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

[greekgeek]

I didn't even think about what it might do to my eBay selling

To be seen

Only USA made merch in one direction would be included, Canadian made merch in the other.

Great one stop yesterday

And three! Pops. A cold wall, and wander and descendant, all my size

Have heard of these but never really looked into em. Great obscure jp labels to learn about. Thanks

Something old and something new(er).

True vintage 1920s/30s O'Shea Knitting Mills game-worn football jersey.

I typically pass on PRL polos, but this is a killer, Japanese inspired patchwork thing. Totally mad it doesn't fit me.

Love that O'Shea!

Found this week. USA made oilcloth PRL.

Work's been slammin' lately, hard to make time, but here's a few recent finds...

Fifth Aves

These will clean up nicely...93602 (from a GW I don't hit very often; These have been on the shelf since before Thanksgiving)

MiUSA BB, sweet peak lapels, double vented...N/A

I'm not an expert on vintage Eddie. Anyone got ideas as to its age? @eazye ? @Fueco ? @Nataku ?

I'm not as much as an expert as those guys, but I'd say 60s / early 70s based on that tag. Killer find.

 

[eazye]

Yeah that sounds about right

After a quick cleaning...

Lol. Yup. Although I'd say that experience still plays a huge roll in this. For example I now understand more about current styles and not to pick up on brand alone.

Definitely! There's been times where I've had a matter of seconds to make a decision to grab something, and that's where the experience really comes into play. I've also seen these kids at the thrifts pass up on really great stuff. Then again, half the things they're after I wouldn't even give a second look at. Guess that goes both ways. Haha

Wow, great haul! What's the size on that double Mackinaw cruiser? 👀

I think it was a 44. Even had the original tags in the front pocket. Unfortunately that one sold rather quick.

Lol I remember when you used to dance around the flipper label like it was a minefield .
I'm not gonna be so humble right now and take credit for being one of the few first to just say it lIke it is and admit I'm buying this for a dollar and selling it for two and if you don't like it you can shimmy up a rope pal.
Everybody was doing it but very few were admitting it , i know Spoo and 330CK were open about it and a few others.

Ah yes, I remember that well. I do remember after awhile more and more folks started chatting about resale prices and whatnot and it sort of became common place. I recall the OG thrift thread folks would often complain about the resellers at their local stores. I tried to lay low.
