The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[capnwes]

No Camera STILL so I'll just list what I got today. Firstly a Jos A Bank Tie Rack for myself. Needed one for a while now. Samuelsohn Wool/Cashmere sport coat. Martin Dingman Belt, NWT Banana Republic (265 retail) Made in Italy Charcoal Gray sports coat. And a Lacoste Tweed with suede elbow patches. Fits me so I might keep (not really a tweed guy). A few ties not worth mentioning either.

What does that even mean???!!???

Thanks for all of the love guys, I appreciate all of the kind words. A stressful morning waiting for the results has turned into a wonderful day. You guys rock.

PD - Right now, I am going to be diving pretty heavily into litigation, more specifically securities, probate, and general business litigation. As for the pants, they are for me. I have already taken them to the alterationist to have them tapered.

Good choice legal fields. My roommate from grad school made partner in less than 9 yrs. work in the business litigation arena. Started off working at the limited in real estate law. Than moved into private practice with a mid-size firm. And from there he quickly climbed the ladder.

I forgot to post these yesterday from my weekend haul. The Taschen is a daily dose of vintage fashion ads.

I also picked up an anthology of Indiana Jones and Aliens comics along with a Classic Illustrated of Moby Dick (my kids keep asking what it's about).

If anybody finds a cardigan in the style (not necessarily the colors) of this vintage Jantzen in either a small or medium, I'd be interested, even if it's just acrylic. Had one as a teen and wouldn't mind revisiting the childhood a bit.

Those hats :love: What size?

 

[PointDexter2014]

Maybe not on the level of grail clothing. But it's going to pair well with the Marantz home theater receiver I scored late last month for my home theater. Infocus X1 DLP projector. Good ole GW.

Pretty random group of finds for me this weekend - that's what makes it fun tho:

Minty ancient white dinner jacket:





was in the store with a black no-name one from the same address in Paris but ended up leaving that one...


Nice condition Polo by C&J boots - more expensive than I'd prefer but I like 'em:






(From what I can tell) an ROK Camo Jacket. Read somewhere that US and Korean soldiers that trained together in Vietnam sometimes swapped uniforms so I'm guessing that could be where this is from - no real idea though.










And my personal favorite find of the weekend:



3 NOS w/ tags vintage Zubaz just in time for Dolphins 3-0 start. Looks like they are from the late '80s ('74-'89 based on the Dolphins logo) no doubt pulled from some hidden stock room in a JCPenney. Also picked up the Canes ones against my better judgement

Lastly - I've had this like-new yellow and light blue check Corneliani shirt lying around here forever with no luck moving it - if anyone wears a size 15-1/4 and is interested let me know and it's yours for shipping costs otherwise it's getting re-donated
