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

[txwoodworker]

Week highlights
'71-88 logo, USA made starter

Boss has dropped off a cliff, but interesting collab

Still buying RG when it's wild and cheap. Long gone are the days of 150+ on these.

Another Alden NST, not shell this time, and pop for me on Vass

Retail 100% not justifiable on these, I have to assume they come free with a $20K mattress as a "$450 value"

Cash silk on the Brioni

 

[Centaurus3200]

Blind bid at an estate sale.
Well over 1000 pieces .
Just off the top...

LOL! only you Frenchie!

obviously the watch haul is insane. dig the Canon P. i still have my Canon IVS2 rangefinder. don't have the nerve to mess with it, but it's such a beautiful piece of gear. it just sits looking pretty on a display shelf.

As far as the watches I won't bore you with the pedestrian stuff (about 100 of them mostly brand new Citizens from the 90s)
The watches all runn ,all except Omega .it's rough.
The pocket watches one was 14k solid ,about 13 were gold filled .
The one with the red hour hand is pre Omega L.Brandt.(the founder )
5 are solid silver including two extremely rare ones from 1700,s.
The last two .

I was at a garage sale and asked “Ya have any old records for sale?” Then this happened….

It’s been a minute. Kids have been keeping us busy! Haha. My wife (who is better at technology than I am) fixed my picture resolution on my new phone so they aren’t so massive and will actually upload now. I also finally got around to going through these records and figuring out what to keep and what to sell. Here’s the keepers and some highlights.

 

[LaundryRoom]

A few recent finds...

Lefroy pants

1993 union-made Arctic Vest, minty

Couple of nice button-downs...

Some selvedge for LaundryRoom, Jr.

Found another PRL suit, must've belonged to the same guy as the previous one from last week.

The interior tag is sewn on upside-down...

Wimminz swiftwater rain jacket

I found this in the wimminz section, also... "The Pathfinder Jacket"

I like their stock photo...

That's a nice jacket .how's the fit TTS?

Pop on Filson Mackinaw. Not much wear, this one is going into my closet. (As if I needed more outerwear here in Dallas.). Looks to be a beauty from maybe the eighties?

Shockingly, yes it is. This one's a 42, which is what I wear, and it fits perfectly, not vanity sized like so many other TS items.

That's a beauty!

That one's called the Mackinaw Coat. Not a cruiser jacket, technically, because it doesn't have the rear map pocket across the back, nor the same four snap pockets. Still an awesome hunting jacket.

Not 80's, though. See the tag? The "1003" is the production date. Yours is from October 2003.

Some recent stuff. Haversack mysteriously went from my backlog into my wife’s closet…

Ross! How TF you been man? You were the first person I ever messed with from SF... Hell that must've been 2012 ish... Crazy to think that was a decade+ ago. Shoot me a DM if you want, or I think i've still got you on FB.

PS finally saw steel panther a few months ago, was epic as you informed me and i came to expect, hahaha.

Wowowow brother welcome back! Yeah I'm still here and kicking! Nothing changed but also everything changed. I'll DM you, but yeah you also have me on fb

 

[jpmorrisUM2]

I don't have one! Lets see some pics!
