1912 to 1959. Unless there are other identifying details, probably as close as you'll get.

Not much time to thrift these days but one of my favorite stores was having a sidewalk sale that happened to be on a day off last week.
Suits were 3 for $25. Not pictured are a handful of Breur ties that were 4 for $2 and some Brooks Brothers slim fit Supima MIUSA shirts that were 3 for $5. Also not pictured is a killer Kilgour, Stanbury, French special order suit that is Savile quality that I will take pics of eventually.

suits,pants not pictured

my favorite I think, also a suit

Haven't posted in a while. Picked up a new to me toy:

Came with a Porshe, BMW, and the prior owner tossed in a Dodge Charger as well. Now I've gotta find room to set up the 29 feet of track...

I didnt thrift this but a friend did - thought it would be nice to preserve such an awesome find here though, especially after my B6 coat. I have no idea what its worth but I guess we will find out on Thursday. The tag is obscured in that pic but its a B6 helmet.

so i know nothing about guitar amps, but remember someone posted an old fender (?) amp up a bit ago and it was a thing. so, just cleaned out storage locker of a moved out tenant in a building I manage. tenant moved out end of May, was payed up until end of July. emailed him about stuff he left behind in apartment and said throw it away, he took everything he wanted. have a new tenant moving in on 15th, finally got around to storage locker in basement. found this, and know nothing about it except it powers on, and there is one on the other site going for $350. anyone have info?

To echo double00, that is a low wattage amp and probably sounds amazing if it's in working order. I'd be willing the bet the original jenson alcino is worth more than the rest of the amp together.

I don't think it can get any more Burberry than this

Im gonna post the rest of the haul on the weekend because I dont think the thriftening is done yet.
But had to post this.in 15 years I have not found a single BC sport coat.yeah there have been shirts pants sweaters but never a SC.
Ive found everything from Atollini to Kiton Vicuna but this motherfucker always slipped my grasp.
So its only fitting the one i find is new,unstructured,wool/silk...and oh so lovely.

Double00 feel free to **** on it.

Nice. Just walked by the BC store last night, saw the price tags dripping off those coats, took a deep swig of my cocktail, kept walking...

First for me.

Only tag on a pair of wool pants. Is it Belvest?

Scuderi

Since I've never found a gren tie, I'm ashamed to have to ask:



Just a textured silk weave and not gren, right?

I found these NOS shoes in my size, a swedish brand called Engelbrekt. Below they're pictured in some scans of a book from 1951, their 50th anniversary





More scans from the book on the blog where I've found them, some nice pics.

The shoes were made in Örebro, the center of swedish shoe production back then. Here's a film from 1940 of another shoemaker in Örebro, starting at about 4 min you get to see how they make a shoe (in swedish).

^^ That. Is swag.

Not that it happens all that often but finding stuff like this at a goodwill never ceases to amaze me.

I totally agree, you can't tell me someone would willingly donate these knowing what they are. Right?
