The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Towers]



No, it is not their ******* job, and if you think that it is their ******* job, then you deserve to have your ******* tie fucked up. ****.

Clearly this is a raw nerve for you, if you are so unhappy about having to remove hangers from clothes for minimum wage you should consider unionizing or putting up signs that all hangers must be removed by patrons.

finds;
Canali coat in 40R, my size but available straight up for a barbour or a nice trench.

Ebay, BB (available), Pringle (available), BB (N/A), BB (N/A)

is this the right Versace? its un-wearably ugly but was cheap enough I don't mind throwing it out.

Also grabbed this pair of Ferragamos

Nice and narrow! Size / availability?

5. MUSEUM QUALITY Vintage 1930s De Pinna 2 Piece White Linen Suit 38 R. Made in USA. (This is actually on consignment in my Etsy shop... you won't see another one like it.)

Whoaaaaa. In love with this

It's a good thing the shoulders are a little wide for me, because otherwise I would cry about being poor.

7. RARE ORIGINAL Vintage BARACUTA G9 "Four Climes" Khaki Harrington Style Jacket M 40 / 42.  (This is the vintage MADE IN ENGLAND Baracuta and not the MADE IN TAIWAN R.O.C. Baracuta.)

Weird, I just sold this exact same looking jacket on etsy last week. Think it even was a 40.

Holy Great Gatsby! That thing is F to the U.

GOOD DAY TODAY!

Picked up a pair of AE Sanfords in 10.5D, polished them, listing tonight!


And I picked up this blazer. It's a Martin + Osa so I wasn't expecting anything special, but then I saw that apparently it was woven in England...



Perfect condition. Size 46. Worth anything more than the 8 bucks I paid for it? Guess I'll find out.


















Anybody have any idea what it's worth?

That happens sometimes. I remember that I once sold a pair of AE somethingorothers on eBay to a guy in Michigan (or was it Ohio?) and Nataku ended up finding the same shoes in the same size and color at a thrift store in his city. I wonder if the guy you sold it to ended up redonating it at the Mass. Ave. Boomerangs in Cambridge?

Finally putting a few things away after a little thrift journey through Wisconsin last weekend, nothing much at all for a lot of stops:

Spoiler

Eton Light Blue French Cuff Shirt 16/41

Cal Craft USA Made Harrington Jacket (small?)

Couple of vintage USA Made hunting jackets

Records (Milt Jackson, Cannonball Adderly, Ray Charles & Milt Jackson, Soul Makossa, Bill Withers, Archie Shepp, Curtis Mayfield)

Ran out to the nearest store on my lunch for the first time in weeks and ran into Nataku who had the place staked out. Had a good chat instead of flipping through the racks.

Some of these finds lately are the best in recent memory. Remind me to take the first 3 weeks of October to permathrift next year.

ORLY?

Bad fake, right?

Three button leather jacket. The leather felt quality, I think, but I don't really know.

No tags anywhere ...

Medusa head buttons felt like plastic ...

Dunno dude, all that checks out AOK on the Spoo radar so far. What else you got?

Hey Guys!

You win coolest **** ever award. How much are you asking for that Princeton blanket?

is this the right Versace?

Definitely. Looks like the (highly profitable) 1991 Indian collection to me. Got a pic of the front?

I have no idea what the original argument was about, but following someone around from thread to thread...

na, just happened to be on this thread and saw he posted but made an ignorant remark about my point in CE, I happen to be on this thread more than any other so i wouldnt call it stalking but leave it to a lib to get all worked up about nothing

The Indian collection makes sense.

With all respect to Eazy, you win the jazz record thrifting prize this week.

Size small harrington, you say?

 

[barrelntrigger]

For the last 2 days, the thrift gods have thrown me a bone or two.

These are some gnarly ass custom made Star Wars action figures completely made out of scrap metal and other parts. Troika picked up a sick ass R2D2! You should brag about it, bro!









Oh, before I forget, I found this bad boy near the vicinity of a unvented holey Canali which I passed.


















BUTTTTTTTTTTT...

FML!!!!!!!!!!!!
