Hit a few stores this morning and while going to USPS (side note: anyone have a wireless printer they want to get rid of? I hate having to ship from the Kiosk)

Vintage Montgomery Ward Work Shirt

Oh that makes it way cooler

Gnarly Chaps floral shirt for the store, probably.

Polo Sport Work Shirt for me

Vintage (possibly fake?) PRL Pajama Shirt for me

And this is one of my favorite things I've ever found. Thinking late 70s/early 80s?

PRL Melton Wool CPO Hybrid

Channeling Ralph St. Laurent today (all thrifted by me)

Vintage
Polo Sport x 2
APC
some ****** women's brand

Would a t-shirt at that price point still be serged? Just wondering.

With trendy labels/products you never know. I am attaching a pic from a Givenchy item I own.

So I went to the gw outlet store in Boston, what an experience, I knew what to expect but I guess I wasn't really prepared for the first bin to come... It was something out of the discovery channel...

Then I went to the actual store next door, another surreal experience, people camping for hours, the first bin came out with shoes and I stood up there while this old lady basically shoved me to the side, after the carcass was empty they took a pair of red wing boots and some aldens oxfords, exactly the shoes that I was hoping from this trip.

In reading this thread, I read about your adventures and how rude people are.... I honestly didn't believe it. Being from western Canada I guess I always saw your hauls and attributed to partly luck and partly the fact that you guys are located in big US cities.

I have a better appreciation for what you guys do down here. I know understand why you guys have to diversify and look at more obscure brands..

Anyways, I felt bad after looking at people on the ground fighting for a pair of used shoes. It is something worth experiencing. It does say a lot about the human spirit to survive (hustle) and to treat their peers like **** at the same time..

Sorry for the long post...

@SpooPoker Quick question: some of the titles of your listings on ebay end in "NR"; what does that stand for? Thanks!

Tons of shoes too. Was eyeballing that today.

I picked this up today because it was dirt cheap, I'm hoping it's some unusual kind of leather. Does anyone have a clue about the brand and or the leather type?

There's this guy, but the dates don't match. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joost_van_Vollenhoven

Did I ever tell you about the time I hung out with Ron Jeremy at 4am in a diner in Long Island, drunk as hell? He signed "rock out with ********* out" on my shirt.

Damned if I know where that is now.
