The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[OlafG]

I decided to go ahead and give the Filson stuff a shot. They were all 70+% off retail and they can be returned if I can't flip them so it's worth a shot.

What I got this run:

NWT Filson Double Tin Bibs W30 and W34.
NWT Filson Mackinaw Field Pants W38 and W42.

There is still some more stuff so I'm thinking about going back. A few more bibs in different sizes, like W46, W44 and I think W36. Flannel Lined Pants W34.

I also found a Filson Outfitter Jacket in Otter Green wool. Inside the jacket it says both made in US and made in Canada so I'm a bit confused.


PM me if interested in anything.

I mean, Canada's pretty much part of America, right?

That's pretty hilarious though. I would think it's fake, but that's not accurate. I wonder how often those mistakes are made.

downTown, yourself?

What part of Hamilton is considered downtown now, Barton? King and Dundurn? I'm in Waterloo now, but I grew up right beside Hamilton.

Yah, Keep it.  

 "Why thrift if you can't keep some nice things for yourself??".

enjoy it.

Oh, but I do keep a lot... When you spend 15+ hours in thrift shops each week, you're bound to find a lot of awesome stuff. I'm going to hang onto it and see if it fits into my wardrobe. It needs to be cleaned anyway, so I may as well enjoy it for a while even if I do sell it.

 

[wilay05]

I usually keep an item a week...but then I usually wear it for a little bit and sell it.

 

[vexco]

I rarely find an item per month that fits me the way I want. 4-5 shirts from my last haul fit me well though and I'm definitely keeping them, since it's so rare for me.

Absolutely gorgeous day in Toronto. Might snow tonight though

It's kind of a dingy worn white shirt, but still awesome

I have kept 4 articles of thrifted clothing in the last 3 years. Everything else is on a constant rotation.

Brooks Brothers Blue Birdseye Suit by Lardini
Harris Tweed Gray Herringbone Sport Coat
Woolrich Gray Twill Plus Fours for my golf thrift fits, will hold them until I have something better.

TO KOP or NOT TO KOP....

NAD C 320BEE Amplifier
B&W DM601 S3 Main Speakers and another pair that look smaller but the same

 

[Nataku]

Kop!

Grab both pairs of B&W speakers too.

Picked one of these up a year or two ago on instinct. Sold it and was so glad I picked it up. Found another today. I was feeling until I saw there was no power cord. It does have the photo board thing that my other one was missing. I'm gonna buy a replacement power supply and have my fingers crossed that it works!

So I bought a generic power supply off eBay for $20 shipped. Epson wanted $50+ for a replacement. Power supply came today. It powers up and works!
