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

Ahh...I suspect it may be an orphan jacket then, as I kind of remember seeing two names on the tag, if I remember correctly.  I'll check again when I have a chance.  I keep thinking it said something like R..../Wayburn, or something?  I remember R and W.

Thanks for the info "leisurewear".

I went back to same store and the pants made it out to the floor too. Scooped them up. Yes!

Just picked up two more mislabeled Black Fleece ties for $19 each shipped. I need to stop.

Some SW&D heat.... Pop on the EG. Unworn 3sixteen jeans. Can't find the model, however seems like it was from their original releases they put out years back. Lastly, thank goodness for having a Mildblend store here and the donor of the Rogue territory and Momotaro denim.

Coolest detail is the Shell Cordovan "Mildblend x Momotaro" patch.

Hi, my name is Woofa and I am a Linda-holic. It has been three days since I purchased a poorly photographed, inaccurately descripted menswear item at a drastically reduced price for my own use or for sale to others. Unlike the rest of you here at this meeting, I do NOT have a problem!!! Now please leave me alone while I search through 4,350 items labeled as Ralph Lauren for the second time this week.

^^^^ not L-Dog, but I certainly have done that. Many times. I'd like to think there's a bit of strategy at play when she mislabels stuff, but probably not.

Checked the rest of my Linda order. Unlisted/un-photographed stains on two of three shirts in one lot and the NWT shirt had two tags, each from a different garment. Hope returns aren't a boondoggle with the "buy 4" sale.

Yep ... gotta watch them. I've seen photos cropped just so they miss the tear in a 'no noticable flaws" jacket, stains. Another time a NWOT item was obviously altered by a rank amateur. And worse, a skirt that clearly had a bogus designer label sewn on the waist (the hem was opened up, the tag was sewn in crooked, and the hem hacked sewn shut again). It seems that some disreputable donors are taking advantage of the other side of her minions inability to see, think, or post clearly.

Sometimes gold and sometimes junk.

You're right about consignors trying to game them into listing for asking a higher price. One tag was for an item listed for $250 (and reduced to one cent at Nordstrom Rack) (in the wrong color), the other described it (a tropical weight cotton shirt) as "Mongolian Cashmere"

edit: and a big Rockford Files fan over here

Rockford would never wear a turtle neck that's from something earlier .
Jimmy always went with the trusty houndstooth sc.

Whoever gets this Linda deal is in for an unpleasant surprise! Aren't these two DIFFERENT shoes?

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the photo. Not Maverick, of course. Grand Prix?

Haha, yeah, saw those. Scoured the rest of the shoes for the orphans.

Theodguy - the 3sixteen is from their first 1.5 years according to IG https://instagram.com/p/VXALoKM45k/ but I didn't think mildblend was that old?
