Thrift jackpot! woo!

[graphix]

Well, great day! I've been checking all the thrift stores and consignment shops around my area lately. Looking for some sport coats/cufflinks/outerwear. But being a 46l i havent had to much luck. Today however i was looking through a shirt rack when i noticed a Borelli for Nieman Marcus white dress shirt with thick MOP buttons....bummer...17 1/2 neck (im an 18). Next to it however there are at least 8 pressed banana republic shirts, all great shirts some with french cuffs some without. I ask the clerk if he has anything else from that consignor and he tells me that they came from a woman and her husband who run a fashion boutique upstairs, with the money going to charity. He grabs a pair of 38/30 Paper Denim Cloth jeans and tells me they are from the same guy. perfect fit!!

Haul.
7 Banana Republic shirts...
1 pair Paper Denim jeans
1 pair of cufflinks...
totals: 94$ !!!

Im so happy i could dance around the room.

AND! shes bringing in another lot of his clothes. SWEET!

I wish my neck was a 1/2 inch smaller or would have bought all the custom made white dress shirts as well! maybe not though cause the cuffs were monogrammed on most of them.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here, because i would have never found this deal if it hadn't been for the forums here.

Pics to come in a day or so.

thanks

Go back and get the Borelli shirts and sell them on here! Those are amazing shirts, or move the button to fit you!

they also have monogrammed cuffs....think you could take that out without it being noticeable?

Pssh, that's not real thrift jackpot. More like a good day. Thrift jackpot is like a ysl jacket, 4 ties, a scarf, a pair of cufflinks, a bag, three polo shirts, and a jazzercise VHS tape for $9.50. Central Maine like whoa.

Yeah, if you have small very sharp scissors or a seam ripper (which is cheap), those are $400.00 shirts, if there are several, hell you could sell the buttons for more than you pay for the shirts.
