good finds at thrift stores?

[chris]

has there already been a thread like this? whatever. i go thrifting pretty often. most of the time, all i find are quadruple XL no fear tees that reek of shit. on the other hand, there are days when i find the most random, awesome stuff. i guess you could post some great finds in general, or some things you picked up on a good trip.

im really really happy about these sunglasses i got. fuck spending $300+ on those nearly identical tsubi ones!

i also got this slim, thick thermal:

and some bat-wing, slightly oversized sweater with pockets, a green/black plaid button down, and another pair of black boots:

all for about $30! so i guess you could say i had a good day.

I went today and I got a Christian Dior button-up, but that's about it. There was a pretty amazing Le Tigre cardigan but there was a huge tear in the back (who tries to sell that shit?).

A few weeks back a found aCanadian Military jacket for $7.99, my favourite thrift find so far, I think it's great! I don't have any good pics of it but:

I have a lot of trouble finding stuff because I'm skinny AND short.

edit: and also bad at spelling

cheap sunglasses are the greatest accessory ever.

havent done many purchases as I found a good store just recently.. but I did pick up the pinstripe vest I have there, practically brand new in every way.

look at all of my posts in waywt thread.

whether or not they are good finds is subjective of course.

I always find a very old Levis 502, not my size. But is it anygood??

[youngluc]

i work at a salvation army so i come home with random stuff all the time, but it tends to be too much for me to really keep track of it and post it here.

haha thats so true!

[herpsky]

when you guys use the term thrift stores, are you referring to stores like

buffalo exchange?

[cheapmuthafukr]

^^whats that?

[onemancult]

buffalo exchange is a chain of vintage stores that appeals a bit more to the fashion-forward/trendy aesthetic than just taking whatever people give and selling it. it can be a bit pricier than regular thrift stores, but the stock is curated carefully. also, the people who typically work there are really, really major assholes.

i think the biggest thing about thrift stores is that it is truely an art as cheap has proven us all with his amazing shoes and stuff. however, basics like tshirts, or even vintage jackets, its hard to find good stuff there that doesn't look like it belongs there.....i guess thats the most important thing for me, i'd wanna find shit at thrift stores that don't look like they have been dropped off there for some reason or another...

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

i got a cool blue pinstripe vest for a dollar. i'll post pics later if i remember

[Ahlvahroe]

ive never really found anything at a thrift store, except for this pair of hugo boss jeans, like 3 years ago i got them for 4 dollars, and it looks like they were bleached, so they are this really light grey color, which is weird cause inside the pockets they are a medium blue. The fit is awesome but cause of the color its not an every day pair.

[johnnay]

chris' pictures tripped me out for a while. it took me a lto longer than it should have to realize the lenses were reflective. haha im tired.

I purchashed some of my favorite leather jackets at thrift shops.

[superBobo]

[Kevin_Land]
