The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[shirtsnmor]

12 days in SD and no thirfting, but the weather was killer

Ahh. My hometown. I try to hit up a few thrifts once a month but SeaJen is right, they do price them accordingly. Hope you had a blast.

Whoops! I almost forgot the most important piece. Back to school/new job present to myself. 80% off, from the Rack.

NIce finds, I found a pullover with this same label last year.

 

[eazye]

I went to drop off some books at one of the spots, and all three of these were on a rack that had just rolled out.
Brian sized Schott pea coat in what feels like horsehide, rock star.

Brian sized navy Brioni suit. Dual vent, working cuffs

And this ****, recent BB 1818 Fitzgerald, both the trousers and the jacket have the 1818 Fitzgerald tag. It's dark in the store, so I didn't notice that the jacket is black and the trousers are navy until I got it home.

Nice finds eazy. That GANT from the rack is ****. When I was Chicago, the rack serve me well, you guys have a decent one for men's selection.

She is gorgeous, having a houseful of boys I always wanted a little girl. Congratulations!

Funny, when I woke up recently with all three daughters in bed plus my wife, I recall thinking: "In college? When I said I wanted to wake up with a bed full of women? Yeah, this isn't quite what I had in mind."

Edit: Oh, yeah, SEA: CONGRATS!

I haven't had time to do much thrifting lately, but here's what I've scooped over the last two weeks or so.
Recent Oxxford for Barneys charcoal pinstripe suit
Sak's made in Italy

Hand rolled silk pocket square

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Dead sexy.

Am I kopping Sorel Caribous for twenty bucks

Dunno. Are you?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

And here's my non-wiseass response:
From an economic rationality standpoint, it would seem to make sense if that is a better price than one could obtain it from elsewhere, specifically Ebay. So you'd be buying it at below value. Which this link seems to suggest:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Mens-Shoes-...w=sorel+caribou&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc

Spoiler: See what I did three?

Until this Spoiler, I didn't even mention the words flip or profit. Merely made an economic justification argument.

Congrats Seajen!

Eazy, nice finds! That sucks about the BB pants but the rest of your stuff should make up for it. I can't remember if it's you or not, but I thought you were the one that always found fair isle stuff.

Am I kopping Sorel Caribous for twenty bucks

I'd say no. Probably $40-50 on the bay, but these are summer sales so who knows.

Didn't go thrifting yesterday, but I did pick up a new Paisley. L'shana tovah.

Congrats! Do you guys thrift baby wear?

^I own the same pair of sorels, no idea on flip though

ALSO WHO IS A 17 SHOULDER????

 

[Shoeluv]

I purchased my Sorel's in 1994 when living in Alaska and they are still going strong. I live in the snow belt of Massachusetts now and use them a lot. Not sure of resell value but they are the best overall purchase I have made to date (or at least the one that has lasted me the longest).
