The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[torz]

Went to three thrift stores in in upper east side NYC, the first two I was in and out because prices were to high, one was practically a consignment store, The last was a good old goodwill...some finds from both upstate and the city...

John Varvatos Italy Medium Cotton/linen vest

Bugatchi Uomo shirt medium...poor mans Robert Graham?

3 more Hamilton shirts from Richards CT...17in neck

J crew medium Jacket, cool plaid and 4$

Left this in the store...hand stitched lapel...Karl Jackson?

Lanvin SC 40R. Had some good SCs at the goodwill in NYC, only took one



2 Faconable shirts, also 17in neck

60's era Pendelton hunting plaid fleece...same logo as the other Pendelton I found, Medium...very cool

I'm going to vote genuine. There seems to be a ton of detailing on them. Finicky stuff, like the leather straps on the pockets.
Plus the style is almost a safari jodhpur. Jodhpurs (not the shoe kind) are the equestrian equivalent of yoga pants. Google image Jodhpur and tell me if you agree.

Propasta and regular Canali are made to the same standards, just different cuts. Propasta was, like you said, a more youthful and modern cut. I think it's been several years since Propasta has been made but if you can find one of their later pieces, you'll find that they still look pretty current.

Really? I've seen Propasta jackets 1/2 canvassed vs. their mainline being fully canvassed.

Alright fellas, after seeing all the great things you guys are finding, I decided to try and go thrifting myself. I'm in college and trying to build my wardrobe, so I thought this may be a good (and CHEAP!) way to find some things for myself while also finding things to sell/trade. I bought a BUNCH of stuff, so you guys will have to let me know what you think. As a first time thrifter, what I think may be a good find could very well be crap, so constructive criticism is encouraged!

Right now I'm just going to post pics of the sport coats I found. I'll post the other stuff later.


First up is a vintage Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece DB coat 39R









Burberry 41R SC 100s Wool



























Vintage Ermenegildo Zegna (no tag for size and I'm too lazy right now to measure but I would guess 42R)

















Vintage Brooks Brothers 42R





















This one is my favorite. I know it is a dated SC and not Canali's best, but it's my first patch pocket SC

. Canali 40 S (I found the original extra buttons in one of the pockets)





















Another Burberry. Don't know the size but it is big, probably a 48.




















Finally, a coat that I didn't recongnize the tags, however it did have a lot of the signs of a good coat (pick stitching, 120s Australian wool), so I took the $5 gamble. If anyone has any info that would be great. Tag says Galvani Collezione.

Welcome to the thread, man! The BBGF looks to be an orphan. Those Burberrys' are not too great but if they fit, awesome. That Proposta is really awesome! I really dig the patch pockets! Good pick up for me!!!

Alright ya'll. I know I havent been active the last couple of months (not that any of you have noticed) but its been a good past few weeks in the thrifting game.
Get your kleenex and lotion ready cause theres going to be plenty of brand Appreciation and a possible Cheapies nomination for next year...
Stay tuned.

See? Point proven -- I'm new to this game.

Don't worry, man. Stick around and you'll be hauling ass like some of the big boys.

Unfortunately, I think you are right. I probably spent 30 minutes looking for the damn matching pants but to no avail.

Really? I've seen Propasta jackets 1/2 canvassed vs. their mainline being fully canvassed.

Hmm, it could very well differ between the earlier stuff and older stuff, but my Propasta tux is fully canvased and just as nice as the mainline suit I just picked up.

 

[InimitableStyle]

I pretty much stick to Goodwill for shirts, sportcoats, ties, shoes and suits although those hideous 4 button sportcoats from 2 years ago abound now. I recently scored 2 beautiful Dunhill custom silk ties for $1.99 each

Did you pick up the mainline suit from a thrift or from a sale? Got pics? I would like to see it if you don't mind.

[Fueco]

I forgot my near miss from this morning...

I spotted a beautiful unicorn print tie in a case at a thrift shop. I google searched and found the same tie (Hermes) had just sold for $110 on Ebay. Their price? $20. Damn thing had a 5 inch stain covering the whole thing. I offered to pay $2. They refused... Damn thing was unwearable, but oh so cool. I'd take a chance for a couple of bucks that the stain might come out, but not $20!
