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

    Hey, been years since I've posted and I'm stoked to see this thread still alive. I haven't stepped foot into a thrift in many months to years, so slightly more upmarket resale is my jam. Picked up a few things at Buffalo Exchange yesterday just to scratch the itch. Todd Snyder 100% Linen OCBD...

    Holubar is definitely a grail...and not the much more common sew-at-home versions either!

    Been a minute...checking in with a recent grail acquisition. Sold a bunch of stuff to a local consignment shop and walked out with this among some other nice things:

    Ok y'all, long time no talk... I'm in kind of a bind and need a very specific piece for a wedding I'm in. Does anyone have kicking around in their closet a medium (38-40" chest) brown tweed vest? I like the styling of the J Crew Ludlow Moon cloth vest as an example. Feel free to PM me if you...

    lol, can we just change Jompso's handle to "tl;dr" ?

    Filson and Nordstrom are both from Seattle and Nordstrom sells plenty of brands that have an exponentially higher pricepoint (the Seattle flagship sells Rick Owens, Givenchy, Thom Browne, etc).

    No, Black Label was NGF sometime in 2012 I believe. Red Label in 2013. I really wish we did more collaborations, but right now only the C.C. Filson (Nigel Cabourn) collab is active.

    I sold my old Brooks saddle to Justin Saunders. Am I famous yet?

    I think his posting that was more of a humblebrag. Veilance anything is 1.5x the cost of mainline Arcteryx, so the swag factor keeps him warmer than normal. If you want to go crazy and search for a grail, here ya go...

    If you take a look at the "seattlegoodwill" feed on eBay, you'll get the idea that there is a lot of talent now employed by Goodwill to sift through the donations and identify the valuable items. I don't know if anyone would be keen enough to spot this sweater amongst a stack of musty clothes...

    The folks that make our Mackinaw Cruisers are 50 feet away from my desk and I assure you that I can hear them bantering and laughing on the line and during their regularly scheduled lunch breaks. They don't seem overly stressed and are paid a fair, union-represented wage. I'm not sure you're...

    We've consistently been bringing more and more production back to the US since the Bedrock acquisition. My personal stance is that it's how, not where, a product is made that is most important. If it's made out of top quality material and with a skilled hand, then you have a great product...

    I live in Seattle, so I'm going to watch the Super Bowl in its entirety for the first time in 5 years. I watched the first 5 seconds last year, where my then home team Broncos let us all down in spectacular fashion. I'm a full time employee of Filson starting Monday, so if anyone feels like...

    No fire intended, but I seriously hope Jompso is simpy Frenchy's erudite brother. That last selection is dinive. Inis Meain is a score anytime, anywhere.

    I'll give a second for Panache. Great fit, durability, and the patterns each season are on point. Really nice people run the joint as well.
