Allright, so I love to thrift. I've thrifted for so many years that I rather consider myself an expert
I've held my cards close to my chest for years, worried that someone else will use the knowledge that has taken me years to gain and swoop in for what should be, due to my senior thrifter status, mine.
BUT, to the faithful, can there is no worse feeling walking out of a thrift store and there being a NWT Borrelli dress shirt that you didn't find?? Now, I know you would have never known it was there, but still... it should have been yours.
So, I know many of you hide your secrets, but its time to be a community and share our learned experiences from thrift stores. Dont turn this into an "I found a ..." thread, that one already exists. If you dont have some real advice, dont post!
I'll start the ball rolling:

I'll start the ball rolling:
- If the thrift store sizes their racks, always sift thru all the sizes. There are GEMS hidden in the wrong size area, happens all the time
- Many thrifters find something cool, doesnt fit and leave it on the ends of a rack, then ends of the racks always have good stuff someone has found and put back for whatever reason. Take advantage of someone elses laziness
