The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

I was pretty confident it was fake so didnt even use the spoo signal

Good, he doesn't like being called upon frivolously

A pictoral followup to stuff I snagged this past weekend:



Some Tyrwhitt shirts


Canali SC, Brown/Gray Windowpane, Super 120s, Cupro lining, for Saks. No idea on the canvassing, I think maybe half?
54R
20" shoulder
20.5" pit to pit
33" arm length












Gieves & Hawkes SC, Tan/Beige/Brown Houndstooth/Birdseye (?) Windowpane
70% Silk/30% Wool
41R 2 button

19.5" shoulder
20.5" pit to pit
33" arm length

My first Saville Row piece...dunno if it's bespoke or if it was part of a suit. Bummer about the small stain in the right sleeve lining, but I think the cleaners could take it out?















Burberrys 2 piece suit that I mistakenly announced as Prorsum. Nevertheless, still quite nice.

Light gray pinstripe SC
39R
19.5" shoulder
20" p2p
34" arm length

Trousers are 32 x 33 w/ 1.25" to let out
9" leg opening
11" knee width












This last one is a YSL Made in France. I believe it is a 3 piece suit, minus the pants, which I couldn't find anywhere in the store. I haven't heard much buzz about YSL, especially not the mid-80s, 90s suits. This one isn't particularly offensive, is vented, and has a nipped waist for a more tailored look. Any thoughts on pants to find to make it a complete suit?





Oh yeah, and this Barbera FC 16 1/2



Could anyone help me decipher that Gieves & Hawkes tag...I'd like to know if I did in fact miss the pants...maybe the same with the Canali.

Apologies for the double post, but I think this got lost due to moderation.

tben - What was the Gant priced at? There's a ton priced at $140 that I love, so I'm curious to see what they can be had for elsewhere.

Found a Chester Barrie black and white houndstooth with light blue overcheck. Two button, double vented. Size 38/39. I can see why RLPL chose them as producers for so long. Bit too long, so it's available.

Any of the size small or 36R/S persuasion? If so, would anyone be willing to proxy me one? Thought about getting a Gant jacket during the Bonobos cyber monday deal, but they were sold out of all the smalls.

Blue summer weight Canali wool jacket, fits like a glove, crumpled but $1465 Bloomingdales tag still on, from eBay liquidator.Total cost $43.
Thought I was buying winter blazer but will not need tailoring so ready for summer. Happy.

That's interesting. I just read an article about some Bloomingdales closing in the NoVa area. Wonder if any of their stuff will make its way into the TJ Maxx/Marshalls around here.

It was on clearance for $169.00. The original tag read $498.00 and I am not sure what the compare at price was. Competitive price, but too rich for my blood.

I can't find anything about a brand called that. I keep getting stuff for an investment mogul named Kirk Kerkorian (wikipedia says he likes expensive clothes from Brioni, but nothing about him having his own line or who makes it).

 

[TheWGP]

Yeah, the size tag looks like I should know it - if anyone recognizes that'd be cool. Its a nice suit, I may pick it up anyway. . Thanks for looking!

I went back to the salvation army today to see if the Alden balmorals were still there. They were!

...in the hands of someone else. Seriously, I was about 5 minutes too late. oh well. Consolation prices EZ shirts x3, lorenzini shirt, BB cable knit merino polo, Gant Hopsack, RRL NWT jeans, florsheim wingtips in my size, hickey freeman italian sport shirt and partially lined plaid blazer. I'll put pics up later tonight.

I went to TJ Maxx and there was some decent stuff there, none of which I got. Navy Purple Label tie, gold paisley Purple Label tie, a completely unstructured Made in Italy PRL linen blazer, and a PRL dress shirt that was unlike any Polo shirt I've seen before, with awesome, thick mother of pearl buttons, a spread collar and European size tag.

Oh, and mixed with all the cheap cashmere was a Johnstons of Elgin scarf.

Day of near misses today.

- Oxxford for Saks d/b suit jacket. Navy with silver windowpane. 6/1 button. No vent. No pants.
- Oxxford Pure Camelhair sportcoat. From the same donor as the Oxxford suit haul a few weeks ago. Different store. Cuff edges were worn to hell. Something tells me I missed more Oxxford here.
- Brooks Brothers navy blazer with logo BB brass buttons. Fairly recent. Just wasn't feeling it.


I did get a vintage, never used ice cream maker from Sears for $10. My wife has been bugging me for one for a couple years. Also scored a pair of never worn Ferragamo brown pebble grain lace ups. Size 9 D if anyone is interested.
