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

[Letric]

@Letric I would most likely (albeit with gritted teeth) have left that pair also, just because of the "Deal-With Factor". Head grease will often come out with Lexol, but there's too much damage to the leather in too many places, and at least one of the armrests needs reupholstered. So yeah, even at that low entry cost, just too much work needs to be done. Infuriatingly, you can tell that whoever owned these simply didn't GAF about them.

Yep exactly. If the base condition of the leather was better I would have grabbed and restored to resell, although yeah the "deal with factor" on those was high due to size and color. If they were the same model and color as the one I'm sitting in currently I would've bought at least 1 to make a pair.

I also already have a lot of high end furniture and rugs just stacked and stockpiled so eh. I'm not a dealer just a hoarder.

Will be the last you find...at least for a long time.

Italian financial police have seized €800,000 before all assets could be stripped by a Chinese business and now four people in jail. A lot of people out of work in that business, unfortunately.

Too bad it looks like a real nice shirt. Quick look shows retail is absurd.

Some shirt details.

Does anyone know why the bottom four inches or so extends like that?

 

[Letric]

Ooh those AE strands. I don't know what it is about Strands but they just look damn nice.

They really are. Sadly the AE heelcup just does not work for me.

That is one hell of a sweater!

Yeah, I would love to know this too . . . I've been doing this thrifting thing for a quarter century, and over that time I have run across maybe a dozen shirts with this type of tailoring. I've tried Googling multiple times, but ya know, it's all about the search terms. Or knowing a custom shirter, which I don't. So I'll be happy for the answer too . . . .

Could it be so that if you’re flying low, your decency is still in tact??

the thom browne line from brooks bros - black fleece - had this detail on the dress shirts . it's a part of the 'tails' of the shirt afaik to keep everything in line . like if the shirt rides up it wont' split open on the bottom where it tucks in
