The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Yeah, I mean, some people here are lawyers. No way thrifting Robert Graham is worse than that.

What about a lawyer with half a dozen Robert Grahams in his office closet in anticipation of putting on the 'bay?

Dudes, I found a Crombie Chesterfield today. Double breasted, peak lapel, charcoal herringbone with a velvet collar, in a 38R. Fits like a ******* glove. The wife's out of town with the computer again so no pics until Sunday night, but let me tell you, it's awesome!

Y U NO 42R??
FIND ME WUN, K?

If it keeps us from debating politics. you can make all the lawyer jokes your tiny, hopefully law-abiding heart desires.

Jkidd, if you make it up here, lemme know. We'll hit the thrifts and record stores!

My mom lives in Findlay...ever make it to Finders Records in BG? It was a sad day when the one in Findlay didn't reopen. Spent alot of money at that store (along with Frickers)

Wow... crazy political arguments and I'm not involved. Will wonders never cease?

Hit one store tonight. Only came home with a minty PRL olive cord button down shirt for me.

Left a couple BB navy blazers, one a 6x2 DB. A little worn and didn't feel like dealing with them. I wish I could have found the pants to go with the vintage 50's-60's BB flannel jacket there. It was alternating navy / dark gray stripes and had the thin high lapels like Mad Men. I figured it had to be an orphan, right? Also, anyone know anything about Evisu Heritage jeans? Horribly ugly, but I thought they were supposed to be good. Not selvedge, though.

Also left this... anyone recognize it? Really weird padding built in












EDIT: Looks like this is an Aegix A1 Protective jacket for snowboarding, etc.


I was also thinking of seeing if I could clean the stains off the front of this... Someone spilled coffee or coke on it. Says something about genuine westernwear.

Quick question...does anyone have any madras (bleeding or otherwise) ties laying around? I'm about to buy one, but if someone here has something, I'd rather pay you.

yes yes I do, vintage j press

If you really like it, you could throw it in a pan and overdye it brown. If others like your brown sweater, they'll lean in close, and the pattern will leap out at them, BOOM!.

Couldn't resist.....

So what will the eBay title for that be? "AMAZEBALLS ROBERT GRAHAM KNOWLEDGE WISDOM TRUTH INSANE COLORS EYE BURNINATION"

If we're done with the Economics lesson, maybe now is a good time to point out that gun deaths in the US since Newtown have just topped 2,000.

That sweater is the find of the day in this thread (in my "humble" opinion).., medium?

For the record, I oppose guns and crazies flying planes into towers, but cars kill more than anything. Can we not focus on car and highway safety just a little bit, C'mon!
