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

[Letric]

Nice before and after on these:

Welts and soles were caked in mud. Color loss and cracking on uppers. Very dried out leather. Pretty neglected and a good example of "ridden hard and put away wet".

A little running water, brushing and oxyclean took care of the mud. There was so much mud on the soles I couldn't even tell they had been re half soled. The Leather let out a big sigh of relief after slathering in Bick 4 twice and 1 coat inside. Toes surprisingly weren't all carved up and look great after a coat of Saphir Black and 1 coat of Clear paste. Sole edges where the half soles were applied were a bit rough so I lightly sanded, re-dyed and then beeswaxed and buffed...I think they've made a good recovery.

My favourite find of the day. Noticed it on a new rack coming out and had to run to save it from the rack vultures.

Keeper for sure.

YOU HAVE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ON FOR WHEN PEOPLE POST ON THIS FORUM?!?! I would have gone insane after ca. 15 minutes haha.

@eazye: Thanks, now I know what Escorial means. I think I have seen the label before, but I figured it was a brand.

How well do shoes like these sell? My area likely gets picked before I even see these. I always see “streetwear” dressed looking guys always lurking around shoes and racks coming out.

Outstanding accessory day, most of it women’s…. All N/A

PRL lizard belt with sterling buckle

Gamo leather belt.

Vintage horsehair belt. Had an insane vintage silver buckle I’m still researching.

Vintage Reyn Spooner Fanny pack. I’ve never seen one of these.

Vintage Baruffaldi sunglasses with swappable lenses.

Vintage Patagonia Synchilla color block cap.

That fanny pack is killer!

It's pretty good shite and fairly uncommon. Years ago when I worked for a tailor in Chicago, we made a couple Escorial jackets which cost around $5-8K if I'm remembering correctly, while most jackets in regular wool were around $1.5-2K.

Very dry here last few weeks. Did pick up another Marol shirt to match the last one but in blue.
This nice oversized book today.

A smaller version in the back jacket I assume to make it easier to cook with. First time I have seen that. Recipes look challenging but Delicious.

Some recent finds: shoe trees patented 1924, not sure about the sweater in the first two photos - nice, but that’s the only tag i could find
