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

[Nataku]

We need to make like an official "Nataku Haul Bingo Card":

Vintage Audio / Hifi Piece - X
Dusty Moth Eaten Wool Item - O
There's always an Isaia - X
Big Tweed 1940's Overcoat - X
Vinyl Record(s) of note - X
A Vintage Pendleton Item - X
Pictures of moldy barn where stuff was hauled out of - O

I can’t remember if I had posted this or not, so maybe this will count as dust moth eaten wool item.

50’s car club jacket.

Tried really hard to keep this one, but it got away from me already. Just sold it to a local car club collector who had its brother. I’ll probably kick myself down the line, but it was nice to get it into the hands of someone who really appreciated it.

Still catching up from page 3000, decided to skip everything before that, but I'm sure it was all great.

Handful of stuff from today, not sure I've ever hit the Filson Hermes combo before.


Z Zegna Shirt Jacket at a place that is quickly becoming a favorite.


Allen Edmonds Chukkamok, surprisingly cheap from GW.

I’ve started an Instagram as a record of some of the things I’ve found @cam_finds

Yesterday I managed to snag a black almost birdseye Boglioli suit for £9. A couple of ties and some lululemon shorts and tees for my friend. Found some RLPL chinos in tan size 34 for £20. Also got a Church’s belt. Will get photos up when I get back.

I’m planning on thrifting him a wardrobe and his amazed at what I’m finding so far.

Also, anyone have any suggestions about how to clean ties? The green and blue Hermes has a stain but it was cheap so couldn’t resist taking it home at £3.

Have you tried scratching it off? That looks like a surface level stain. I've found like 80% of stains can be dealt with with a little steam and a clothes brush.

Adding that i've had success with a warm water compress and spot clean as needed
great finds!

Always check the textiles section. This is one of the cooler finds the past year, NWT Pendleton Beaver State blanket.

It's not Tweed but it'll do

If that isn’t a Christmas holiday party dinner jacket nothing is.

Today has been pretty solid. Lots of this was half off pricing too…

Just hanging at the end of a t-shirt rack in a super busy GW, just minding its own business….

Reversible leather/tweed Ralph Lauren Blue Label down vest with game pouch on the back. Badass.

That $3.24 price is unbelievable.

The first time I find tailored jackets at any second-hand store that are actually close to my size, and they're not just vintage, they're antique. From before even the century before I was born. Never tell me the odds.

Idk why one side is longer than the other. Thats odd. But I can definitely work with this, it shares a color with a sport coat I have so some of the stuff that goes with that will go with this. I've got a black velvet waistcoat that'll really look good with this, and so will the staple black boots, black pants, and white french cuff shirt I was already eventually gonna get. I've even found some starched collars.

Highest armhole on anything I've ever worn. No, I am not doing the "roman salute". Not on purpose. This jacket was actually a little too small, so I resolved to sell it to a guy even smaller than I am who is into that kind of antique stuff. You'll notice the pipings come off, so not in peak condition, and neither was the frock coat, it had a couple of small holes.

The outfit without either jacket. Was going for a Buster Keaton vibe.
