The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Shiny]

Some recent finds:

Big boy stuff and some thrift synergy. Oxxford herringbone FF pants. 40x30. These are medium weight wool.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

handsewn buttonholes!

Canali FF pants. 42x32.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Could be my 1st t thrift grenadine. Unknown brand, though. Also, I think it is wider than 3.5”.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

BB Penny shell loafers. 11d. These may be aldens, but not sure. Will look good cleaned up.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Evisu selvedge. I think one of you dudes thrifted these exact same jeans recently. These have no crease marks at all so (fark it!) I'm gonna call these NWOT. Synergy!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Trafalgar belt. Tagged 42. If no one is interested in it, I will shorten it to my waist size. That scrape can be covered up when you fasten the belt.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

S. Ricci button up tie.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

R talbott BOC, R Talbot BOC NWT and E Zegna tiez. I think the spoomeister thrifted the same zegna tie in the past week or so. Synergy!

Yes, Alden indeed. Looks like they have a Horween stamp inside too. If so, you will want to be posting a pic of that.....HERE

Been pretty dry here for anything since I got back into things in the last week. Not much to brag about.

Heading out through Des Moines, Lawrence and Wichita this weekend on a rock band playing some out of town shows trip. Gonna keep an eye out for middle America's best hidden thrift stores.

Madre lives in Des Moines and I can honestly say that there is no hidden Gem in Iowa. Unless you are looking for Kohls brands

Whoah, these oxfords from Gustin look like a great deal:

Also +1 on Naked & Famous, especially if you're looking for more adventurous jeans in a variety of cuts. My brown canvas pair and the white waxy ones get a ton of wear, and look better as they age.

Yeah I kind of gathered that last time I was there last year but I hold out some hope.

I'd figure there's some killer vintage workwear to be found in small midwestern towns. I think in these areas, it's the opposite of looking for high-end clothing. Big cities won't hold much, the small towns are what you're looking for. People who've lived in the same house for a few generations and still have grandpa's old jeans folded away in the closet.

Yesterday's haul, from a half day on the town with 1OfTheCoolKids:

PRL Suede Kilties Size 10.5D

Anyone know the maker? I can't make out the lettering inside, but it might say made in Italy.

1OTCK tells me Sissy Boy 57 is a fancy brand. Definitely Euro sized, because this XL fits like a small L. Short arms, but alterable.

Spoiler

NWT PRL trousers, and old PRL trousers. Which would YOU prefer?

Spoiler

Etro Polo

Not the first Armani tie I've seen, but the first I've kopped, + another Atkinson for my collection. (Thrift synergy w hansderhund?)

Spoiler

PRL orphan jacket that I don't need, but it'd make someone such a lovely blazer with some dark MOP buttons ...

Spoiler

Mabro Suit. A first. Trying to decide if I can part with it. Maybe I'll do a fit pic and you guys can help me decide. I'm just a sucker for the MOP buttons.

Spoiler

Oh, did someone say Naked and Famous?

Spoiler

Or was it APC?

That's what I always hope for whenever I'm at my parents in Wisconsin. Haven't been super lucky yet.

 

[SomethingsFishy]

I'm in. Just got back from another round, about to post pics!

Nice Jean finds. Definitely give him a waist measurement on those. APC are notoriously a size-down-two brand.

Can I solicit advice from denim heads?
Are ASOS buckle-back selvedge worth picking up?
