The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

Nothing but fodder for me post open. Seems like overall new product flow is just a lot slower. Even reopening at one of my old reliables with completely new inventory yielded just an armful of base hits. At least got this little pop tonight checking out a new spot

hitting the e thrifting game hard and realizing more and more how many people out there willing to take tiny margins, not really worth the effort most of the time unless it’s an interesting piece that will move fast. Couple things from e thrift. 10% of retail on the rrl leather pants and 30% of retail on the Carmina.

Does anybody recognise this vintage shoe brand? I'm not having any luck on Google. Neither Terry de Havilland nor Terry Smith seems right.

You have a picture of the model/serial number?

Yeah, very funny, but I'm actually looking for a serious answer. This is the third site I've tried, and I'm over alleged comedians who don't actually know the answer I'm looking for.

Sorry to hear you found my attempt at levity so upsetting. I didn't realize your search for more information was such a serious matter.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck finding more information about the shoes. As @kbadgley84 said, it might help if we could see the serial/model/size stamp as well as the nail pattern on the heel, if there is one. A shot of the shoe itself might help as well.

Thank you dump shop. If anyone knows bikes learn me what I got here. I had a Masi for a little bit, was a CX bike.

Something has me excited...

You thrifted a Hattori Hanzo sword?

Hit a few stores this weekend but no dice. Stores are dried out. Even the local ones where I would get lucky once or twice a week have anything useful to resell.

Backlog from earlier this year. PPU $18

Found a few new Eidos pieces this year already.

Sold already.

My neighbour literally threw this out on the street. Tan Filson canvas tote. It’s gone through the wash since it was sitting soaked in the rain, waiting for it to dry. Got a new overnight / shopping bag ?

 

[Brianpore]

Brand new my size sure why not.

It should be pretty obvious from the logo shot; if you don't recognise that, then the model number is unlikely to help. I'm not fixated on finding out, just interested, that's all.

Some posts are simply not funny, nor original, and it is not the reader's fault if you have a lame sense of humour.

A Brooks Brothers sockliner tells us where the shoe was sold but it’s from the model number/ serial number/ size stamp and other features of the shoe that we learn it is, in fact, made by Alden. Its certainly worth investigating whether Terry Shoes is the Brooks Brothers to this shoe‘s, I don’t know, C&J maker. Nail patterns and other information might help.

Does the Lampo zipper feel "tinny" if you clink it with a ring or coin or something? If it sounds/feels hollow, thats a first tell. Ive seen so many great fakes of Lampo zippers but they just cant replicate how solid they are.
