The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Hey y'all, request here: RL/woolrich/BR/orvis/vintage southwestern shirts! Denim & supply stuff too, if you find it at all.

Sizes: L in vintage, XL for standard, or XXL slim fit. 25" p2p

I know you guys don't usually care to pick this stuff up, but please do it for me.
Everyone knows I love me some vintage americana, but even on sale the repro inspired stuff is too expensive. Help a homie out. I have tons of rad **** for trade, or just $$.

I don't know why people seem to poopoo on the denim & supply by RL. I really really like it too. The only new piece of clothing I've bought the past year (for myself) is a chambray/bandana shirt from rl d&s. I love it. That embroidered one in the pic looks sick too.

Heads up for 40R dudes who like suits in perfect condition from the 40's and 50's. Dude on Reddit is selling his grandpa's old suits, jackets, and hats. Some good looking stuff in there. http://www.reddit.com/r/MaleFashion...ll_my_grandpas_old_suits_40_regular_a_lot_to/

I know right? Some of their stuff can be pretty garish at times, but overall it's quite nice. The quality kinda sucks, but it's good enough for me.

I haven't been able to find any at thrifts, but I'm sure some people here must pass on it sometimes. GET AT ME

As a side note, can anyone explain why the North Face vest has instructions to wash sleeping bags on the care label?

Great haul! That J. Crew is insane. Such a cool piece. That Loro Piana is crazy too. I've seen Loro Piana for Netjets cashmere ties, but never a jacket. Wow!

The care label was just a generic label used on anything down that North Face made. They used it on their sleeping bags, parkas and vests. It's pretty much the same technique for all the down products.

Nat is this a thing? I thought you said something about a white label?

Nice haul! Score on those Huntsman shirts!

Sadly the sweater isn't anything too crazy. Pretty common, worn by a lot of the branches of the military. They are very popular though. People love them and they are very warm. The reinforced areas make them great workhorses too. Your's likely dates from 78-81 but can't read the tag so I can't be sure. Maybe $20-$30 on the bay. Nick-named the "Wooly Pully"sweater. Don't ask where the name came from, I have no idea. Haha. Brigade Quartermasters made a version of this in the late 70's and it was one of their best sellers. It was called the Wooly Pully sweater and was labeled as such. It was made in England. I think they still sell them.


Today was a day of near misses. Very sad.

First up was this gorgeous solid gray birdseye suit. Canali Executive Collection 150's. Not cool enough? Well, it was a 3 piece! Cool factor achieved, right? Wrong. No pants anywhere. It was even hanging in the suit section, not the "blazer" section so the pants were likely there at one point.

Second was this amazing vintage suit. I can't date union tags, but I'm pretty sure this ones dated from the 30's or 40's. It was in fantastic shape too. No moth holes, worn lining, etc. No pants. The kicker is that these were in the women's suit section and had a pants hanger on them so these did have pants with them when they were put out. Where they are now, I haven't a clue.

I know, right? I had you in mind when I put it into my cart. I remember you mentioning your vintage collecting a few days ago. Hurt me to put it back when my search for the pants came up empty.
