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

[Sartoriamo]

A few bits and pieces from the past week. Kind of a standard thrift potpourri.

Nice RL D&S white trucker.

I actually wore this out to an event right after kopping it, and it was only when I went to the men's room that I caught sight of the back of it in a mirror, lol.

I don't normally pick up Armani Exchange, but this trucker was a perfect fit and I've rocked it almost every day since.

Minty Orvis suede blazer. These always flip fast.

Vasque hiking boots, NWOT Uggs shearling slippers in my size and already fully in service, Tilley breathable hat.

Stone mint Burberry for the ladies. I haven't seen that very well-known-to-us manufacturer label on Burberry stuff before.

Another minty Orvis

Super cool duffle

Jhane Barnes

Bonkers pair of Ye Olde West retro pants from Tombstone Outfitters

Just J&Ms, but my size and almost free, so sure . . .

Patagucci

Seize Sur Vingt and deadbird

And you know these two. PERFECT fit (like I need another jacket). But I don't have a good DB, as it's tough to find one that doesn't make me look fat (er, properly drape on my torso), so these are the bomb.

I'm still waiting for the day I find Kiton tailoring. One shirt doesn't cut the mustard just yet.

Greetings, y'all... the sole stamps are worn off, can I get a brand assist here? I have compared it to Church's, C&J, JM Weston, Loake etc. but I cannot find a match on my shelves. It has a studded Dainite rubber sole with no other branding. I would think it's Church's, but with a different handstyle than the ones I have.
Thanks! View attachment 2061267

The sizing and last are Church's markings.

In the background of my Hermes sneaker post from the other day was a pair of Made in USA New Balance 990s
I cleaned them up: (Spoiler for before and after)

Working on those Hermes now.

Those are easy cash. Last pair I sold went for 85 clams.

Yeah that's why I picked them up. Knew they flip well and I enjoy working on shoes. These were fun to clean up

I'm wearing that exact 990 V3 model right now in 10.5 UK, I've never seen any at a shop yet but did see a women's version priced up pretty high. I've made more effort to buy Barbour jackets lately which seem to be doing okay if I get them for cheap.

Can anyone give me a legit check on these/any helpful info? First time finding a pair of PDs. Great condition, and seem quality but no experience with the brand doesn’t instill confidence entirely.

They are legit. All markings look correct.

Thank you, sir.

i just keep any USA NB in my size. anything less and i get hip and knee pain from daily walks. i used to wear the same merrells with vibram soles for years, but hardened vulcanized soles take a beating on the joints after a lot of miles.

Proof of life post lol

Whats up guys! Hope everything is great with all of you - nice to see all my friends from decades ago still at it and attacking racks. I haven't been in a thrift store in months but still thrifting in other ways I promised @bpk1 Id post this - a few nights ago, he texted me a link to a little known local auction site that had a boatload of menswear. He wasnt able to bid to pick up on the only day to collect the items so he thought of me. Luckily, I was, and Im very thankful he sent this on.

For $1385, I won 150 pieces of Bijan RTW, with just a handful of other brand exceptions, 56 ties, about 95% Bijan, 56 pocket squares, 99% Bijan, 13 shoes, 100% Bijan. All in at $5.03 PPU. Cant complain about that. Below are some highlights.
