The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Digmenow]



...

Spoiler: Two ties this morning, BB Makers, and a PRL black and white plaid.

I would have loved for it to have a subtle purple or blue overstripe, just to break things up a bit, but at least now I'm prepared if I get invited to the right kind of wedding.

...

Two very nice finds! Great pickups.

Spoiler: Hey brosephs.

I have been and will be mostly absent and sporadic at best for the next few months. While we were out of town, my daughter (yes, three daughters) came very early at 28 weeks. And the complications that caused it nearly took my wife (inorite? What is this, 1613??). So we are laid up with my incredibly strong and resilient wife recovering and my baby in the nicu. Please send thoughts, prayers and whatever you believe in; we're out of the woods, but it will be a long and windy road home. But most of all, keep poasting awesome stuff. Thrifting will be a rare treat, and posting even rarer. So I will live vicariously through you guys for a while. But don't think this gives ANYONE permission to fish my waters, or that it any way negates my permadibs on 42R, 36 x 30, 16.5 x 34, 10.5-11D.

Just got back to this thread and saw this. All the best to you and your family.

Spoiler: Moment of truth...try out the fit....

Do I stand a snowballs chance at getting 2 or 3 inches out of those sleeves.........?

Well, damn. It was looking good for a minute!

Another FAT Big Daddy Big Bawse Brioni gear-patterned tie. Available to fat men (or fat tie lovers).

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Or, for some reason, Singaporeans.

Also, a couple of standard-looking Hermes ties, doing that old-ish Hermes tie thing, one red, one blue. $25 apiece. Might proxy.


Also, what the eff? The new Goodwill lady's a dead ringer for Katie Cummings! Am I going to have to start showering for Goodwill now? This is madness, madness!

Found by far the best suit ive ever found.

Its a MTM by Randy? Loro Piana Super 160s Micron.... Slim fitting, flat front pants, Smokey MOP Buttons, so many details. Modern Cut. This has to be recently made... Not avail for now. Going to try to make this work for myself.
