The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[tcnjbanker123]

Growing up in Princeton, I was clearly born too late for the good stores (1991). All I get to do is see my father and grandfathers great old stuff. My Grandfather often teases me with stories of when J. Press was just down to road... Now its just a J Crew and a RL, except for Landau which does't really count and Nick Hilton which isn't really always my cup of tea

Ha! I thrifted that exact same pair of Ferragamos a couple years ago. Studio line, right? I wear them every time it rains, and always get compliments on them.

I have a florsheim imperial that looks like the Ferragamo but with the vcleat sole. What you have is the ideal combination. I wonder if I can have my vcleat replaced with a commando sole like you have.

Amazingly, even his recent licensed suits I saw at Steinmart still used fairly unique fabrics and cuts - too bad they were made in China and apparently fused using Crazy glue.

I've only seen one of his older pieces in a thrift store but it was way too small. Great find!

Nope because EG is made in England.

look at his whole quote below it is mine saying they are made in italy (my shoes the ralph laurens)

 

[Trapp]

He's simply saying they cannot be EG's because the shoes say "made in italy".

made in italy = not edward green

Not so important, though. They will look very nice with a good polish.
