dudes, esp SPOO: in field. these real and worth several jacksons?
Seems like too much branding, but then brands go overboard often. That tag looks pretty low quality considering the brand, and that brown and gold "ribbon" for lack of a better term... I feel like Gucci would never cut off their name like that. They look kind of swap-meety. Hopefully I'm wrong, just my observations.

Can anyone help ID this tie maker? I know I've seen it before but can't make out the name. It is a fantastic tie

Look FAKE to me also, plus "several jacksons" is a lot if you're not 110% sure.


I totally forgot to take a picture of my "thrift rack" but there was plenty

What's the single best thing you've ever thrifted and how much was it?

For me, a Comme Des Garcon wool coat $4

For me, a $6000-7000 RLPL cashmere topcoat for $10. Something actually for myself, that is hanging in my closet? This:

Cost me $50 but worth every cent! Feels like wearing a cloud made of cashmere made from angle feathers.
edit: It's also got a belted back.
These are a close second, $9

Another question, what thrifted item have you worn the most? For me, besides some shoes and shirts, it's this vintage tweed blazer, one of the first that I picked up when getting into the thrifting game. The thing fit perfectly, right off the rack.
