The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Odradek]

One local shop was doing a tie clearout, and even though the selection wasn't great, I did find this one by Holland & Holland, who seemingly are more famous for their guns.

Then this morning a I stumbled across a Brooks Brothers 100% Camel Hair sports coat. Perfect condition, and sadly a little large for me, but I couldn't just leave it there. 40R.

I have no idea where we left off....but I'll try to update anyway.

Floor is finished, all but the stairs and lower landing.
Doors, trim and baseboard are all underway.
Bathroom and windows are next.
Upstairs completion projected for mid week.

My DIY portion is just about complete. I still need to engineer the Thrif-T-Lift, have been back and forth on design. Also need to stain all the doors, but that's going to take me a while.

Finished installing the custom built-in racks last night, still need to attach the shelving to the top, after an on-the-spot redesign.
Total cost was only about $450, but it took some time to cut and thread all the pipe.





Two Double 8 foot racks (each with an additional 1.5 foot long coat hang bar), and One Double 4 foot rack.

Looks amazing Wes. Pretty impressive how quickly the whole thing has come together.

^^^^ That's awesome Wes. I need a few of those bar racks myself.

Great job Wes.

Did you guys notice that "white and gold" dress is first posted from Outer Hebrides islands, the home of Harris tweed? Hence your problems describing the good Harris tweed when you are trying to list it
BTW I passed 10 of them yesterday in unusual colors but would not fit.

Met an Olympic medalist last night (team pursuit at 2012 games), and asked her if she wanted to sell it on consignment...

I think this LB suit is made in-house in LB's own factory. Doesn't look like the "Attolini" tag going around on the interwebz. Could anyone confirm?

They don't make in house. LBCS line is made by either Caraceni, St. Andrews, Sartoria Partenopea, or pictured above, Cesare Attolini

Those are the worst looking JLs I've ever seen.

 

[SeaJen]

Velcro-fastened JLs? Yikes!

While we're on the subject, do you know who this might be? Same red LB tag, but no inner pockets so this is all I have.

Wow! I don't even think I would have picked those up to check what they were. Just out of curiosity, what compelled you to check?

Was scanning the shoes and noticed an intricate gold stamp so I picked up and took a look inside

Caraceni, and that is all their manufacturer label is for LBCS, that small tag.
