The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Brianpore]

I think I might have a problem...

sorry for the crappy pics... I had a swarm of women chasing after me

PS - I am having a technical issue with my Nikon D3100. If anyone know about them, please click the spoiler and PM me (dont want to clog up the thread)

Sorry in advance if this is not the correct term, but the "click click" when you take a picture (I think its the shutter speed) is the same for all the setting 1/200 and 1/100 and 1/50. It use to be much faster for sale 1/200 vs 1/50 so I am not sure what is wrong. Very new to DSLR cameras, it just started randomly and I cant get it to have a faster shutter speed.

When I actually take the picture, you can see a visual difference in the amount of light that the camera let in when you change from 1/200 to 1/50 (1/50 is brighter), but the "click click" duration sounds the same now and it use to sound much much faster.

Yes, not the Dior you are looking for. That being said, I'd wear it.

They were showing my apartment today, so I took an hour to hit a local store. A few interesting things, all of which are available.

Woolrich jacket. I know nothing about Woolrich labels, but I'm guessing that this is true vintage. Fits a 40R perfectly:






Woolrich tweed cardigan. Made in Hong Kong, so old-ish.



And, my favourite. NWT and MLB hologram '92 World Series shirt (large). I've been buying up a lot of vintage-ish Super Bowl and NCAA Bowl Series shirts lately, thinking that they're really going to come back into style. And, it's summer. Much better than Hollister, anyway.

A few more quick ties I forgot about

Limited Edition 2005 Patek Philippe

GMMcL - I get an error every time I try to quote your post, no idea why. Anyway, the Canali looks to be an orphan. The tie might have made a good square, but I wasn't a huge fan of the color. It's also a 20-25 min drive for me. I will be back there this weekend. If it's still there, I'll pick it up. I've had a few inquiries.

Oh, and I managed to get about 75% of the stuff listed (if you don't count the portion that needs to go to the cleaners first), hoping to finish the rest tonight. I try to list the stuff as soon as I can because I don't have a lot of room in my office for clutter, so I like to get it into the closet and out of my way quickly.

I won't quote everyone again, but...

Wes and suited: Wow, well done. It was fun scrolling through everything.

Brian: Thanks, I knew it was something similar. A question though, how much of a difference is there between your left and right arms? All of those suits seem thrown off by that (though I know it's entirely correctable and normal). I agree with ChetBakerSings on the last suit for sure, it looks like you're swimming in it a bit and though a good tailor could bring it down, it wouldn't be worth it I'm sure.

Woolrich jshacket.

FTFY

No, I get WHY you listed your stuff so fast. It's the HOW I'm having trouble comprehending.

Um...in those pictures I rolled one sleeve up and one is down as it still has the tag and wouldnt fold... My arms are different but only by 1/4" or so.

I agree, last one felt much bigger....figured I'd post it to get opinions though.
