Uninteresting Ebay fodder from the last week not pictured.

NWOB Stubbs & Wootton needlepoint slippers.

Damn those are cool.

True thrift?

True thrift, though higher than normal thrift prices.

Those are amazing. That's still one of my top goals....one day.

...that moment when something you've been watching for nearly a week with no activity gets spotlighted in the PTO roundup...

Was it the Ric Flair championship belt?

Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian thrifters!
I hope there is plenty of back bacon and beer going around, ya' hose heads!

I was hesitant to do this, because I have had a transaction go well with this user previously. I think 2 months with no communication or the traded item would grant the approval of this.

I traded an MMM sportcoat to Vexco for a suit and shirt on 5/5. I sent the garment on 5/5 and it was received on 5/8 (stated in PM's by Vexco)

I sent a PM in late May and early June and he has yet to respond. He has been online since those messages have been sent, and previous communication was immediate up to this point.

Please advise, be very careful with trades with Vexco (If he shows up again)

I know I have few posts, but I have been here since 2/13. 

I bought a shirt from him and it took a little bit of time but it came through. No problems.

Does anyone have good tips for thrifting in the Miami area? I will travel north or south of Miami as well

All you need to know is on google maps. No secret spots that I know of.

Travel in a car with comfortable seats and bring something to listen to, because traffic in Miami sucks and the stores aren't all too close together. Also, be ready to pay for parking in several areas.

South beach, downtown, and some areas outside of the downtown area are all pay to park. I hate it. The tickets are only $18 though and the hourly rate is $2 an hour. I always risked the ticket.

Also make sure you have a gps, smart phone, or speak Spanish in case you wander into hialeah.

Only one purchase from Sierra Trading Post worth note for most of you. I got a Gitman Bros sport shirt at a very nice price in my size.

I just bought these and while they were more than I wanted to pay, I was willing to pay $55 shipped for a pair of FF linen Zegna pants in my size.

My question: are these Incotex and/or Couture? The waist band in the back is split and the connecting strip of fabric has those star symbols that we see on couture items.

I've done a trade with Vexco and it took awhile, I got frustrated a few times but it ultimately worked out. He'll ship it I just would prefer if ppl actually reply when they see the message there.

Now here re some finds.
N/A fits like a glove






Incotex (POP)

Quick question - Any idea which maker's tag is this? It's from a suit by Gieves&Hawkes RTW, made in Italy (curiously)...


Sorry for the bad pic, snapped with a phone and in a hurry...
What is the overall quality of these G&H RTW suits, anyways?
I've seen quite a few in thrifts around here (Edinburgh, Scotland)

Anyone know what happened to Vexco and Towers?

I have a deal pending with @vexco at the moment. I haven't gotten any responses lately, but he's prone to a hiatus pretty frequently.

Somebody got into and quickly out of the lift edit: light wash denim trend. I picked these up at one of the most hit or miss spots I have in chicago. APC denim and Etro knit.

Belvest

Thanks for the quick reply!
What's the quality, then? The fully canvassed stuff similar to Belvest Mainline, and the half-canvas to their silver label?
