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

I see you employ the ol’ cropdusting and not bathing trickery. Well played! Some old timers around here do that and it is very effective at keeping their personal space safe. @impuntura

Strange shirt. From a brand called Jeff Hamilton. Made in USA, workwear details, one piece collar, and unbelievably oversized (p2p ~ 27in, shoulders ~ 25in). Tagged size Small lol.

Anyone know anything about this?

@Reosymes Jeff Hamilton is known for making custom leather jackets and patchwork leather jackets. A lot of them for sports teams and for championship seasons etc.

Building on that - his most notable would be the jacket Kobe is wearing after his championship
a favorite of rappers, too (he was on stage during the Dipset vs Lox Verzuz battle)

Looking for a little help from the thread. Today my wife spilled oil based salad dressing on one of Hermes scarves (purchased on consignment, not full priced of course.). I am looking at a Website

Which seems to be good idea but I am hesitant to try it.
I am also hesitant to bring it to any local dry cleaners, even the pricey ones.
I seem to recall a tie cleaning specialist although it may have been on AAAC, not here.
Looking for advice and I would rather spend $50 and get it done right but maybe not over $100.
Appreciate your thoughts.

Found a couple 80s snap backs at a sale today and grabbed this one. No label or markings, but pattern looks oddly familiar. Ring a bell for anyone?

 

[Purplelabel]

They’re so diddy.
