The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[size 38R]

CHET B , him hating my fits is a joke because his tie knot is wrong, his jacket doesn't fit. the top hat is too costume like. so, not out of context, he hated my tie knot and jacket fit etc. and to top it off, he says he is a teacher of style/menswear! he is like the scholars who taught that the world is flat, expert (so to speak) maybe. correct, no.

if other members wore the exact same fit, they would get a congratulations.........

edited to play nice, unlike others.........

ok, cross post from another thread, as all items are thrifted.

i know the jeans wrinkled strangely, but the blue ties in with the pocket square and stripes on the tie.
Jacket,shirt,tie- Paul Smith,
jeans- Gap selvedge.
shoes-democrata.
pocket square?   secret......

edited, lets see what happens...

I think everything works, except for the jeans lul.



On another note, for the guys that I'm supposed to do trades with, I haven't forgotten you!

Question though: why are you wearing blue jeans with an otherwise decent outfit? Doesn't do it for me, sorry.

A Zegna suit that I got for $50. I'll probably resell for profit.

 

That's gonna be a mighty hard flip...

I'm in the camp that jeans with #menswear on top is a good look. Carry on.

Sadly that was my thought too. Thanks for the input!

Here's a way to fix it, time to hit the shoulder press!

Speaking of E-Thrifts - I had a pretty epic one the other week. Posted it here already but I think it may have been lost in the mix. Note the free shipping

. 99% sure this is a Tom Ford design.

WHAT???!!!

mostly I agree but a few seasons back they had a bunch of blue de travaile aka French work jackets aka bill Cunningham jackets on uber clearance for like 10 bucks each I bought a **** ton and sold them for a nice profit it was my first foray into flipping, I still have one but I rarely wear it, it is probably more barrels size

DID SOMEBODY MENTION MY NAME AND CLOTHES IN THE SAME SENTENCE???!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that the Zegna label from the 80's?

I knew I was doing something wrong - squat so much that it is difficult to find pants that fit whilst neglecting shoulders

Always something to work on!

Four words: odd pants, odd jackets and maybe six words + odd vest!

Quick shout out to amadar for giving me a very fair price on an astounding Zegna Su Misura piece. I now have a Navy-ish blazer that fits like a glove, a very sight alteration in the arms and I will be in eahven. If you find any more of Mr. Green's Su Misura pieces you have a buyer in me!

Fit pics to come once it's steamed.

I think a pair of well-fitting chinos would improve this look quite a bit.

My shoulder workout consists of flipping through a couple hundred hangers of clothes, especially on the suits and coats. Feel the burn!

Aldens in my size that will spruce up beautifully? $4.50.

I love the perforated captoes. I can't find any Aldens in Phoenix to save my life. And we have about 47 Goodwills. Nice find.

Just pulled a pair last week from one of the consistently worst stores I visit and hadn't really even been in a store in months.
