The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[capnwes]

I don't pick up a lot of ties, but this vintage one was too awesome to leave behind.













Oh...yeah. Also I walked into a hole in the wall dump of a thrift store I usually avoid. It's in the ghetto and the stuff is all piled high in trash bags. Not very many clothes, and they are all moth eaten. The only pair of shoes ever saw in there looked like a dog chewed on them. As soon as I hit the door, I saw a sweet pair of Shells from across the room. Pics later tonight after clean-up.

Here's the 42 T Oxxford, but it has some damage to the lining, and is missing the bottom button! Wow, I'm a moron. It's still pretty nice, though, so if it will fit any of you gents ....



Any idea on the buttons?







And this came from Ebay today. I am so psyched! It was $43 shipped, so a little much, but, well.



Next up: Find a pristine copy of Reich's Different Trains. Then my collection of freshman obsessions will be complete!

(and that's the end-grain cutting board I just made for my wife; almost done, just gotta put the varnish on)

Love the cutting board! Awesome work!

I just started thrifting in TC, do you find that the Goodwill's around here ever get anything good? I've found the men's shoe selection to be terrible. My best spot for quality so far has been Unique but it's for profit so the deals aren't as good.

GW is hit and miss. Men's shoes in general in our area suck. Nicest I've found are Cole Haans and Allen Edmonds with the occasional Ferragamo. Never Tremezzas though.

I know a guy who constantly finds cool stuff at Unique for cheap. Stuff slips through the cracks. One of the few Kitons I know that were found around here came out of there.

Well, five stores today... only three items picked up. All available.

Random Givenchy tie... I'll just use this to polish shoes, right?

And how about some 7FAMs in pristine shape? A pocket model. Size 36, measures ~33-34 inches inseam so hemmable for most anyone...

This random polo is an XL, though I suspect it's more like an L-ish XL than a real XL... but nobody could ever be interested in this, could they?

Good haul today! All brand new without box or dust bags. These and many more Allen Edmonds are available for sale on my listings​

I recently sold the same shirt I thrifted some time ago. I think it did rather well on eBay....$36 before shipping.

I usually pass on BB shirts that don't fit me since they don't flip well but picked up that shirt since i like bright flashy objects.
