The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Friskydingo]

If there are any Trailblazers/Timberwolves fans on here, Uncle Spoo listed a Zegna su misura jacket that belonged to Brandon Roy. My only celebrity clothing find to date.

 

[Tyrone MacStiophain]

A weird old pair of C&J's, purchased in Jo-berg, surely in the bad old days.

Spoiler

They fit, so I'll see how beautiful I can make them before I decide whether or not to flip.

Haven't forgotten about that polo, I'll mail it to you eventually.

Actually I lied about that being my only celebrity clothing. Found five of Antonio Harvey's suits.

+1000 Hell of a find. DM7 and I did some digging at it is valued at $2,000-3,000.

Also, I came close to buying this old suit. I guess a lot of Pac NW businessmen travel to Hong Kong, so I find stuff from HK tailors in the thrifts all the time. This 1970s suit has a crazy high waist, but I actually kind of liked the look - I just couldn't pull the trigger. Thoughts? Would any of you rock it?

I'm BACK, bitches! No, not really. Life still chaos. But DID go to work today (see thrift fit below) and DID hit a couple stores. Thrift fit:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

HSM MTM Finamore Vintage unlined Scottish wool Unknown cotton sq, hand rolled Trafalgar belt Isaia Pantherella Charles Tyrwhitt

Finds:

(Colors are all washed out; natural light sucked) Shoes:

Testoni worn maybe 1x, my size and should look awesome once shined. Cole Hahn hand made in Italy, welted and sewn sole -- this is the good stuff, 8.5D I think AE some name I can't remember cap toe blutcher. Needs TLC, but lovely oxblood color. 10.5D

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Shirts: Borrelli (hand sewn collar), Chang

SCs

Orvis (good stuff, I think) forest green cord, with all the features - removable throat latch, patch pockets, shooting vents at shoulders. 42R, and keeping for now Southwick linen. 38R. Available

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Suits(ish)

Crombie wool/cashmere 40R. Prolly an orphan. PRL solid gray 6 over 2 DB, dual vent, USA made. 46L

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Ties. All from one. Freaking. Store.

L to R: Brioni, Gianni (never heard of it but like so I'm keeping), PRL, VV (kid size), Hermes, E. Zegna, Luciano Barbera, Versace V2, Ferragamo, RLPL NWT x 2 (YO SPOO: That gray dot look familiar? ) The Ferragamo and Brioni seem NWOT, which I could believe given the RLPLs are NWT. Oh, and the Torneau watch for Praxair. This may have been a mistake. It's very nice, but I think I overpaid. If anyone needs a last minute mother's day gift, let me know. All reasonable offers considered (whether it covers my cost or not).

Hey GMMcL, could you share a shot of the Gianni label? Curious if its a line by Gianni Campagna, or totally unrelated.

 

[Randomore]

GMMcL welcome back, bet it felt nice being back in the hunt. Nice fit too.

I haven't gone out in weeks. I am itching so bad.

Will try. Left it in CT and won't be back home for a couple days. Could be; it was Made in Italy and seemed very well made.

 

[eazye]



A proper "Hello" to these. Some random scuffing on the instep, I suppose from rattling around in the box for years.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Sick! Welcome back GMMcL, those shoes....

 

[sn0wman]

I found 3 Samuelsohn 3 piece (vest) suits today from the early 1970s. My knowledge of Samuelsohn is limited. Is this a good period or a less desirable period?





Also, I have limited Bachrach knowledge. Have passed on many until today. Hard to pass up 100% cashmere, made in Italy. This seems to be a little more casual.. almost an overcoat, but not nearly as long? Do they make their own items?









Also, not pictured has been a bumper crop of Charvet ties. I passed up on a polyester Charvet tie a month ago, and ever since then, the nice silk ones have been popping up everywhere. I like it!

 

[Stewie]

Couple stores after work myself...some ok pickups...some bizarre, and one non clothing find that I thought I would never find in a thrift.

couple nice Alden loafers - should clean up nicely

RRL suspenders

nice PRL jacket, unstructured, patch pockets



And now for the bizarre!

vintage wrestling boots - these are actually kinda nicely made...vinyl on outside, leather lined, headed to the bay

and for the non clothing find...anyone else got one of these?
