The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Cotton Dockers]

There's a WAYWRN competition today for homage-ing (is that a word) another regular poster's style. I was doing a particular dude there, who always wears black shoes.

The square is complements of Chet, and was effing free, because that's the kind of guy Chet is. I have yet to repay that debt....

Ah, didn't know there was a competition involved. In that case I retract my judgement of you.

And I figured the square was from Chet. He was all sold out by the time I contacted him. I haven't forgiven him yet.

This has been a great couple of weeks for me. First I found a pair of Raleigh Denim jeans in my size. Then today I found a pair of Alden chukkas in fantastic shape, and they fit! Almost makes me believe in a higher power (not that I've done anything to deserve this).

Been looking for those in 10.5/11 in brown forever. Awesome find.

Here are pics. I still have to edit them properly to get colors and exposures right, but this'll do for now.


Fantastic finds, great jackets. Congrats!

Orgetorix: That is an awesome looking jacket. I would wear that in a second!

Orgetorix, what size are those madras?

@GM-H - nice haul!

Points of interest:

- Wool BR pants from that 1-2 years they were really awesome (seriously), will also make nice shorts.

Are those the BRs that look kinda like Incotex?

Stuff from the last week.


So this happened again.......
I found these at a consignment store, pretty sure they come from the same guy who donated the 15 SC's I found awhile ago (46s)

In the field right now, single button black suit. Priced high though $45. Kop or not? It's too small for me

Kop. They're from when Hedi Slimane ran YSL or earlier Tom Ford. Either way you can't go wrong.

Well you did a good job at it. When I saw the photo, I immediatley thought of the guy. And then I saw your comment.

PS Looking good!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Didn't you post about a different Attolini on your blog? I'm so jealous.

Couple finds from today:

Pretty sure this is real. I hope I didn't strike out on a silk scarf again! Any help?

Whoever said the jacket is too fall-like: true, but it went with the cords which were critical for reasons others will understand. Plus its 40 and rainy. Plus it might not be mine by next fall (or next week)

NEED ADVICE stat: trussardi white jeans. Good condition but some damage at pocket. Kop or not?

Update: on the tom ford suit scammer wrongwroks and his other sf name m0bbie Rachapoll Phromyarat scammer, someone hacked his skype and spoke to him, he straight up admitted he did it and said thats what he does for a living, apparently he lives in Bangkok, he said he wont scam the same person twice and hes not going to return the money or the suit, (I wish the mods could verify with ip addresses) so heres a warning to you guys.

Hey guys. I've got a quick question. My TJ Maxx has recently had some pretty good stuff in stock ("Runway" for men). I grabbed a polo shirt from Brunello Cucinelli and one from Brioni at $99 each. They had what looked like Barney's price tags still attached. The Cucinelli was tagged at $445 and the Brioni at $595 originally. Good deals? Also, I grabbed a Kiton dress shirt that had an original Barney's price tag of $1095 for $59. There were 2 others tagged originally at around $600 each that I didn't pick up. Should I go back and get them too?

Yes to all. Why did you pass on NWT Kiton for $60?! Go back and grab them ASAP!!

So this happened again....... I found these at a consignment store, pretty sure they come from the same guy who donated the 15 SC's I found awhile ago (46s)

Absolutely insane.......
