The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Same here, otherwise i get bulges in the shoulder area from where the hanger stretched the fabric.

And I need the opposite- bigger hangers, but I can't afford to buy Hanger Project stuff. First world problems.

If I was the kind of person that spent $30 on a hangar, I probably wouldn't be shopping at thrift stores.

Sorry, but everything is either mine, spoken for, on it's way to ebay, or sold already.

A few weeks worth of pickups.

The Hermes was being returned with a bag of other crap right as I was at the register paying. The woman set it down right in front of me.






Supplies


Even bought a clothing rack at GW


Finally broke down and picked up a Robert Graham since it was loud and cheap...and now I'm converted. This thing sold in less than 10min, for what I thought was a BIN that was pushing it.

Why's that?

I think the attitude here is that you shop at thrift stores so you can spend $ on things you can't get for cheap, like quality hangers.

Yeah, like 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch... Hangers? Meh...

That's just me though.

You guys ever heard this song by Macklemore? I think you would all like it.

I dunno, I can't figure it out. I keep seeing this picture of Luciano Barbera himself. With his horse. It's uncanny.

Spoiler: My first post!

New to thrifting and I live in a pretty small town in NW Georgia, so I thought this was a pretty decent first haul.

Trousers:
Polo RL - Black Watch Tartan
Polo RL - Glen Plaid (white and black)
Bravini - Wool/Cashmere blend tan

Shirts:
Charles Tyrwhitt - blue windowpane 
Faconnable - pink OCBD (with bird logo?)
Gitman Bros. - white with navy pencil stripe
Brooks Bros. - pale yellow Original Polo shirt

Blazer:
Corbin - navy (not amazing, but solid and canvassed, and I needed one)

What do you guys think?

Decent finds for yourself. Go easy on the shirts or you will soon be space challenged in your home!

Trying to thrift ourselves a 3% interest rate reduction on our mortgage...

Attaboy! Sell the Camaro.

If anyone finds some cream flannels in 36-38, mine (old Polo) were stained and ruined recently .

Shoot a PM to Spoo about these that I forwarded to Luxeswap. He probably still has them. I can't recall the measurements but that 54 translates into somewhere around a 38" waist.

...You know I thought the Dig In Action shot was kinda dicey ...

I. Did. Not. Have. Relations. With. That. Woman. Whose. Head. Is. In. My. Crotch!


Guys. I'm not usually one to complain when a forum undergoes a redesign and I may have missed any previous discussion on the subject while I was away but...

DAMN!

I may have to forgo dis joint. I can barely read it what with the tiny fonts, large white spaces and washed out thread title colors. I barely have time to get into a thrift anymore and when I do, I rarely find anything better than Banana Republic. Maybe it's time to move along.

LOL, I'd sell my wife first.

Update on that. I misread the paperwork and I only need $450 for settlement not $8K

EDIT: No, you are not allowed to leave, Dig.

Now THAT, I could read!

I went to the thread describing the new format changes and discovered that I could go to my settings and switch from the new forum default to something called "Styleforum blue". It seems to have helped a bit but the fonts! They so tinee, still.

Nice...yes blue makes it much easier to separate the quotes. Thanks for the tip.

I bumped up the size of the fonts for this site in my browser. I don't know the PC command, but on a Mac it's Command-plus (repeat Command-plus a couple of times or Command-minus to your taste).

Current status of the champagne room at the local G dub There's easily another two feet of height I didn't capture here. Promise Mountain.

Same story at at least one of my local GWs. Tax season must have been good.
