Nice thrifts lately, especially that Polo that looks like the trail master.
Anyone interested in RL Rugby sz M?

 

[thefastlife]

Someone clue me in here bc I'm slow...this is a nicely made suit buy what's with the buttonhole being sewn into/against the lapels?

Managed to find the time to hit up one store in Oakville while I was in the GTA. Man, I've got to say, you guys are lucky down there. The prices were right and there was tonnes that I left behind. Top notch quality at the Salvation Army on Kerr Street.


Shirts: Gant Salty Dog, RT Carmel (Left 3 more behind)
Ties: Celine Paris, BB, Gucci, Gucci, PRL, CT
Pants: AMAZING Pal Zileri light weight cotton trousers made with Loro Piana fabric. A chipped button, but no way I was leaving them behind.
SC: Dak's patch pocket, elbow patches, leather lapel hole.

Very pleased with my Brooks saddle Sir! Cracks me up how quickly that trade went down

Glad you liked it! It's just fortunate for you that I still had it laying around. It was supposed to have been up on the Bay back in May.

Pretty sure this is what the whole Luxe Swap operation looks like:

I kinda like this ****

they're not half bad right? I mean they hit thrift stores to go to the womens section or to find the most ridiculous **** possible, not really what we've got in mind, but it's entertaining... My opinion is probably skewed cuz one of them (kid with lighter brown hair) used to be one of my best friends, but its kinda catchy.

OK is Daks a thing for resellers, or is it just a thing for those thrifting and keeping. I've made a couple mistakes over the past weeks buying stuff you guys post on here because it looks so nice but turns out it isn't worth anything. I know this is completely my fault and none of anybody's on here, was just wondering. Thanks

Depends on the pattern and style of it really. This one is nice.

Also to give you a better idea:

I'm just in the background...yes you guessed it, dressed super gay...we shot that scene against the handball court at an elementary school with the most ridiculous **** on we could wear and 2 liters of jack daniels...the cops were soon called...apparently Jack Daniels isn't supposed to be consumed on elementary school property...even on Sunday... they frown upon this sort of thing, good thing we all dispersed in separate directions so they couldn't nab one of us

Well someone is making a trip back to the store he left 3 DAKS blazers at and reassessing his decision, they're ten bucks a pop.

Here's the last one I picked up for $2:

It was not in good condition either. Stain on the back, ripped lining, missing a button. I swear Spoo could sell ice in winter, fire in hell. Man he could probably even sell water to a well.

Here's the first of the two items I'm not sure about, it's a Christian Dior men's coat. Let me know what you guys think, whether real or not/worth picking up:
The third picture shows the label, and the three things that were in the inside pockets of the jacket (figured maybe it'd help ID if real/time period, etc)

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The second item is what appears to be a Burberry trench coat. My uneducated guess is that it's real as the attention to detail is much higher than I would expect from a fake. Please let me know what you guys think and if you need more photos to help ID. Thanks for the help!!
