The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

Kinda slim picking around here again lately.

Did find these pants... Camo dudes. @Nataku? Are these anything? I feel like they might be Euro or something. Only the one skinny paper/gauze tag.

Those are awesome. Never seen that pattern before.

One of my favorite labels ever.

My best friend copped a gnarly bucket hat too.

She seems like a nice lady.

It's been a good couple of weeks. First the Zegna Su Misura 15milmil15 that I mentioned a wee or two ago. (tagged 56R available)

Went back to follow-up at the same store and found a Gianluca Isaia sport coat. (tagged 60R and available)

Then there was this bespoke suit and tweed sport coat for the same guy. My third and fourth Huntsman finds.

Finally, can I get an authenticity check on this tie? Real or Fake? Well made and has a metallic/reflective quality to it that is interesting.

One more... Tagged XL, but armpit to armpit is 62cm/ca. 24.4in. Not women's, but doesn't that seem smaller than XL?

Seems about right to me Hans? Barbour?

Story time:
So i was having a "Line". Chat with @Takai. Amongst the podcast worthy **** we talk about, i was moaning about how hard it is to get 29cm (size 11) shoes in Japan. -they stop at size 10.5, And not being able to shop freely for what i like. Got to asking homie about proxying re releases from Foot Locker when 90's badassery pops up. (Penny's,pippens,Jumpmans,Blasts,etc. . ) it really is that hard for a dude with stupidly large feet to get by.
After talking to him. I took the whip out for a wash. And drove out to the Nike outlet.
*Had the good feels. You all know what i mean. The "Thrift" was skin tingling.
Parked the car. -straight to the store.
Walked to the back wall. Past the rows. And BAM!

Air Jordan "Spike Lee Forty's"!!!!!!!!!!! In my damned size for a change!!!!!
Oh yeah. At 25%. I'll take 'em. These look straight outta 1997.
So, so sweet. The Thrift hath rewarded me in the struggle. -All i had to do was sacrifice some Yohji to the trade box for Takai.


Edit: who was it that asked about the Jordan 1's reissue in smaller sizes???

Thanks! It is. I threw it on and, while it was big on me, it wasn't "XL big" on me, if that makes sense.

 

[drlivingston]

I would welcome ANY type of precipitation down here. Today is the 63rd day in a row without any rain in my dried-up city.

 

[richnet12]

Datsunfan that looks like one of the heavy silk ties I have in stock.

Awesome score! Not sure on the date, but I recently had a pair of warmup pants with the same tag. Round Two's online shop was asking somewhere around $80 for the same pair I had. Mine were a medium and I got multiple messages asking if I had them in an XL. A matching set should do quite well for you, especially if XL or bigger.
