The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Jompso]

Yeah, i've been hitting most of the Goodwill, Council, Salvation Army, Discovery, random cosignment etc stores that I come across whenever possible for a couple of months now, and wearable shoes in my size (13 US, D fits best) are one of the last non-specific articles of clothing I have come across. I've seen wearable Ferragamo shoes in much smaller sizes a couple of times, and a nice pair of Ralph Lauren chelsea boots that missed the cut by 2 sizes once, but shoes seem like the hardest section to pick something up from by far. I haven't seen anything NOT in my size that has been in such a slam dunk condition that it would be a mistake not to buy them to trade to someone else, either.

Yea shoes are definitely the hardest to find, They're almost always the last thing I check cuz I never have faith....venturing out of the city and that same cycle of stores that I know quite well also helps.

This.

So, in keeping with (what I believe to be) the spirit of the thread, here's today's meagre-but-satisfying haul. All n/a.


Sulka tie (sadly with a small pull on the front blade); Incotex 1951 slow wear trousers (I don't know what that means yet, but it sounds cool); Trafalgar belt (eBay fodder); my first Paradise Found shirt. (That's the one people like, right?)

Paradise Found, despite being in my avatar, is my third favorite brand of aloha shirts... The "jungle bird" shirts are desirable, pretty much everything else they make is average. Tori Richard and Reyn Spooner make much better shirts in more timeless patterns.

Just out of curiosity, how desirable are Tori Richard and Reyn shirts? Dollar wise, do they ever resell over $100 for non-limited edition ones?

Perhaps for really old minty vintage ones. Check out thehanashirtco.com

So, I turn 30 today and celebrating by thrifting my way through Copenhagen. Hopefully I will be able to bring a bountyful update tonight. Or I will spew my hatred for my neighbouring country.

So this just happened - after a USPS fail last week I came in to the office and had this waiting in the mail for me:

I freaking love it - thanks Spoo and LS for such a beautiful gift and a great year!

RLPL Raw Selvage Jeans, Purple selvage seam

Hate to say it, but these aren't selvedge.

 

[Thrift Vader]

Correct.

But still very nice jeans. and ****, i'd flip out the stitching.

Never seen RLPL jeans before. so that was a treat.

 

[acosbysweater]

No fire intended, but I seriously hope Jompso is simpy Frenchy's erudite brother. That last selection is dinive. Inis Meain is a score anytime, anywhere.

What Rueben said. But they are still nice jeans.
