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

[Guitar Preacher]

Pop on Rickson as far as I can remember. I’ve read a couple of the Portis novels and Stoner from Williams years ago I’ve meant to read The Catherine Wheel for the longest.

Can anyone help with this tag? Age, and the like? Full suit.

Switzerland made. I’m still researching, but not my main area. Thanks!

 

[Ich_Dien]

Pretty old - late 90s <2000. Zegna had swapped over to the tags we know by 2002 of that I'm sure.

Pretty nice looking after a little slathering in Bick 4, a light buff and threw some beeswax on the lace:

Pretty good condition all things considered. Tried them on and very comfortable.

@Purplelabel: Nice catch. I haven't seen Linea Sartoria by Corneliani before. How is the quality compared to mainline?

Stoner is THE book. Read it six months ago and was like WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN.

It's so well written.

Yep very nice but shape is a little square.

Interesting placement of the chest pocket on the jacket above. Isn't it kind of far from the lapel?

Its a weird jacket, honestly unlike the Zegna I found (same donor)

any little dv's on that spooner reverse print?, indicating a Dietrich Varez print? I don't know why but I love finding those little dv's.. it's like finding a star on your tootsie pop wrapper.

Here’s the one on today’s Spooner.

what size are those cycling jerseys?

 

[Nataku]

Live. Not perfect, but the price was right. They had $20 on the set for the couch, chair and ottoman. I asked if they would separate it (couch was nothing special) and they said $10 for the chair and ottoman. No way I was leaving it behind. $5 pillow set and $5 knit throw was the cherry on top. I wanted to get a shot of the $20 price tag but they pulled it off before I could get a shot

I was discussing with a friend today that the bragging about thrifting is completely a part of it.

Had a regular who’s into audio and stereo today tell me that my local had a “Rimowba” carry on luggage that was completely metal come out on Saturday at 4 pm.

Obviously he did not know what the hell the thing was, but had to brag that he could get at least $600 for it lol. If he didn’t brag…I wouldn’t have ever known that even existed at that store lol
