I hit some stores outside my normal range this weekend. Five stores yielded nothing, then I hit the following at SA:

Brooks Brothers blue end on end dress shirt $4
Macy's store brand blue and white striped end on end $4
Church's Cotswold brown wingtip brogues with shoe trees $7

Below is a shot of today's finds. L to R: An olive/brown wool/mohair Paul Smith London two button suit 42R, a Paul Stuart corduroy two button odd jacket and a cream colored Brooks Brothers 100% silk two button jacket...all near perfect. On top of them are a U.S. made BB OCBD, a Zegna plaid casual shirt and a Viyella red tartan cotton/wool blend, a Reis of New Haven Repp tie and a new tan woven cotton belt.
Behind it all are a pair of AE Richmonds and a vintage pair of English made all leather golf shoes. The shoes are sitting on top of a Tumi ballistic nylon two suit travel bag in perfectly serviceable condition. The whole lot was under $75.

What thrift shop do you go to ?

For you montgomery county, MD residents, at the Nordstrom Rack in Gaithersburg, there's a EZegna Trofeo sportscoat mistakenly marked down to $250. Great looking coat. 52R.

Nice haul indeed tony,

The Tumi is lagniappe!

It seems that your thrifts are particularly thrifty in Pittsburgh ( Land of the $2.00 Lobbs).

I don't put in nearly your time or effort, but I just can't imagine new $2.00 Lobbs here or the kind of haul above for $75.

Well done!

2 Hermes ties, $6 each
2 Paul Stuart ties, $2 each
1 new Blue/Yellow ribbon Canterbury belt, $2
2 pairs new Stafford brown dress socks, $3

Bijan tie ( I know,I know but it's going on ebay) $1.64
TM Lewin tie $1

There was/is a nicely constructed Paul Stuart jacket near me but it has so much pilling on it that I don't think it is worth it. For $6 USD should I just buy it and try to correct the pilling issue or should I just fuggetaboutit?

I go to many...and often, but very few of the trips are this productive. You just have to stick with it.

Had never heard of lagniappe, I had to go look it up. I like the concept. Its days like that one that keep me looking!

Hit Last Chance today, so not really thrift, but definitely discount...

Canali dress shirt (it's actually blue, just appears white here) - $19.99

NWT Santorelli pants - Chocolate brown corduroy- $14.99

Both...

Picked up a Ermenegildo Zegna Taglio Esclusivo DB navy blue suit, working button holes and all , dated 95, it's beautiful but unfortunately a size 54L, too big for me but I got it so I could check it out, so if any members are interested let me know.

AR_Six · Feb 20, 2008

^Good lord, a 54L? That's absolutely monstrous. You could call Shaq?

What are the actual measurements, out of curiosity? I mean, if you took any.

He probably means a 54L European, i.e. 44L American.

Zegna all silk sweater, $3. It's unreal how soft it is.
