The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

So I just found out they built an Off 5th right by my house.

They ever get any good deals in there?

I can usually get Brioni ties for about 50 bucks a piece there (buy one get one deal) same with Versace and such. The one I frequent always does buy one get one, never a percentage off a single item (or rarely). But it's like 99% crap, honestly. Hard to find any real deals.

Totally agree. I usually run everything as BIN but I may have to give this one a go on auction. Feels like an item that could go bananas.

Ehhh I dunno about that. Keep in mind that although they are worth a lot, they are worth a lot to a relatively small subculture. If it's me, I would go BINOBO and set it really high and see what happens, then you don't have to worry about exposure time with the auction running its course. I just think that with an item you can really make a profit on, might as well play it safe, at least that's my opinion.

Has a John lobb velcro ever been done before? Seriously what is the title going to be?

And this tie: NSFW

My first one of these! One of those ties with a naked lady inside. I think these do pretty well on the bay.

The HD shearling is wimmenz, correct? Sure you'll still make out just fine, but not as good as if it were men's.

225.29$ on the velcros. This should be fun. Big photo dump coming Sunday. Awesome stuff today guys. This place never ceases to amaze.

Oh no. The dreded SSSS. Seems like I'll spend some time in security today.
However: Atlanta, brace yourself!

So I ran into this car coat awhile ago... looked for a tag and saw none tra-la!


Buttonholes aplenty tra-la! tra-la!


Till I realized it was inside out! Or not tra-la! It was a reversible coat...
(and by the way this thing is pimp when worn with the polyester side out, even better than the woolen side out)


And a delightful surprise I did find inside my reversible transforming coat tra-la!


Blended wool and alpaca it was tra-la! And tailored in It-al-leeeee....


But no buttons at all! But one! tra-la! and that's the end of the sto-reeeeeee.

Apologies to George RR Martin. Seriously, this is a very nice coat. Marked as a 46 but really probably for a 44 and even I can wear it and I'm more like a 42. There have clearly never been buttons on this thing I don't understand it (maybe they came with and the owner never had em installed?), there's one at the very top and I gotta match it and then do the other side. I'm thinking matching black horn for the woolen side and either stay with black horn or tortoise plastic for the polyester side... gotta see what's out there I guess... thanks to a couple of thread regulars who weighed in previously!
Brag? Brag.

Stopped by to pick up some chinos for @Thrift Vader And wound up with a little bit more.
Had been looking at picking up a bar of Otter Wax, and at 6$ I thought I might as well, and buddy wanted some too. Grabbed some Terrapin stationary, which was nifty and cheap, couple of NWT scarves, one for me, and one for someone else. BB Bow was a thrift from a bit ago.

Man I love this shop and the random assortment of stuff they get in sometimes.








They also had a bunch of Georg Jenson housewears, a back issue of Clutch, 3 sets of new Persols
