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

[TheRolls321]

Outlet update for the weekend. RLPL Spring/Summer stuff is still only 50% off and the Fall/Winter steals are no more. However, RRL had a serious mark down. Averaged 90% off on the haul. Keeping the charcoal shawl cardigan, indigo ranch shawl cardigan, jeans, and an over shirt. Selling the rest locally to fund this purchase and my previous Purple Label buys to bring down the overall costs. Lowest I've seen RRL go in a while...stoked about the hand knit shawl

Question for the shoe thrifters: How do you all sanitize your thrifted footwear? I typically used Lysol spray and wiped the interiors before letting them sit for a day or two, but I'm wondering if there's a better option out there. Bowling alley shoe spray, perhaps?

Lysol wipes ftw

Does anyone know why the bottom four inches or so extends like that?

It's a tradition stemming from the victorian period in which the shirt would have been attached to the trousers on the inside. That way there would have been zero chance of showing any flesh. Well made waistcoats or formal white tie shirts still retain the feature.

A few aristocratic finds from the last week. Just need an incredibly loud New & Lingwood dressing gown to go with the slippers now.

My thoughts exactly. For some reason that just has "the look".

Anyone know what rl label this is? No other tags on the scarf. All silk.

Looks like Purple Label font but the other RLPL scarves I have seen still tend to have an actual purple label sewn on the edges - maybe previous owner snipped it off.

Joining the club... first thing that popped into my mind. Sort of vintage but not outdated.

Gun check plaid is the best plaid.
