Many of these are great deals, but I have to wonder. Are they new, or used? I myself just have a personal OCD problem with wearing used clothes. As for new clothes, I have no problem looking on the clearance rack when appropriate. But when I go buying(I don't call it shopping). I know what I want, and go for it, otherwise, I don't buy anything, or leave the house. The internet is for shopping. Stores are for buying.(that doesn't mean I don't buy off net)

Uhh. Shops are for shopping too. I suppose, you know, that's why they're called shops. Many shops are in shopping malls.

As it's a thrift thread primarily most of the clothes are used. Since you yourself just have a personal OCD problem with wearing used clothing I wouldn't recommend doing it.

Not stores, stores aren't for storeing, that's something completely different. Besides, that is my opinion, as you are subject to yours.

So how do you feel about the possibility that someone else has tried on that shirt or pants in the store fitting room before you have?

Grenson Commando-soled calf country derbies from 1992 in reasonable condition - 20 quid.

Lovely Aquascutum suit in Charcoal Grey which fitted beautifully, but a glue stain on the lapel, so had to leave it.
