The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

E-thrift: Look like shell. If so, they'll go nicely with the shell Aldens I grabbed at lunch.

Shoutout to @Jompso for the tip on the Gleener fuzz remover. Works good on sweaters but I found another potentially great use. It does an amazing job on removing "dry clean shine". I just used it on a Huntsman suit that had some gnarly shine and it reduced it like 80% - 90% so far. Just use the finer guards which are like a sandpaper material. Bed Bath and Beyond carries them for $19.99 here.

Mine arrived a couple days ago, also purchased on the thread advice from @Jompso . Haven't tried it yet - was afraid to screw anything up - but good to know others have had positive results - will be using it soon!

I'm hoping he'll embroider Wardrobe across one cheek and Renovations across the other so I can start modeling my stuff

Or star in the sequel to The Bone Ranger.

This is new to SF, right? I dig it. (Or have I just never noticed it until last night?)

As for flipping Pyrex: you need to know the patterns.

Should we look for something like this?

Big shoutout to @Ace_Face for a super recent and awesome EZ trofeo cashmere SC that was 10x better than I expected. With my strict one-in-one-out policy it will easily replace a similar Hugo Boss that I bought just a few days after discovering what a thrift store is ahah (don't mock me guys

)

This kind of stuff gets me excited. Seeing this on the rack, fresh from the 90s. Available if anyone is interested.

I can respect this policy, essentially replacing the one you have with a better one. Smart, smart.

That's weird as hell. I'm not sure whats going on with those.

I'm sure we've all seen these people...loading up with Tommy, Merona, Abercrombie, and Hollister...

Just got to the counter with a sick green plaid kiton sc only to see 4 fuckin moth holes in the back

If you ever find anything like that in a 42/44L for cheap, I would probably proxy. I picked up an as-is Kiton from somewhere here that I love and wear for "everyday".

If you are actually interested, I can throw together a post about Pyrex. Let me know.

Minor pop.

That looks unique - can't wait to see the whole thing!

Fo sho.

Was just about to post that... glad it's not my imagination.


Part of a tie lot, bought the whole thing because of this. May have posted already, just took the bay pics.

Unfortunately, it's a big streetwear brand. Do a Google search for "pyrex vision."
