In field
look legit?

As far as I can tell. *checks jeans*

Tag looks spot on.

This one is made in India. Should I be worried?

Nothing too crazy from the past few days, but a couple of rad things:

WTaps SS16 Union Shirt - S - Available

Not super old, but vintage Big Mac Chambray x 2 (one cotton, one selvedge cotton/poly)

Killer vintage madras jacket for a friend - N/A
Nothing in the shoulder but the wrapped around canvas.

Weird possibly homemade long-Henley

The buttons are sick

I also lost my job last week, so I'm happy to join the secondhand ranks full-time while I figure out the next move. Now is when being a collector comes in handy.

very common for madras stuff to be made in India, from what I hear.

sorry about the news, @leftofthedial

That WTaps is radical. Sorry to hear about your job loss, been there. Having the ability to make your own rain really comes in handy. Good luck!

Also mislisted BB shell. One of you guys posted a link to this pair at $19.99 + shipping and I clicked it 3 hours or so after it was posted and it said it was already sold. So I did what I normally do when I see a poorly posted listing and look through the rest of the sellers stuff to see if they're worth following. There was another auction for the same exact shoes. I figured it must be a mistake so I clicked by it now just to see what would happen. They showed up, cleaned up well, and I sold them for a lot more that $19.99, so I owe somebody here a beer.

With the kind streak you had just find me some denim and we'll call it even, haha.

Speaking of avatars, I grew up in Corn.

@leftofthedial sorry about the inconvenience of new opportunities being forced on you. I hope you end up even better off than before!

So I found another worn Mark Powell today. Same donor.
I phoned up the store asking if these were bespoke or off the peg, no answer.

An hour later, I get a call back and guess who's on the other end... Mark Powell himself. That was some conversation about cloth and shirts.

Such a since guy, and I'm humbled to be able to speak to him.

Instead of a thrift store brag, a thrift store moment of shame:

I accidentally donated the wrong bag Saturday night and lost some really nice stuff. Went back today and they let me search the back room but there was too much to sort through and I came up empty handed.

If any Salt Lake City guys find a Margiela sweater, some premium Nike stuff (rainbow Flyknits, black/white Flyknit Trainers, Gyakusou jacket, NWT knit running shirts) or Proper Cloth shirts please let me know!

 

[Letric]

You're killin' me smalls!

 

[dukedishin]

dang, chet. wish we could all team up and thrift those things and send them to you, but it's all too cool to be found in thrifts. haha
