in my size!

Maybe next time..

Had a pretty good day today.

Here's a nice HF SC that fits me nicely over a sweater. That makes me both happy and sad because it's marked a 44R. I've found the weight that Wes has been losing

Not available

Sorry, bout that....I must have acidentally shipped it in that last package I sent you..

It's a constant battle, my brother. Constant.

I just cracked my monitor...

Doing another juice fast in the next week or two after this wedding is over. Hoping to get down to 200 this time.

This is Robert Graham correct? Just the lesser line?

Completely different company trying to capitalize on consumer confusion. Often spotted at TJMaxx.

Found these over the weekend:

The Loro is sized EURO 52 and the Malo Size EURO 54 but both measure 24" pit to pit and around 35.5 arm length (center of neck to arm end). I'd say closer they fit closer to a US 44 or 46. Too big for me. Currently Available:













And these - seem new, though I paid a lot more than I should have. Listed size 12 (which means 11.5 as they typically run small) Also available:

I went and saw my parents in the suburbs yesterday and popped into a Goodwill by their place for a few and came out with a decent haul of records.

Top Pic: Kiss - Rock and Roll Over, Dressed to Kill, Destroyer, Double Platinum, Ace Frehley solo record, Alive!, Dynasty

Bottom Pic: Angel - White Hot, Sinful, Helluva Band (Never heard of this band before but they were discovered by Kiss and on the same label as them. Mid 70's hair/glam metal stuff with some prog influence). Tools of Romance (private press record of a new wave/post-punk band from Dekalb, IL), Jimi Hendrix - Hendrix in the West, Blondie - Parallel Lines, Queen - Jazz, Metallica - Kill Em All, Jimi Hendrix - Cry of Love.

$25 - $30 BB ties? At a Goodwill? At my local Goodwill all ties are $3 each. Even for a consignment store, $25 - $30 for a BB tie sounds overpriced.

You guys must have killer thrift shops compared to what's in my area of South FL. $25-30 for beat up brooks brothers ties at the goodwill in palm beach and $50 for brooks brothers pants

The consignment shop next door had the same $200 pair of used ferragamos he had 6 months ago...I wonder why.

Holy **** that Kill em all. My fav album of all time...it's my record grail and I've been looking for that record in thrifts forever.

Wow! There's some great albums in there. Kill Em All is pretty tough to find. Still have yet to come across a copy at a thrift, though I did find OG pressings of Master of the Puppets and And Justice For All at a garage sale. The guys who bought this stuff usually trashed their LPs and there aren't many remaining listenable copies left.

Not busting your chops per say, but it bothers me when people list stuff "worn once" or "NWOT". I assume you thrifted it, how do you know it wasn't worn twice or do they look to be in just excellent "like worn once condition"

I've seen Best of Class for $40 new at Nordstrom Rack... Granted, they were all quite ugly.
