The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Sartoriamo]

Haven't been posting a lot of finds lately, as I've been temporarily focused elsewhere (the flipper house). However, I got out yesterday, and glad I did.

Dead bird, Kühl.

Pretty foddery, but a nice HT.

I don't normally kop Boss, but I make an exception for recent/current skinny fit stuff, as it flips well. A couple are seersucker, so perfect for the time of year. Rear one is Varvatos.

Wolverine

Always love to see a pair of these . . .

And even more so, a pair of these, stone mint . . .

I don't normally double post, but here's a better pic of that Filson wax jacket.

And while we're on jackets, I kopped this one a week or few back on the basis of seeing the "Wyoming Traders" logo, and didn't look any further.

Imagine my surprise when I took another look at it today, and found that it's a CCW garment. Has a pistol holster and slots for two clips on each side. Fits my S&W Airweight Crimson Trace perfectly, and will take my Sig P938 (in storage or would have displayed) and a couple clips on the other.

Too bad I never bother with EDC any more in my little town, but I'm probably gonna keep it for travel . . .

You guys are killing it out there!! I'll be back on it soon . . .

White vinegar (several passes if necessary), it will leave the leather dry so you'll have to condition again

If they were mine I would strip and redye.

Actually found some decent records at the thrift for $.99 each. All VG+

Said “Fvck yes” out loud when I saw this one. Dr. John’s first record in glorious mono. Top of cover is beat but record is perfect.

Love this older one. Very wheaty impression overall but sages and blues and yellows mixed in.

Really like the contrast webbing on this one almost brand new. Detachable sleeves. A dearth of pockets.

Are these too big/much, or can these be a thing?

A few recent finds…Work has again taken me back to southern Texas for a few weeks; all finds are from there.

Tobacco Motorwear x Pack Animal “The Adventure Jacket”.
This thing is pretty sweet, wish it was my size.

And Pop! for me…

Need to fund the usual UK trip somehow

I picked this one up just because. Is this even the right Ricci? It is vintage (guessing pre '90s) and made for the Danish equivalent of something like Macy's. It's a foot wide, so I don't assume this is a big $ flip.
The quality is not particularly impressive... any comments on Ricci history and how their workmanship has developed over the years?

 

[RFHansen]

Someone in a recent post celebrated finding a NN07 item. This got me thinking. I just checked sold listings and was surprised to see that the brand does quite well on the bay – many $30+ sales, plus some jackets at $100+.

I usually pass on it as the few items I tried selling just lingered for years and sold for $10 eventually, and there is enough of it in my thrift spots to fill an Olympic size swimming pool. Maybe it has become more popular internationally lately.

Do any of you guys buy it to flip, and how does it work out?

 

[flipstah]

This was gnarly because it smelled and the insole was falling apart but working on restoring it.

Lysol on the inside + cordovan polish worked wonders

 

[impuntura]

Was there viagra in the pockets?

Do we have any African mask experts on here.
Are these tourist trap crap or something better.
One of the masks with the hand stitching seems to be very old,also some have numbers in pencil might signify a auction item ?
Thoughts ?
