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

[Nataku]

I'm gonna say fake on Moncler vest.that patch is all over the place .

Dang. Thanks for the input!

Oh well, It was cheap. Live and learn.

Very nice! The only deal that was better that I recall, is of a fellow on SF who posted a receipt of going to an invite-only TF sample sale, but it got permanently axed because his frat buddy’s dad spent 6 figures on stuff at over 90% off. After that abuse, the sales ended. It was mentioned in a thread on SF years ago.

The outlet was far away from DT so I never really bothered, but glad you got some amazing deals.

Dang. Thanks for the input!

I might be 3/4 into one but I agree, my spidey senesess have yet to fail me.

Glad to see someone is finding awesome clothing still. Haven’t found any decent clothes in a while now but still having decent luck on the random instruments and whatnot. This one seems to be as close to new as it can get without having tags on it. LTD edition that goes for $700...true thrift, about the price of a dominos pizza and order of breadsticks. Also sort of pictured in frame, another set of 80s Bosssse and 90s zassskar LE bike to add to my hoard of vintage speakers and bikes.

What zipper is on it?

 

[Nataku]

Has Lampo zips. Everything about it feels really substantial and high quality.

Could still be real. It's not like the embroidery patch on the real ones are laser sharp either.

I have a Canada goose branta Sydney. some here thought it was fake. Others (including members who really know their ****) thought it was real. My gut says it's real. Go with your gut.

If you're really curious, go to a store that carries a similar piece and compare. Did this with current black label at Neiman Marcus in SF. Wow, the stitching on one arm patch veered off the patch entirely. And this was at Neiman Marcus! Other than that, all the tags and labels matched perfectly.

Wishing this were Patagonia, but still no huge complaints. At least it;'s not that awful Goodfellow knockoff that's been fooling me for over a year...

I know the tailored stuff has tanked, but the casual stuff is still good, right?

I've made a point to stop picking up ties, but decided to make an exception for these.

You know what else had nice zippers ,the fake Prada purse and Givenchy I posted .
Look at the gaps ,they weren't even trying.
For comparison my real Sweater patch.

Going with your gut is fine if you're keeping it ,but he's gonna flip it.and if its a fake that's a problem.

Where's the certilogo and tags ,we can put this to rest right away.

 

[Nataku]

Actually that sounds about right. Timing is extremely crucial. Shelf life for the good stuff at most of the stores around here is 15-30 minutes.

 

[Nataku]

Here are the labels. Thought I had posted them but looks like they didn’t go through.

Also me when I pick up an obvious fake:
