The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[JackFlash]

Polo Benchmade in England. Can any help ID the maker? Also, any tips on cleaning nubuck?

Suede eraser is a start as Wes said, also a suede brush and I've had great success with the Saphir suede shampoo. Don't know if any other brands produce a shampoo. The Saphir is expensive but it works and a little goes a long way.

Wes, is the Donna Karen a St Andrews piece?

What the size on the DK and Etro?

I shipped out a few trades today including one to japan where I overpaid shipping by 20 dollars because I used one of the USPS envelopes instead of an unlabeled one... Of course the guy tells me that AFTER he already threw it in the back. It would have been more like 10-15 bucks saved since I would have needed to buy their supplied right there, but dammit!!! That was an expensive package to get out! So I decide to go drown my sorrows in thrifting and came up with only one notable item. Guys is this a thing?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Of course it is!

HOLY ****. that's nothing. you should just give it to me.

I found this at the same store I found an Our Legacy Jacket in a few months ago. This is bizarre though. It's a 3/4 sleeve jacket. I like... don't even know how to describe it. Size is like a 36-38. I can put it on, but it's small for me. It's lime green. I'll take better pics when I have sunlight.

Available btw.

I'm too lazy to find this in their past collections but if you have some free time...

Picked up a sport coat by Doriani yesterday. Anyone seen this stuff in the wild?

Still, 9(ish) Salvatore Piccolo shirts are a hard pass at what I paid. There is hand stitching EV. RY. WHERE.

Piccolo shirts are amazing. They get way less attention than they deserve;

+1. I picked up a Piccolo flannel shirt off of Yoox for peanuts and the handwork is up there with Borrelli but with a much slimmer cut.

Looked through what I could on there and didn't find anything. They only go back to like 2012. Is the brand that young?

Thanks for the link!

I (and I assume you) meant old Borrelli, too. Hand linked collar. Hand sewn button holes. Hand linked shoulders, arm holes, placket, gusset. It's incredible how much handwork there is.

PSA:

Walgreens had some mixed up socks in a big bin. They looked decent and we're 5 for $5 so I grabbed a bunch. I didn't expect much from a $1 sock but they really weren't that bad feeling and had decent patterns.

When I opened them up, I noticed a bunch were polo. They look exactly like the polo socks I have purchased elsewhere so I'm sure they aren't fakes. I guess the factory has left overs and sells whichever brands they manufacture but leaves them unbranded.

They were at my local Walgreens so maybe check yours. Someone posted something like this before but with polo shirts instead. Just wanted to let you guys know.
