@GraemeE bad ass jacket and bonus points for the T!!!

[GraemeE]

@goosehd that t has somehow made it through 3 kids already

[SKT]

@GraemeE love the jacket but the T is awesome too

[NickD]

Picked these up for £2.50

[sophisto000]

@GraemeE you’ve got good taste, and nice to see that you’re passing it along!!

[Matt]

@NickD those are begging to be dyed indigo.

Value Village find today

Tag and button type make me think around 1950s (or i guess it could be repro??)
Minimal wear

A VV find that made me smile.

[NickD]

I wondered why you were wearing two smartwatches for a moment...

[GraemeE]

@derek111 said in Thrift Store Scores:

VV find

you guys have the Village up north??

They are sadly disappearing from the PNW

I think the one by our house is the last one left in Oregon and Washington (not sure if BC has any)

[derek111]

@GraemeE they are everywhere in my City, we have 7 total and even a Value Village Boutique that is 3 floors and a bit more curated.

[GraemeE]

I thought an Alice Coltrane tee was pretty niche....

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE solid find!!!!

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic thanks

Somebody near Lloyd center has been on a real kick donating t-shirts of esoteric/avant jazz musicians

Keeping my eyes peeled for a sun ra tee next

Picked this up a while back and decided to give it a try. Have never owned anything Barbour but I think it was originally waxed. None left on it now though. Very light (motorcycle?)jacket.

[GraemeE]

@Chibs great score

You going to re-wax?

[Chibs]

@GraemeE I think I must, yes. Have never waxed anything before so it’ll be fun.
Now I sort of went down a bit of a Barbour rabbit hole and I’m looking at possibly getting a Beaufort. Love all those pockets!

[NickD]

Not sure that would have been waxed, looks like a summer, unlined version of my International.

The International range would have been motorbike jackets back in the 60s (Steve McQueen wore one on the ISDT) but the complete lack of protection means they aren't used for that now.

Eagles Market came thru today. Picked up this massive Folsom bag for a song.
