The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[tben]

Kato AAA. Almost pulled the trigger on a parka when I was in Japan. Bad ass quality, too.

Passed on two pairs of denim at the rack, mistake?

I live the rack when it delivers

which the one in WP rarely does...

breaux...trying to decide if i want to pull trigger on this "e-thrift"

can't decide if it's really ugly doe.

Someone a while back was asking what I was going to wear with a pair Levis buckle back cargo pants that I thrifted. Today I decided to bust them out in a monochromatic get up.
Gant Rugger rubberized fishtail parka, discount store.
Cheapo cashmere rollneck, thrifted
Levis, thrifted
USA made Timbo's, thrifted

It was me cause I bought a pair of NWT rag and bone cargos in the same color.

Great fit man!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Anyone have experience with shipping something to Greece? Safe or no bueno?

I wouldn't. Got scammed out of a $200 record about 8 years ago. Read up on some forums saying the country's postal service wasn't the most reliable and that Greece is a hot spot for scammers. I stopped shipping anywhere international except Canada and Japan.

If the price was decent, yes.

I do believe KATO' AAA and Kato are different.

Thanks to @DerekS for some minor leavings at a store we both frequent. Popped my Malo cherry, as well as picking up a great Breuer cotton/ silk Repp, and a white Cerutti 1888 shirt for myself. Found a great Merino Lacoste Live sweater with a quarter sized hole in the back.

Picked up this amazing piece from Wings & Horns X Heritage research collab from 2011 in my size with very little wear on it. Waxed cotton made in UK

I remember when I had buttons for nipples, it was a rough patch in my life.

Yeah, that's why I ask, they weren't spectacular, but not terrible either. Just looked like a normal pair of raw or one wash straight denim. $30 a pop.

Although, @troika the tag did say KATO'

Just curious since it's my first year on the thread, do we usually do a gift exchange/secret santa around Christmas time? If so, we should probably get that started in the next few weeks in order to find stuff that fits our recipient. I can organize it if you guys would like, unless there's someone that usually does. If not, WE SHOULD DO IT!
