The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[HansderHund]

Not a lot today. Three of the stores I visited were closed for the Easter weekend, so I was pretty limited.

Prada pants, my size. Keeping for now.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Conte of Florence golf bag shirt.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Pringle polo

Silk pocket square:

This is actually one of those souvenir sqaures (not a scarf). I never buy them, but I loved the colors of this one. Machine stitched and no content, but almost certainly linen or a linen/cotton blend.

Anyone recognize this label?

Finally made some finds today when the lady and I were out in the suburbs getting some things done. Everything is available.

Hickey Freeman made in Italy wingtips. 7D (not sure how a size 7 does but they were cheap)

Hickey Freeman suit 42S (this is somewhat recent label yes?)

Vintage Bemidji Woolen Mills coat. 46.

Gant Rugger The Woolster flannel. L (thanks DeadBoy) Size tag is cut off but looks unworn. Sadly a little too big for me.

I thought the lick test was the best way to tell. Didn't the thread come to a consensus that was the most accurate?

ilikelights I have that exact Gant Rugger Woolster shirt. It's great for cool weather days. Mine is a large... if you PM me the P2P I can tell you what size it is.

Horrible, no one wants size 7. What 10 year old kid wears nice shoes like that anyway. We have big landfills here in NJ so you can just send them to me to dispose of for you.

Quote: Shirt is def on the slimmer side so the T-Rex arms (32.5) should work for someone I think without much trouble. Came as a 'free' bonus with this guy below (which wasnt cheap), but should flip nice.













PS - Sorry for 2 posts in a row

Sweet! I'm a big proponent of jeans/tie combination!

Thanks man! Sort of a dress down day at work, I was obviously still overdressed with no tie requirement, but I think the tie brings it together.

Found a SC, "Neosartioriale Lubiam 1911" Just wondering where it fell in the Lubiam line-up. Lining damaged in a few places.

Anyone recognize this label? ***Edit: Norman Hilton, thanks MZHammer!









Passed on a Helmtut Lang White label shirt, had damage (hole, pulls, staining), a bunch of Tom James Filo a Mano SC's, suits, Navy blazers, a pair of fugly squaretoe Mezlan shoes


Stuff I DID pick up: Allen Edmonds Belt (avail) & a football to keep in the trunk for the impromptu game of catch

Still in town I see??

Haha long story, but yes I am around. Plans are still to move up to Boston, but waiting for some things to line up.

This is for the mechanics and the folk art lovers. This mechanics/work bench was in a charity thrift (the kind where street people come to get equipped). It was completely covered with auto and dealer badges. I thought it would be great in a tavern or diner setting but it would probably get stripped in a week.

Awesome! I also spy badges from 3 cars I have owned in the past (Ford Mavrick, Plymouth Duster and the long forgotten Mercury Bobcat which was their version of the Pinto).

Awesome! I know nothing about audio stuff, but remember seeing a reel-to-reel here recently. Saw this today, any good? I can go back for it.

I'd say pass. Worth maybe $30-$50. The one's you're looking for will look crazy with tons of knobs or gauges. Like this:

One find today. Red Wing Ansi Z41 steel toe Logger boots. Black. 9D. Vibram soles. First pair of Red Wing boots I've ever come across that didn't look like they've been to hell and back 3 times. The soles show very little wear. Available

What I like is that there are some local dealers badges plus one from Carroll Motors Durango (Co). There are probably more on the other sides.

Lol, don't let SF's hatred for tie/denim steer you away from wearing whatever the hell you wanna wear!
