The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

How would you have gotten in then Oh yea, you wouldn't have.. it's the Internet, take a deep breath and relax.

When I first started surfing (just one of my myriad hobbies beyond mothy, nitrate-infused wool) a guy saw me eager to catch every wave. He pulled me aside and said "hey, you gotta share. Don't worry. The ocean will always make more waves."

To some extent, and from some perspectives, we play a zero sum game. But personally I'd rather have empty hands and a full heart than the opposite.

That said: Keep the faq off my lawn.

It's nice to know they'll mark them down that far. All the BB they had inside the city left long ago.

Hey remember when we started a separate forum?

Those were the day.

That would be interesting. Would this then be the gateway thread to B&S?

Wasn't this tried awhile ago? Didn't work out. Screening, it seems to me, leads to stagnation with such a tiny community.
Plus the other thread duplicated this one. I know there was some confusion of what to post where and why do double the work.

amazing how easily people in this thread seem to forget that this isn't their forum, or their thread...

Lol, don't mind me, as I was talking nonsense and trolling. This is the "interwebs" after all. Please don't take everything I say seriously. There's plenty to go around as we are all from different regions of the country. But just to answer your obvious rhetorical question, Brian, new people COULD be invited to the forum on a referral basis. But again, that's just me talking nonsense. After all, had the OGs such as J or Tokyo Slim made this thread private (doubt this will be fine with SF), non of us would of being here and dare I say, a big player like Spoo probably won't be where he's at today.

I do want to say one thing though, lurkers, please feel free to post and share your hauls on here. Don't be afraid to get ridiculed. We all learn and are still learning. Peace!

Pretty sure spoo got big without the thrift thread, but I'd rather see some hauls than debate that.

****, I've been passing up Z Zegna stuff left and right.

I wish I had that problem... ;(

Looks like i'm not going thrifting today...

 

[Cotton Dockers]

Whoa. Stay warm, East Coasters. I'll see if I can pick up your slack out here on the West Coast, GM-H.

Last night I reached my first entry on this thread after starting to read from the the initial post a few months back. I guess I can finally stop picking up all those Christian Dior ties.

subscribed. good stuff.

Thanks!

Also, long overdue giant shout out to gmmcl for the proxy on that super SICK RLBL cashmere shawl cardigan. Something I've been looking for for a long, long time. (Pic obvious does it no justice)

Looks awesome! I have to ask though, is that your hair at the top of the picture?! If so, how long did it take you to grow it out like that??

Wow, unreal. I can't wait for spring and just seeing piles of snow like that is mildly depressing!

And be careful shovelling. That's heavy snow - heartache inducing.

Guesses on age etc??

Whilst I cannot comment on age (but I would say 5 years or older), I would say that this is an Armani Black label tie and should be authentic. I had one similar to this.

Cheers
