The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Brianpore]

bit of

, but since we are on the topic, i picked up one of the made in italy's the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180867861087#ht_2602wt_1181

we will see how it does on the bay, bit of a guinea pig, since there is a set of 5 of them sitting at my local sleepy thrift

Good luck, but that's going to be a high opening bid for that shirt, imo

You guys all research what your selling before you list it right? The sweet spot seems to be $10-$15 but there are a bunch that dont sell at $9.99 + shipping.

For some reason this is stuck in my head. But I think you only have two options for selling on Etsy.
(1) If you make it yourself,
(2) If it's vintage.
I may be wrong.

Correct, but a lot of thrift finds are vintage

I found my first HF today, but it was super old Boardroom and not my size so I left it behind, and I also found and left behind my first pair of Zanellas, double pleated, with significant piss staining. Also left behind a ZZegna suit; couldn't find the pants in the men's section and since it was only ZZegna I didn't bother going through the women's to not find them there either. I was busy and had lots of other things to do.

In the end I left with a pair of shoe trees and a tie. But holy wow--lots of great finds on the thread over the past few days!

Got a E. Zegna tie, lots of Robert Talbott and Ike Behar ties. There were a ton of PRL ties as well, but I left them. At $1.50 is it worth picking them up? Even if I could only get 10/tie, that's easy money.

Don't show me this, I must have passed on 10-20 of those Augusta shirts.

I know there are some other nice Made in Italy golf type shirts...does anyone recall what they are?

Barker Black is really nice English made (I think) shoes with a edgy twist (skull & crossbones, brass rivets, etc). The guys behind the company are younger. I remember reading an interview with them in a magazine. I've only seen BB once at Scoop NYC in Vegas. On sale a pair of loafers were $430-ish. Retail is $700+.

Actually DM7 should just go to their shop on Robertson in LA. I'm sure there's a thrift store nearby he can go to as well.

Did somebody say Bobby Jones polos? Found 2 today for _Achilles, size large



The one on the right is made in Italy and has MOP buttons, the one on the left was made in Thailand or something

Allen Edmonds Sanfords in Walnut, size 9.5D, available... As you can see they're in rough shape a bit right now, but after some Reno'Mat and Renovateur I think they'll look great





A Lacoste Polo



An awesome vintage Woolrich buffalo plaid hunting jacket. It doesn't say Made in the USA in it, but I think it's from the era when they all were. I love the duck hunting printed lining and the game pouch in the back





Also a pair of Seven7 for all Mankind jeans, size 29






All of that is available... Also picked up a Lands End harrington for myself. Been looking for a good one for a while and this one will do for now. It's actually pretty nice, surprisingly. I also saw a Schott NYC harrington also size Medium that didn't seem as nice and was also made in China.

Hey man, don't want to be the bearer of bad news but from the picture that Lacoste polo looks fake (more pictures would help). Also those are seven7 jeans not seven 7 for all mankind. Two completely different brands. Sorry man! Keep up the good thrift.

Woolrich is 80's, but hipster friendly.

Was damn excited about those 7's (I wear 28 and 29s) until I opened up the pictures. Not a fan of all the crap on the back pockets

I know Dunhill makes some. Made in Italy. Quality seems decent imho. Dig picked me up a nice seafoam one a couple of weeks back. and I grabbed a godawful mercurized beige one that's too big for me and is currently doubling my money (and thus supporting my ability to trade with you all) on the Bay.
And, of course, Loro Piana makes some too. I picked up a ladies one recently. Also seems pretty quality imho, and the color is a nice nantucket red.

Woolrich is 80's, but hipster friendly.

Wait, reall? I think I just threw out a bunch of my old Woolrich crap from the early 1990's. Dangit!

Argh! Stupid eBay searches brought up all Seven for all Mankind when I searched for seven7 jeans

Cool, thanks

Yeah, sorry about that
