READ THIS ENTIRE POST!!!

Found these Gitman Bros, Made in Italy, pants last weekend. Can't find much on them and am beginning to think they were a bad buy, even at $3.99

Practically new...............................
No one ever said Phillies fans were the smartest folks in the world.

Astonishing find! I recently found two $20's in a Stafford coat. The inner pocket was bulging so out of curiosity I pulled out a sock along with the bills. However, I had no need to buy that coat, though I purchased other items.

Is finding and keeping money & valuables in thrift store clothing a case of fair (or even legal) 'finders keepers' if item was not purchased?

Yes. Probably all of it. I went around noon, about 4 hrs after opening, and a lot of the stuff was gone, especially the smaller sizes. I ended up going to 3 targets to get all of what I wanted.

Most the mens **** sucked IMHO and the piqué t and the sweats were long gone by the time I got on board

Was thinking about the sweat pants but they would be too long for my waist and I can't really tailor those. I ended up getting the white/black pocket t, sweatshirt, blazer (for travel), black backpack, and black sneakers.

I have always wondered this. The times I have found things in the pockets I have felt obligated to buy the items. Fortunately the items were things I could use or resell.

The non-answer to that conundrum can be found the last time the thrift thread debated this like 200 pages ago.

Also, to whoever was bragging about carrying his gun everywhere: people like you are the worst.

Yes Isaia. No keeper?

It has the silk keeper but no Isaia tag like the ones I've seen.

Funny enough I found this in my closet no idea when I got it. I think I just put it away to be dissected one day cause it's super dusty and I can't roller it off. I'll get it dry cleaned now though.

I was all set to hit up some thrifts Friday after work, but got a call from the wife indicating I had to change plans and do a hospital trip instead. I picked up a sweet NWT baby!

She's a keeper, so NA!

Woah! Congratulations. I hear those are pretty rare finds.

Pics or it didn't happen.

There are several of us here who legally carry firearms.

Awesome bonus find, Wes. I've yet to find any goodies inside thrifted clothing :(

Picked up a few days back, looking as the interior tag looks like it could be Isaia. Can anyone help me identify it?
