The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[bpk1]

You made these ?
They're fantastic.

Yessir, started out as rough sawn black walnut and quarter saw white oak. Appreciate the kind words!

Had some plans to reference, which were helpful, but it’s the first chair and ottoman I’ve made (and there’s no screws, all mortise tenon style joinery). Took a bit longer than I’d like, but ended up spending a fair bit more time to get continuous grain match both vertically and horizontally on the three panels.

Triple pop situation with two possible thread firsts? I don't know if there are any other Simon Crompton readers here but I only knew about these two UK brands from his blog.





Sounds messed but yes this is the first time I've ever found miusa reverse weave in the thrift. Do you guys know if this is some kind of reissue? The tag looks so fresh I'm not sure if it's actual vintage 80s.

That's vintage boss. The newer crap will have modern looking tags, be made in Honduras or etc and Newer ones don't say Warmup I believe.

Modern tag:

I've recently learned about "college name sweatshirts" and holy hell there's some value. The vintage reverse weaves with notable colleges bring a ton. Nice find!

*Edit: Just saw that they actually do make repro tags on some newer items but I don't believe the tags look like yours and I don't believe they are US made. Damn brands re-issuing things!
