The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

So here is a link to me in my:
Oxxford suit--6.99 plus about $75 in alterations and a good cleaning
BB Makers tie--1.24
Bijan Ali or Croc shoes--4.99
MOP tie clip--yard sale .50
I have yet to score a decent shirt in my size, and I ain't buying no thrift store underwear or socks.

The other pix (295 & 85) are of my personal shoe collection. Other than family and one friend I haven't shared it with anyone.


The other 5 pictures of shoes are of my shoes for sale, about 250 pairs, what is left of the used shoe store I bought out as well as some of my thrift store contributions

Hello all, I have enjoyed this thread for awhile and decided to try posting. ive been thritn often for awhile, bc theres 4 within 5 miles of my house, and than i got hooked. I mainly hunt for certain ties and old school shoetrees and stuff n my size is a bonus. Thanks to this forum my eyes and pockets have opened up to sizes and designers and esp shoes which i previously past by. Hopefully i can make EBTX jealous as it appears we travel the same turf. I will try to post to get to the required number to get a reply before i try my luck on ebay.

I picked up a double breasted Bugatti tuxedo. Can anyone tell me a little more about this brand?

Picked up a gray Brooks Brothers Shetland wool sweater while on vacation, $2.50 at a thrift store in Leadville, CO.

This is a very old NM label, from before the time when the store went national.

Could be from the 60s.

May be higher quality than current offerings, which of course are not bad at all.

I've got a few 50s/60s items from NM. None of the labels look like this. I suspect it's a somewhat newer vintage.

The style of the label looks like it may be late 60's to early 70's.

You can see the logo in the NM timeline here:

Check the 1928 picture marking the menswear debut.

The image is from later of course -- the 50s or 60s.

I got these 2 belts yesterday for about $5

Do clearance racks count?

6 Hilditch & Key full bespoke shirts for 150 gbp, in staple colors.

(It was a bespoke order my evil twin placed that he never bothered picking up from the shop.)

Putting them on is like wrapping yourself in very well-fitted kittens.

Went out of town this past weekend and arrived about 2 hours before check-in time at the motel. So of course I tracked down the closest thrift store, and then asked where other thrift stores were.
The hunt yielded 3 Hickey Freeman suits, a BB Makers tie and a Van Heusen tie. I would not normally uby VH, but it completed perfectly a BB suit I found last week. I also found a RL suit for me.
I bought the Hickey Freemans for the fellow on here requesting size 46, as these are his size. However, I can't remember who it is now. So shoot me an PM if you are still looking for sz 46 suits.

I think the doldrums of summer-time thrifting are setting in. I hit 6 stores and came out with one item. Nothing special. It's a 3 button Oxxford sportcoat. Blue and tan sheppard's check. Heathermist (?) model. Missing a button but otherwise in excellent shape.

 

[thinksyncopated]

any recommendations for thrift stores in los angeles?
