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

is it still a thing in tailoring resale to highlight the maker vs the label ?

 

[eazye]

Yes.

I get more for Martin Greenfield Brooks Brothers than I do for regular Brooks Brothers.

When did hickey start making things for everyone? Last month I picked up a Paul Stuart jacket with an HF label and I just saw this a few days ago.

Same parent company.

ugh I want this exact bag so bad.

There's someone in Sydney Australia selling a black Bayswater for $250AUD on Facebook marketplace. I'll DM you

My vote goes Cantarelli too.

 

[Voidoid]

I remember on the vintage cantarelli tag there was the name of the company written.
Also it may be some obscure maker that never made big.

 

[Ich_Dien]

Only Cantarelli put that solid square around the size.

 

[Juntao90]

Is Cantarelli generally good stuff? I feel like the two Cantarelli sport jackets I’ve thrifted are some of the nicest in cut and lapels that I’ve found.

e-thrifted an LP icer coat with a missing collar, anyone know if LP sells replacements?

I tried this many years ago when I lived in the Boston area and there was an LP store on Newbury Street. They wanted to see the original purchase receipt and then the hood was going to cost as much as I would get for reselling the coat. It also had to be pretty much current, as they are always changing their fabrics and cuts. So I passed.

I had managed to squeeze a few LP-branded buttons out of them one time (for my first Horsey jacket, like 20+ years ago), but that was before eBay reselling of LP stuff was as commonplace as it is now, and they got all snooty unless you were Logan Roy.

Ever since, I've purloined all the little button baggies from every LP piece I've found, so I have a ton of 'em now. Can't help you with a hood, but if any of you are missing a button on an LP piece, feel free to HMU. I have found Loro outerwear only once in years here in AZ. Used to pick it up all the time in New England . . . But I still have the buttons . . .

^ Yep just my thoughts. A replacement hood would probably cost $600+ if they even offered it. You would have to be a longtime customer with a lot of spend history for them to even give you the time of day in that Boston store. Visited a few years ago and they had a full length Vicuna overcoat on display in the front window. I'm gonna guess MSRP was over $80,000.

*Edit: Uhp nope my bad, it's an absolute steal at $33,000:

I asked about getting a nutria fur collar for a traveler jacket I got at an estate sale a month ago or so and they quoted me around $500. Didn’t go through with it (for obvious reasons) so I’m not sure if they would ask for the original receipt, I told em it was a gift…

Also @Sartoriamo would you happen to have any spare zippers? Need one for that same jacket

Quick stop and pop on Turnbull Asser for me. There was a second but stained. This one has french cuffs so fingers crossed.

Bonus catch and release lego bins about 300 each they had 3.
