The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Gucci loafers, they don't fit so im selling em for cheap.

Anyone see denim cortez before? they seem to be pretty rare.

Frazetta tee from 1980, limited edition levis tee and a dunhill belt.
I found a ton of vintage tee shirts, funny thing about those is they seem to have more demand and value than a lot of the tailored shirts people go crazy for on here and they are just crappy old t shirts.

Good price for someone. If it measured like a true 36 I would have bought it. Measures more like a 38 though. Seller has it listed as the wrong size.

Thanks for the mention! The fit is spot on for me except the fcuking trousers are too short!

I heard having your pants end at mid-calf was all the rage?

That's the worst, though, probably 90% of the suits I try to thrift for myself don't work because the pants aren't long enough. And my inseam is only 33.

Bad-ass. Where would a guy go to learn more about vintage tees - SW&D?

It would have to be taken in a bit, but what's chopped away would be used to re-weave the little bits of damage. Tailor is not a problem. The best part of living in the New Yorker's ideal retirement destination is that the best of what NYC has to offer ends up here. I believe he used to work with Kabbaz, and has been mentioned on SF countless times as one of America's best tailors.

I'd imagine after tailoring and re weaving, I'd be in close to $500, but I only paid $30 for it, and it would likely look like new, so that's a win right?

Fabric Reweavers USA is down thatta-way as well...I used them for something and it came back with an invisible repair - I knew where the damage had been and there was zero evidence of it when I got it back. YMMV, especially on something like that robe, but I cannot speak highly enough about the work they did for me. Nice folks, too.

You should mention that it's a 36R! Much more views = higher return because of the rarity of quality stuff in that size.

I know this is probably sacrilege, but I say go for it. That thing is meant to be enjoyed. Two questions though. One, how much would it need to be chopped down? And two, do you trust your tailor to do a competent job.

That thing looks like it belongs in a museum. I'd be in a tough state altering it, but I probably would if I had a good tailor to do it.

For $39 I couldn't walk away from this. Visvim, NWT, Giza cotton hooded zip-up. Originally $1,075. Who in their right mind would pay $1,075 for a cotton sweatshirt?

if you've got the money to throw at it, I'd say go for it.

or sell it to me.

...and list it as a 36 in the item details - supposed to list the US sizing there, not the Italian size...but it already has bids - hope they realize it's a US 36 and you don't get a return.

Tenor--unless the aforementioned Mark VI--is all yours. I'm content with my Series III. Sorry to hear you had to sell yours, though. I only ever see student level instruments otherwise id offer to hook you up.

In a moment of BABY MORTGAGE LIFE money panic, I considered parting with my VI.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll investigate. That place in Cali gets a lot of love here, so I was considering them but I always prefer local--I'd hate for this to be lost in the mail.

Working on the museum.

if you've got the money to throw at it, I'd say go for it. 

or sell it to me. 

If I sold it to you, the last thing either of us would hear is a Ferrari V8 at 9,000 rpm hurtling towards us.

If you outlive me, you can bid on it at my charity estate auction.

You know where I am if times get tough. I'd be happy to play pawn shop for awhile.

Any idea what it's worth?

Is this your first post?!

Look at the retail price tag. That's how much it's worth.
