Hey everyone, I'm new here and I've got some questions for you folks.
I live in an area that has quite a few goodwills, salvation armys, and hospice thrift stores within a 10 mi radius and I love shopping in them, mostly ties and shirts as I've never had luck finding coats or suits in my size (46L). I know what a good tie is (I've found 3 talbott 7 folds, 3 zegna's, 3 canali's, couple HF's, couple georgio armani's, a hermes, and about a dozen brooks brothers ties, that are all great designs) but I'm having trouble with the slightly less than great ties, like I see probably a dozen different Robert Talbott for Nordstrom ties every time I go out (once a week), some are BOC, some aren't. I see tons of BB ties but some have different... grades I guess? 346's are one I see a lot of, nice looking ties but I'm not sure of the quality. I see tons and tons of BB Makers shirts, anything my size (17/36) I buy but I end up leaving a bunch on the rack that are a more common sizes (tons of 16/34-35's). I guess I just want to know if I buy these ties and shirts is it worth it? If i could sell them on here slightly more than i got them for, at least some jerk-off wouldnt buy them because he needs to go to a funeral and doesn't own a white shirt. Let me know what you think, also I'm gonna post some of the ties that I got for me on here because I just have too many ties now and I changed careers and I only wear a tie maybe 3-5 times a month.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
