The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Ehhm... got close-up pics of the labels?

+1. Those look like fakes to me.

And - two things that I'll return unless one of y'all wants them for cost+shipping. I'll return these if I don't get a PM from one of you in the next couple of days.

Ebbets Field Flannels navy jacket, M, in great shape EXCEPT it had patches all over it (including what looks like a Rainier Beer "R" on the breast). The patches were removed, but you can still see where they were stitched. Heartbreaking. I may just keep it regardless, but I'll probably return it unless one of you wants.

And this H Freeman & Sons sport coat in charcoal mini-herringbone, size 37S.

I can't flip it for anything, but it's an awesome jacket. Half lined, 3-roll-2, double vented, fully canvassed. If one of you wants it - ping me!

Pierre Balmain is the diffusion line of Balmain. Oddly, it sounds to me like it should be the other way around but it isn't. 

Gah, oh well. It's a really nice PS, and well made. So not a total loss.

Swear I had pics of the BBBF gray flat fronts I found, but I guess not....

EDIT: Who wanted that 7 fold tie to deconstruct? PM me, I might have something that might work.

Thanks--to be fair, most of the time the SS shirt rack doesn't have anything good (I think it's more typical for the best shirts on those racks to be a PRL or Lacoste polo).

thriftydood I almost always skip SS shirts unless I'm finding a lot of good stuff in one store. I think you've inspired me look more often. Awesome stuff.

Belts are real! Coach is a women's.

Now a question: is the Coach belt here for realz? There are no other markings on the belt or the buckle, but the buckle does look like real solid brass. Genuine?

I'm grateful if anyone can verify.

Just dropped a fat load at the tailor

Super duper tame, from what I hear, by "overseas" standards. Don't they have vending machines with used undies?

Thrift fit.

Etro
CT slim non-iron
Drakes cashmere
Unknown raw silk hand rolled
Trafalgar suede belt
Isaia aquachino*
Panthy wool blend
Bally suede

*Technically, following this picture, I changed the trou because I realized these don't fit me well, and I'll be parting with them soon. But what I did wear were Borrellis in the same color and material, so I feel like it counts.



Hit a few stores. Found the good Marshalls. Tons of Versace, Zegna, and other stuff. All massively overpriced. Is Costumes Nasionales any good? They had a decent silk knit crunchy tie. Did hit a few more stores. Borrelli shirt, Brioni tie and a handful of Paul Stuart custom made tweeds. No pics of those, but will be posting the highlights from the past few weeks later tonight.

Instacop for me!

Was it tagged 37s? Talk about being an unicorn size!

Indeed! But it'd be just right for a few folks on this thread.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is one of the many brands they sell at Urban Outfitters, nothing special. I had a windbreaker from them I bought (gasp!) new from UO waaaaaaaaaay before my time at SF, thing fell apart after about a month.

Brand name is "Feathers" low end items

Thanks Eazy and Tweets.



DM7 . those Balmains are I'm not a SW&D guy but I want!!. I do want to say your fit pic looks great but not feeling the blue polo.

Spoiler: Thrift Fit.

J Press Jacket, BR Shirt, Rooster tie, Uniqlo Trousers, all thrifted. Home made PS. Cole Haan shoes from Nordstrom Rack.

Nice. The light jacket over the blue pants is always difficult for me to pull off. I'll take a page from you next time I'm looking in the blue pants section!

 

[size 38R]

[mrcmcklwht]

My first pocket square, if thats what it is?

Bought this without trying it on, fit perfect when I got home. You can't return stuff to most thrifts her

I am on a self imposed thrifting moratorium until I get about another 50 things listed. My inventory backlog is killing me. FWIW I have sold a half dozen or so of Hermes PS and this one is legit! Nice pickup!

Found this pocket square in a V2 Versace sport coat. Time to play "Is This Thing Real?!"

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Yep that's a PS. Breuer is a very good brand too. Nice one.
