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

[330CK]

finally getting around to photographing some stuff from the last few weeks. 2 cool suitcase - 1 alu rimowa, 1 dror studio for tumi

 

[Basso]

can anyone reply to this with the link to "the method" I think it's called? It's the cleaning method that works reaaall good. I remember reading about it a few thousand pages ago.

My wife works for a business unit of that parent company. She has the same bag. It was a Christmas gift for the employees. I wanted to remove the embroidery and sell it, but she wasn’t having it!

If your wife has an extra one, I’mjust a DM away lol

"You know, what I'd really like to find is something from Kiton."

Oh?

*the monkey's paw curls*

Oh...

I'm going to be traumatized by this for awhile. Gotta wonder what it must be like to have the cash to buy something like this new and treat it with such little regard...

@carreragt7 with the jeans, I hate to disappoint, but they were not Levi's - don't even remember what they were anymore. They were from an obscure, but otherwise unimpressive brand.

@silverwarebandit huh, hadn't considered the possibility that these were display models as well. Or perhaps used for product photography or something where it was helpful for them to be oversized? I suppose that's a less depressing explanation that someone actually needing a size 72.

This isnt exactly relatable but you dont know how many times I am have seen a pair of Big E Levis that have been turned into cut offs for no reason at all (Never Nude). Other than being as rich as these people who destroyed a Kiton SC. I dont get it, but to each their own. SH

 

[carreragt7]

@iconicmuck rich fool should’ve gone to John Wick’s tailor…

And I’m glad to hear the larger jeans weren’t Levisss

@cpmac7 if they’re legit Big E I’m sure they’d still sell well to some denim head that also likes Jorts. I’d never leave them. Which reminds me, I popped on ironhearrrt a couple months back. Jeans cut into shorts. Next day I went back and found same size jeans that hadn’t met the same fate along with a nice denim jacket from Indigoferrra. Hadn’t seen much selvedggge stuff, vintage or otherwise in quite some time.

Another non clothing find, needed a very deep cleanup, but well worth it… not thrift, but about about 1/2 of what it should have been.

I mean... holy moley. That's one of the best thrift record hauls I've ever seen. And all absolutely 100% up my alley, too. I may die of jealousy. What say I... TRIPLE YOUR MONEY?!

Moved to a location where I never expected to continue thrifting to any notable degree. Today just completely proved that false. Price per record $2.59. This was one stop, albeit at a shack not a thrift. Most are first pressings.

These are limited edition box sets. View attachment 1878817

I’ve been looking for this for years.

And then decided to make one quick stop at a thrift and these talon era mackinaw pants were sticking out of a rack. Today was a good day.

What is the quality of Barba Napoli sport coats? I know them for their shirting but are their tailoring offerings on par with other Neopolitan houses?

 

[wumpyfish]

at least they are not fused

Barba Napoli Sportcoats

Are there sportcoats and suits fully canvassed? I can't find any info on quality and construction. Thanks

wowowow. Finding tool truck anything for a good price is unreal

50 cents each today.

Haunting words for me...

Haunting words for me...

It’s probably the brand I’ve seen the least of as well. Even found an Attolini suit before I found anything of Kiton tailoring.

I would like to share my favourite ethrift from past week. Dege&Skinner double breasted overcoat, my guess is camel from the feel. Size is small to medium. It was probably made for Oman's staff in their London buildings as Dege&Skinner makes a lot of uniforms. I can't help myself to stop thingking whether the coat may have belonged to the previous Sultan of Oman.

I think Dege&Skinner won't reply to my message on their instagram but I found this post. It seems as the same coat in terms of cut, lapel holes... They call it "vicuña overcoat" so it can be first vicuna for me. I wouldn't belive that it they would make 100% vicuna coat for servant in Oman. They marked Scabal as the maker of the fabric. Is there someone who can confirm that fabric on the picture seems like 100% vicuna made by Scabal?

Would 100% vicuna coat from Savile Row made for Sultan attack the value of crococodile Belstaff jacket? 😅
