The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Went at lunch as usual...

Left these behind...


Brought these home....a first for me.
RRL Selvedge - 32x34
Quarter sized hole in the right leg,
Fray on both legs about 1" up from rolling the cuffs.

I might try making one down the line, but have too many other chores on deck at the moment.
I had a hard time visualizing this at first as well. The pull forms one loop of a chain. You want to create another link with some thread.


Tremble at my mad drawing skills.

Wow, that is a lot simpler than what I was visualizing in my head. Thanks!

Lunchtime thrifting.




Harris Tweed overcoat, probably a size 40-41ish. The lining needs some help, but this can easily be worn without it.










A First!

Gahhhhh, all the stores around here besides the SA's are having Columbus day sales, no thank you! I did manage to stop into a SA I don't usually hit. Picked up a stack of Jazz records as well as a pristine copy of the Beatles 1962-66, a mint copy of Thriller and some Pretenders albums.

And this sweet PRL tie.

Speaking of multi-folds, nobody commented on the patterns of the two I thrifted: what say ye, keep or try to move 'em on? Photos spoilered below. Hint hint, nudge, nudge.

I didn't like either of them, so I'd move them on if I were you.

I like everything you posted, but if you're gonna post "stack of jazz records" you have to at least spread them out a bit so that we can see them!

Your wish is my command, there is also some Vivaldi, Go Go's, Herbie Hancock and Dire Straits mixed in there.

I passed on a bunch more due to condition issues.

first time in a thrift store in months (been really busy with work with the refinance boom happening) and i snaked a mint pair of Alden for brooks brothers shell cordovan tassel loafers. Unfortunately they're a bit small @ 9.5D lol also passed on a near new pair of burgundy AE McAllisters in 13ee. can go back if there's any interest.

Sent you a PM but im interested in the Aldens...

Re the Hermes tie: Okay, um, I've had one of these (the red Faconee H) in my closet for 2 years... what the hell makes it so awesome or rare? Seeing a completed like that makes me think maybe I should just liquidate my Hermes ties... I'm much more into Kitons and Borrellis and other often-found-in-multi-folds nowadays.

Just their iconic design that never goes on sale - and you rarely see them on eBay either - for cheap anyway.

Also, passed on a white Tom Ford SC the other day at Holts Last Call, marked down to about $400 but with a thread pull in the back. Around a 40-42L. Bad pass?

Not exactly a thrift find, but PTO just posted about a dude who claims to have found a bunch of Paul Newman’s old wardrobe in the basement of his rental apartment. If true, quite a story.

Yeah, I'll let you judge by the inundation of your PM box whether that was a bad pass or not.

Dig that Zegna, capnwes! Toes the line of almost too loud, but I like it.

Zegna Paisley Stripe Tie

How wide...I want want want

Does anyone know where Marshalls goods go to die? They must ship them off somewhere when they don't get sold because they certainly stop reducing them after a point.

I think they end up in DM7's dorm..

Today was tie day for me I guess. Y'all know I love my plaids and paisleys.
