The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Ken P]

Hoping you guys could help me out with this or atleast explain what I am looking at. A friend found it and I am keeping it for personal use. It is a j.press blazer with burberrys tags. Was there a time in which j.press was selling burberrys?

The union label puts in in the 70s to 80s range if I am correct.

Tagged a 42L, length is 32". If you want it let me know, the condition isn't top notch, though. I have more pics. I started the auction already but would gladly end it if you like it a lot.

Cross-posting from the Vintage Thread

Found a tuxedo jacket the other night. It was custom made by Leopald Morse in Boston Massachusetts. It is dated 1/14/1941 and was made for Mayor Maurice Tobin, mayor of Boston from 1938-1945. I found a photo online of Tobin along side of Massachusetts Attorney General Paul Denver at the Democratic Inaugural Dinner. Paul Denver was in office from 1935-1941. By cross referencing the data with the years of the Democratic Inaugural Dinners for FDR, (1933, 1937 and 1941), there is only one Inaugural Dinner where these two men would have been seen together while holding those offices. Just so happens, the Inaugural dinner is held January 19th (my birthday) the night before the actual Inauguration. While I can't say definitively, it would appear that the tuxedo I found was made for this event and delivered to Mayor Tobin just 5 days earlier. Wouldn't you wear your new suit to the big event? I would.

I have tracked down the owner of a 1941 Inaugural Dinner Menu and Seating Chart and am awaiting a response to see if I can place these two at the table.

Tobin is on the left.

Wow! This needs an award! Awesome piece with an incredible history behind it!!!

Also, you get SF props for your detective skills, Wes!!!!!!

And these linen pants badly in need of a pressing


I don't think I've ever seen JPG on this thread so did I do a bad thing

JPG might not have quite the panache it used to, but it's still a pretty cool find. If you don't feel like flipping and those measure anywhere near a 34/32-infinity, get at me.

Wasn't going to go anywhere this weekend (lack of funds till payday) but the lady was insistent we go somewhere today. A couple fall finds that are available

Vintage Woolrich Buffalo Check (size Small)

Hudsons Bay Wool Jacket (fits like a medium. This might be a women's with the purple lining of the sleeves but who knows. buttons the mens way)

Found my first Duchamp but passed because it was a total clown tie (and in not that good shape)

 

[SpooPoker]

Whoops.....that was probably a bad pass. How bad is "not that good of shape"? Show him the evidence Spoo...
