I'd be interested in some type of thrift trade thread also. I've got a bunch of great stuff I've been unable to pass up but that doesn't work for me. There are also things I would like but have difficulty finding. I had planned on just doing a For Sale or Trade thread in B&S but just haven't got around to it. As was suggested earlier, maybe just a pinned thread would work with an introduction from each member stating your sizes and anything specific you're looking for and what you have to trade. I understand the spirit of it but I think the big problem will be what was also mentioned earlier; you might want something I have but you don't have anything to trade that will fit me so I think there has to be a sale price listed as well.
on the thrifting front:
Ventured into Toronto this week . I had a day off and had to go for some personal business that was only going to take an hour or two. Toronto is just far enough away that I rarely go but close enough that I decided to spend most of the day shopping.
Mapped out a bunch of shops. I think I hit 10 or 11. Unfortunately expectations were high and I was somewhat dissapointed. I had visions of returning with a car full of Brioni, Kiton etc.
Got off to a bad start, nothing at the first two shops, a mainline Zegna suit at the third for $12.99. The jacket fit great, got all excited and then took a closer look at the pants. The guy must have sat on a cheesegrater or something.
Passed on a bunch of OK things and ended up buying a Zegna casual shirt, Boss sportcoat, 4 Eton shirts, 2 Scottish cashmere sweaters (Peter Scott and Lyle&Scott), a Burberry carcoat, a nicer than usual Boss dress shirt and a Brooks Bros. dress shirt. Prices anywhere from Salvation Army $3.99 shirts to Value Village $19.99 on the Burberry.
