I only pick up Hilfiger when it is made in Italy and only for myself. 

The good H Hilfiger stuff is the early Made in Italy stuff. After they established the brand, they started sending it to China and the other lesser places.

Xenos: Thanks!

I use oxy clean stain remover that comes in a squirt bottle to remove the price coding marker. If it's directly on the tag, it should come off easily. When they mark directly on the fabric it's a real ***** to get out.

Sweet borrelli find by the way!

Above is my previous post of my setup. I now have added (2) 8 foot processing tables and about 16 more linear feet of hanging space. I have a problem.
Speaking of processing, I need a better system for measuring. My back was killing me after going through about 40 items on Saturday. I need a way to measure while sitting down, so I'm thinking of buying a card table that I can sit at in an office chair and measure everything without having to bend or lean over very far. No idea how some of you guys do 100+ items every weekend.

An angled drafting table will probably be better. You won't have to hunch over your work so far, even sitting down.

50% off? That's what we were doing and ignoring the unpacking from February's move! Hit Kerrisdale, Marpole, MacDonald Sally Ann's. Posted some but not all. Odd not one pair of Ferragamo's on the floor. First time for that.

what Canadian dialect are you speaking? You were surprised that there were no Ferragamo's on the floor; and this is the first time this happened? What thrift consistantly stocks Ferragamo's?

A few interesting things this morning, not all photographed...

1. Vintage Woolrich Buffalo Plaid shirt. Didn't see the hole in the arm until I took the tag off... Oh well, guess it's mine now unless anyone wants a medium with a small hole below the back of the left elbow.

2. Royal Classic for Tom James silk tie. Burgundy with US Flags. Available
3. Picked up an REI Polartec 200 jacket (yes, it's old; made in USA old) for my dad.
4. LL Bean light fleece pullover. Hard to resist for 50% off tagged price. For myself.
5. Vintage 60s/70s Sears Hawaii shirt. Good condition too. Going to the Bay since it's not my size.
6. Marmot Fleece jacket. Excellent condition. Women's XS (available if anyone needs a nice fleece for their honey)
7. Vintage James Pringle wool vest. (edit... Just figured out that it's not the same Pringle. But it's still a nice wool vest and fits me like a glove.)
