After a long bespoke drought, three-piece glen plaid Huntsman suit--one-button sb jacket, lapeled vest, braceback trousers. Cloth is a fairly heavy flannel with a red windowpane. In short, not much of an inconspicuous ensemble. Made for one of my old friends before he started putting on weight. I can hardly wait to get out the old Henry Maxwell captoes and give it a ride. The ladies at the shop knew what I had. They threw in the Thurston braces but wouldn't part with the Huntsman hanger. Can't win them all. Five dollars.
On the way home I found a fifty dollar bill in the Safeway parking lot. Perhaps I really should buy a lottery ticket for the first time in my life.

Had one of my better finds in quite a while... 10 vintage hermes ties, $11 with taxOriginally Posted by mainy
Nice!
I found the rarest of all thrift finds today: what I specifically looking for. In this case a pair of full heel shoe trees (with the little wooden knob handles) for my new-tom-me shell LHS. I stopped by the thrift store with just such a pair in mind. They fit the shoes perfectly.

^^ Wow, nice find and great luck on the $50! Do buy a lottery ticket, it's worth a shot!Originally Posted by Nataku
Reminds me of the time I found ~75 bucks in the pocket of an old Brooks Bros. suit after I got it home... the money was ancient, from the 60's. Spent just fine though.

Decent day yesterday. For $3.99, like new black Gucci slacks, lightweight wool and a touch of elastolin, slim flat front, button fly, signature horn buttons and lot of hand work, and my waist size... And a nice TM Levin made-in-England shirt, $7.99.

Sometimes lightning does indeed strike twice. Until today I've never found an umbrella even remotely worth bothering with at a thrift. But this morning the Swaine Adeney Brigg golf umbrella jumped out at me; lots of fun even if not the most elegant thing (and it will provide excellent coverage for the kids on our walk to school). This afternoon I stopped in at a different shop and ran into a completely different sort of beast--an ancient black canopy number with a wonderful malacca and plaited leather crook. The frame and canopy are pretty much shot, but isn't the battle pretty much over if you actually have to unfurl the thing? Second price same as the first. $2.49

Not a bad day. Four Tyrwhitt shirts, two brand new with the cardboard still around the necks and one of those is a 180s. The other two may have been worn and laundered once. $.99 for a Brooks Brothers olive poplin in perfect condition. And, a pair of Larkspur Collection needlepoint shoes for my wife. She likes to think I do all of this thrifting for her. The men's items are just a lucky by-product.

Anyone have any suggestions for thrifting in Boston? Other than garment dist and goodwill. Thanks!

Congratulations to all of my brother thirfters! It sounds like our luck is finally starting to change.
I am visiting my mom in the small Louisiana town where she still lives. There is this ancient men's clothing "warehouse" here in town. 20 years ago when I was an undergrad this store sold vintage clothes. At that time all I was interested in were the things that looked Armani/Boss-ish. Then, in the 90's after I was gone all of the 60's flavor items were cleaned out.
On a whim I stopped in this weekend. The store was still open and what was left were all of the "Mad Men" vintage pieces from the 50's and early 60's. Most of the tailored clothing was wrecked but I found a custom sharkskin mohair suit in "like new" shape in my size. I also picked up two pairs of Floesheim Imperials still in the box and wrapped in yellowing paper from the factory. All for $80. It wasn't completely a steal but still a find.
He has racks and racks to dig through so it'll take many more visits to clean him out...

I lost 50 dollars today near that area. I'll give you my mailing address so you can return that to me
