The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Maybe they were girls jeans

I can't say that I've never bought women's clothes thinking that they were men's, but I've never bought women's clothes for myself

Is this real guys? No actual tag, only this printed on and the made in France 972 so 100% soie

Nice camera. Even though 20 bucks is kinda steep, it's only a couple bucks more than I'm currently paying for single roll of film + development costs (no access to a dark room, currently). Sometimes I think that shooting on film is the stupidest hobby one can have. It's also fluctuates between being the the least/most rewarding activity in my life, which is likely the reason it keeps my interest.

you dont need a darkroom to process film (i'm assuming youre doing b&w?) just get a changing bag and load your reels in there, pop them into your developing canister and you're good. handloading bulk film can also be done in a bag and will also save you a bunch of money.

I thrifted a pair of Uniqlos(not selvedge) a month or so ago for myself in my usual size. They were about 2" too big in the waist and were so tight in the thighs that I would not have gone out in public. And these were the regular fit, not the slim.

I tried on a pair of j crew jeans and realized that they were women's when the pockets were tiny...

This.

And you do realize you can get the same look with Photoshop, right?

True that, to all of the above. God I can't believe how much film/money I shot/wasted back in the day. I must have 20+rolls and prints of the worst surf photography ever.

Thanks everyone and congrats to all the other new dads and dads-to-be!

as thrifters, you have something fun to teach your kid on top of sports, reading etc... I play a game with my kids now (13 and 11 year old boys). I give them $10 each and tell them to go make their months allowance

The first time we played was last week and the 13 year old brought me a RLBL shirt in good condition and the 11 year old brought me two BB slim fit shirts (they both know to only pick up slim fit BB). I calculated the potential trade/sale value and gave them both $30 for the month

This is awesome!

Available, thought it was a good time for a reminder.

But Spoo, the Thrift Thread Baby Boom seems to have already begun.

Vintage Schott Perfecto double rider horsehide jacket, b&s

That jacket is one of my favorite outerwear pieces that I've seen on here.



Found a 4 qt All-Clad stainless steel saute pan for $5.99 and a Bunn NHB coffee maker for $6.99 today.

Did someone say Barbour? Found this stowaway jacket a couple of weeks ago. It had something sticky all over it. I washed it this morning and it seems all good...

That's a big kitchen for Japan! The kitchen at my aunt and uncle's place over there is tiny. I don't even think it can' be called a kitchen. More like a portable propane stove on the counter next to a sink with a microwave above it!
