Well that last sentence was unnecessary.


Every morning at my GW are two women. I would guess I've seen at least one of them 70% of the days I thrift. One of them I've seen on the same day multiple times at multiple GW. Saving grace is she works women's first, but she's so fast she does 3 racks in the time I flip through one. If I stop to SF or ebay check something, forgetaboutit she's done the store. Most days she leaves with a cart full, women, kids, and men's. I wonder how she can sell that much every day and not accumulate a basement full of inventory, and how she keeps track of it all??? My few purchases have filled a closet and I've filled two large laundry baskets. I'm at Home Depot looking at cheap shelving to store whatever I can fold. That's with only buying a couple things some days, and nothing other days.

Dahl5yankees, very nice! I find occasional Zegna and Canali (very happy they're 44L and fit awesome) but am prepared for my first Brioni and Kiton suit found thrifting. Awesome!!

Dat feeling when you find something in your size that you were just about to drop 2 bills on (because it's on sale). Thinsulate version even. All because I did that "always check the women's section" thing you guys always say to do.

Anyone heard good things about Tagliatore? I totally dig this suit and was wondering if it's a good buy for a fall/winter suit... There isn't even one thing I don't dig on their official website... bold fabrics, Napoli cut, etc.... Also totally sure the 950$ MSRP is wrong...

How did you get two? Did you cop 2 bags?!


Yes, I placed orders for two grab bag pants. I'm certainly glad they sent two different models, and no skinny jeans.
