That looks like a very interesting brown yarn.

I'd take the Arc'teryx jacket next to it instead, even with peeling logo.

The only time I’ve ever (and likely will ever) found Carol Christian Poell I literally ran over the boots with my cart.

So in addition to “always check the womens section” I guess uhhh always check the floor?

Who's feet were they on?

inspired by the iconic frames of il Commandantori himself, #201 of an edition of 350.

sadly have prescription lenses but def worth having some made for me.

I've always liked that Larry Bird jersey guy who owns that brownstone. I like how he's just living his life not bothering anybody yet all these other people are so offended by his even existing.

Be sure to wear blaze orange when going out into the woods with that one.

I found a minty Singer Featherweight sewing machine under a rack one time when I accidentally kicked it with my size 13s. $20 out the door and made my wifes day.

I'll throw a "items found on the floor" story in:

Years ago when my Dad, Brother and I started thrifting together we knew of brands like Zegna, Brioni, etc but we were just starting out and hadn't found a ton of stuff like that.

It was on a day where I was not with them, but my Bro and Dad went to a thrift store and my brother saw a nice looking plaid sport coat on the floor beneath a jacket rack in the dust. He picked it up and it was made by some brand called "Kiton" that I don't think any of us had heard of before. It was purchased and later i think we discovered its' value and further researched the brand, etc and that led to many rabbit holes of research.

Probably 11 years ago. I remember thinking the big red dot on the Kiton label above the i looked kinda odd, like it was a 7-Up logo or something lol.

... least you found a kitty SC.

I ended up selling that one for $416 long ago... I've found a Kiton 180s striped suit jacket, shirts, ties.. but still have not properly popped Kiton tailoring like that sport coat or a suit.

Damn! Good eye! Sadly a women’s but my girlfriend was happy to take it off my hands. ☺️
