The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Ds13]

2 grabs today. Both consignment pricing. Shoutout to @mymainman for the tip.

So damn close to fitting, can't tell if I want to alter it.

M and Avail.

For all of you stuck in winter...

I just picked up a pair of Aldens. My first at an actual thrift store...

Wot

Falcone?

From a suit. No other tags. Quality of the suit is pretty mediocre. Has anyone seen this tag on an authentic Dunhill suit?

I've picked up some pretty mediocre legit Dunhill. I'd say the only Dunhill I found I was impressed with was made by Zegna. Can't speak to the authenticity of yours though.

Thought I might as well post a few things I found today and one a couple weeks ago which I just got back from the cleaners at the end of last week and I'm thrilled with. nothing special but i'm bored and figured i might as well post something. I love it when two stores right next to eachother and 20 minutes in each on a Friday afternoon produces a couple bags!

Ties

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Second TF in as many weeks. And a pop for me. First domenico vacca. And a super awesome wool britches tie. My favorite of the bunch.

BB lambswool fair isle mint. Couldn't pass it up.

NWT lambswool in sweet burnt orange and 100% cash mint (spot was actually a bit of fuzz I didn't see when I took the photo)

Awesome 70 30 cash lambswool and silk scarf. Mede in England. Don't know anything about the brand or quality but I've wanted one of these for a while now.

Florsheim longwing shells. With rubber soles actually, guess they were resoled at some point. I've never seen that before. Thick hard rubber. I actually like it.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The good kind of orphan. A light grey that can easily be made into a sport coat.

some gloves. .99$ black leather. 95% cash lining. Don't know the maker. Has a marking but I don't know what it is.

And two filsons, one photo. Vest from today. But my favorite find in a while is what it's on. Got it back from the dry cleaners last week. Minty filson wool blanket. I never ever look at blankets but I just happened to walk by and spotted the tag hanging out. Pure luck. And i couldn't be happier.

Dog looks a lot better. They gave him some hyper fluids or something and some medicine. Have to keep a good watch on him tonight but if he's alright past tonight it was probably just something ****** he ate. He's much more lively now so I'm thinking he's doing better.

 

[leftrightvsp]

Totally fucked up the spoiled. And totally not fixing it. You can figure it out

Authentic vintage Dunhill tailors. I think I go through this every few years so won't explain and refer to:

Like Drakes for Lukeswap, anyone with an ego and a shitload of cash to pay for such a privilege can order custom ties with their own label.

FTFM

Aforementioned items. Suit was thrift, slippers were consignment.

I have, wear, and love those Stubbs slippers.

Great day today. Picked up a ton of stuff but these were the highlight.

Am I correct in assuming these are gator or croc?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Nat, those are ostrich claw, or Struzzo in Italian. Its the actual leg/claw of an ostrich which doesn't have the typical pimple quills you usually see on the body skin.

Pop!

That's a relief! FYI - my siamese had a milder but chronic similar issue, and it turned out to be food allergies. Yer probably right, just something he ate. Hopefully he is 100% soon.

@leftrightvsp that font reminds me of cole haan stuff I've seen. Might be too common a font, but that was the first thought in my head.

Thank you both for your replies. Informative and helpful.

I acquired two bespoke Dunhill Tailors suits a few weeks back that are excellent in terms of quality. They were made in the mid-1990s and have a the Dunhill Tailors logo styled differently (picture below). I had assumed the tag was simply what Alfred Dunhill put in a suit when it was bespoke--that seems correct given information in the thread @catside provided.

Boom. That's it. Thank bud. I knew I recognized that symbol, just couldn't for the life of me remember who the maker was. Wasn't concerned with quality since my only other pair of black leather gloves is a pair of deer skin from L.L. Bean and unlined. I have been looking for a pair of cashmere lined all winter to no avail so these will do until I can upgrade. Also whoever picked up that kiton from the armory. I need to see more pics. That looks awesome! I have yet to find a kiton jacket. Some day...

 

[hbkshin]

What do you call these types of jackets? Not familiar enough with this kinda thing
