The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[jcb9]

Just picked up what I'm pretty sure is a piece of luggage made out of elephant. Dated 1926, with the OG key! I've never handled the stuff before so if anybody can confirm or deny this, I'd be really grateful.










Edit: It was also made in my hometown.

Looks like Snuffleupagus to me.

2nd thrift fit EVER. Was going for a EazyE look the other day w/ my new RRL tweed jacket. I know Sleeves are waaay too long, but its going to the tailor soon, I haven't had a piece of clothing i've wanted to wear this badly for a long time though, so *******! Pants have a subtle salmon-ish check to them that doesn't come across well in pics. Also, for everyone who didn't see my last pic, IM WHITE! Suprise! (i guess, i didn't realize that was the public perception of me till last time LOL)

I don't know man, looks too big in the shoulders and chest too, even over that sweater.

I'm going to have to agree on this as well. It's a pretty cool jacket, but too big. Sell it and put an ebay notification for the same jacket but in a smaller size. Not only will it fit a whole lot better, but the cost difference between selling and buying will most likely be a lot less than alterations.

Not to pile on but yeah, too big. Like way too big. Like David Byrne too big.

YIkes, I have to agree with Wes, here, bro...I guess it's time to get your bench up to 350 lbs. so you can fit that!

As a follow up to my last post: I stopped by a new place this morning and didn't have much time however there was a truly massive selection of top quality shoes. Dozens of Allen Edmonds, Florsheim, Mezlan, Johnston & Murphy, Cole Haan as well as a larger pair of Crockett & Jones and a smaller pair of Alden's. They were all in very good condition, some very much wearable in the condition they were in and some that with a little TLC would have been almost like new! If anyone is looking for anything in particular let me know. Rey had wing tips, cap toes, loafers and driving shoes. Really a remarkable election. Next time I have a chance ill take some more time and really look at sizes and what not.

Does anyone know when APC switched from button to zipper fly (or if they still do both)?

Quick thrift fit. Excuse the mess, taken in my buddy's room while I was in transit.

Mabis from Hans - Huge thanks, very generous with these

Pants will be too slim for most, but I'm in an environment where classic isn't necessary

My unspoken fears... spoken lol. I thought when I put it on " i look like a brick", but I like it sooooo much. Oh well, to Ebay she goes. I should be able to get more than $125 out of that bad boy, right?!

[Randomore]

Couple things.

First for me.
J crew messenger bag. Millerain fabric. Awesome.

Brooks brothers flannel.

LL Bean shaket, awesome tartan fully lined with soft furryness so pissedthis doesn't fit. Tagged XS fits like a slim medium available

Another Brooks Brothers flannel. This one didnt fit my gorilla arms so available. Tagged S but fits M
