The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Thanks, guys. If it makes you feel any better it does have a loose thread.

If it's a small or medium, send it to me and I'll take care of that thread for you ...

There's no tagged size, but it fits me perfectly. I'll probably figure out something to do with that thread.

I get enough Stalkers from the Fedora Lounge. I don't worry about a few more from different forums.

The photo shoot went well... been working with Robert Bryan and the issue should be out in a about a month... so keep your eyes out for Classic Style issue #3

Just picked up two Steven Alan reverse seam button downs for $6 and $7, both in great shape, one has a tiny spot on the collar. Seems like they were clearing out the shirts and restocking so I might have to try again tomorrow...

Slow pickings recently. I stopped by the really cheap salvation army after work yesterday and found something I've been needing, a blue blazer (1.50). It's a darted Brooks Brothers model and it's half lined so I won't have much of a problem bringing it in just a bit. I admit it is nothing too exciting, or even exciting at all, but thrifting a staple is always a good feeling.

AlanC congrats on the great trousers. They are, at least for me, the rarest of finds.

I got this at C Mart in DC. I'll write a separate post about what else they had.

I bought a Ferragamo blazer for $9. Its labeled as Made in Italy, Fine Worsted Super 120s, etc. Does someone else make this I presume? Anyone know who?

Almost certainly. Take a picture of the information tag inside the pocket (if there is one) and someone might be able to identify it.

Today was tie bonanza!
Here is what I got, each tie was $1.21
2 Armani, perfect condition, both grey, one with various colored blue ovals, the other in shades of grey and white dots
2 Brand new Thomas Pink, thick silk, kind of a royal blue with yellow squares, the other yellow with blue dots
1 Hermes, NEW!!! Kind of a strangely constructed tie, not a 7 fold or a double 4, but kind of in between, I have never owned or held one. This is a beautiful muted orange field with blue starfish (not really star fish but shaped kind of like one)
1. Turnbull and Asser, kind of a deep navy with gold key design, woven not printed.
2. Vinyard Vines, NWT, one with whales, the other with baseball gloves. I will never wear them for business, but for social!
They forgot to ring one up, so I got out of there for $7.76!!!

Sounds like you scored with the Hermes tie. I would guess what you have is one of the scarf print ties. Here's a link to a post about my modest collection devoted to this forgotten classic. Great find.
