The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Breakfast for thrifters? Think I'll skip this tomorrow and check out waffle house instead.

Best Western? Oh, and I think I recognized that Goodwill from when I was in Atlanta. Have a good time, good luck!

Holiday Inn Express! Not the best breakfast, but the hotel is nice and updated. I think that picture is from Smyrna or around there. Now to check out some consignment stores.

Thanks man, which brings me to my point, it fits me perfectly is the chest, but is too long, is this an easy fix for a tailor? I have ZERO experience in tailoring.

Length change is not a cheap alteration but is doable.

I mean being a short ass dude, I need most all jackets altered in some way, but, here in CLE, prices are dumb cheap. Got both of those tweed jacket above for a total of $4.

Yep... absolutely do-able. However, I have seen some pretty horrible length alteration jobs. Make sure to carry it to someone you trust or someone who has a good reputation.

Tell me about it, I take a 27.5" BOC jacket, do you know how hard it is to find that in any decent quality at a thrift? With Patch pockets, if new, or nos sometimes even; you can have the pockets bumped and get away with shortening a bit more without it looking as wonky...sometimes.

Cheaney Chukkas, not shell like I thought at first glance but thanks to @1ofTheCoolKids and @tben for the assist on figuring out these were Cheaney.



And finally, a request for some help on this Bullock's Jacket, see the spoilers for more.

If any one has any more info on this I would appreciate it. So far I've figured out that WPL 388 is for Charles Rabin and Co, who made pajamas for the military during WW2 I believe. But would you guys call this a smoking jacket?

So watched Kingsman yesterday and the main base is on Savile Row right by Dege and Skinner, fun movie.

Thrift fit from this weekend.

All my gear was thrifted except my boots. Haven't been snowboarding for quite a while so I'm sore as hell today. Forgot a baclava so I have wind burn on my face now
