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

@Nataku Cute kid!

@thefastlife to me (and I am NO expert) it looks good, not great. Sleeves and overall length look spot on. But as you mentioned, it looks a size too big in the chest. If it fit you well in the shoulders, then that should be an easy fix.

 

[txwoodworker]

AE Shaker Heights model I think.

Yep, not thrift, but heavy discount a year or so ago. The rainbow Gustins true thrift, one of 2 pr I have, the other I bought off of @leftofthedial which I am wearing today with some heavily discounted Sanders boots.

Found the perfect jacket. Vintage Brooks. Slim fitting. Buttery soft leather with no imperfections. Smooth Talon zippers. Amazing color and awesome style... 1 size too small. Oh well. Sz 38.

Golden Goose leather trench. Weighs a ton.

Upon further review, seems thats not the Golden Goose I should be looking for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[ace13x]

Gustin is dope (incidentally, I just made my first non-thrift purchase from them--Oatmeal Monster Nep Flannel = bitchin)

but I'm more interested in the ID on those b00ts... BB/C&J?

Definitely AE Shaker Heights. The cloth panels are genuine Harrris Tweed. They also come in black, dark brown, and chili. There was also an all leather version:

and a Brooks Brothers model with their Signature Tartan, still available:

Spent a little bit prying this off the wall of the garage. Was nailed between two 2x4's, being used as a shelf. Has probably been there since the 40's.

I'm not sure how a day could get better. Awesome.

I found a green version of that jacket a while back for $10. I left it because I don't flip and they just aren't my thing.

Not particularly special, but found this Nordstrom bar-themed pocket square today and I dig it.

Also, a Holland & Holland and one unlabeled silky tie in a mustard color I don't own. Blade is untipped and neck makes a nice knot. I'm just pretending the Drake's tag came off.

Today's thrifts, "No life 'til for Leather" edition:

SuSu Lazio orphan:

J.CREW Ludlow jacket:

Canali Suit (de-orphaned):

This one has my "expound" senses tingling, but I think its even skeeter that that loud paisley I found about a month ago and its an 2XL so I takes my chances:

My eyes! I'm seeing spots!

A little NWOT BB flannel plaid for me, wish it was BrooksFlannel but, oh well:

And then theres this dark forest green jacket. No tags whats so ever, not care, not content, not coo, nada. The only thing were the NEO zippers. For all I know it came from JCPenny's or Kohls, but I like it and it fits.

Yea spellout+flag+classic Tommy colorway=around a hundo. You don’t flip at all? That would
Be a pretty easy piece to make some quick cash on

One time I found a white version that wasn’t my size and wasn’t really my thing either. I do flip though so I bought it, sold it for $120 and then bought myself some Crockett jones double monks that were my size and were my thing.

Edit: sorry if that was a little too dickish. Know there are a lot of others on here who don’t flip but there’s not much need to quote somebody else’s find to just let us know you saw one once too but passed cause it wasn’t your thing

I passed on reading your post.

LA still has some goods...

Three piece, couple small holes in the pants, but not noticeable with the pattern.

Not familiar enough to know if this is legit, but same size as the following suits and jacket, so I. Thinking yes...

Didn’t realize the pic was this blurry, but the blue is a three piece, with large checks, the tie I found rolled into a pocket when I got home. Matches the suit...
