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

That's not a little dent lol.
Sometimes those vintage camera straps are worth more then the camera .

Digging through my 120-day backlog, I just loved this Isaia suit: gonna have to put it in my own closet. DB and a perfect fit, flat front pants, MOP buttons, and I don't really have any good DB. Seems they are always, er, "too small". LOL. But 56 Euro in Isaia seems to fit my 44 R frame just fine, if, er, a hair trim.

The most interesting thing, though, was the internal label: "black sheep". Well, that would be me, of course, but going back to the item at hand, the only other place I had seen black sheep wool was Loro Piana's "Pecora Nera". I've never found that, but this will do just fine. So I guess this is a grail achieved.

Wow, even having worked at a tailoring house, I'v never heard of black sheep wool before. Very cool.

Yeah yeah yeah hahaha, I going to see if I can straighten it out a bit. And I did not know that, I'll have to look into the strap a little more.

Great little cameras. Super cool and somewhat collectable.

Only issue is the 'pad of death', which is replaceable, just a bit annoying. Fingers crossed this one is ok? https://elekm.net/pages/cameras/repair_pad_of_death.htm

Thanks for the link! It sounds like it’s working???

On a totally different note, here is a new one for me. Has anybody else come across Bike Boots before?

True thrift and half-off at that! I am close to completing my shell bingo card. I have found tassel, penny, PTB, captoe, long and short wings, boots and a belt. Still looking for a wallet and watch strap if you want to be persnickety.

Round up from Salvation Army's $2 all clothing sale.

IRO women's jacket.

Patrick James by Jack Victor(?)

Nearly jumped when I saw this sitting on the rack so late in the day. Has a minor defect, but I can't complain for $2

Beauty and Youth United Arrows.


And some other goodies from a nearby Goodwill

Rag & Bone Manston Bomber.

I had never heard of Hugo Boss's Tailored Collection. Seems to be fairly nice, to my surprise.
