Really?.. We have a recycle center in every town… Furniture, clothes, bikes; you name, you can find it... But I don't frequent them anymore... I should though... You never know: this thread has built my hopes up!..

if you can find one, they are usual full of crap, every now and then I pick up some records, but the rest is pretty much garbage…

Same here. It's just crap people don't want and I definitely don't want.

that is the case with most thrift stores.  just gotta dig.  i think i mostly just enjoy the hunt.

as long as you find something yes, or get at least to see something interesting… mean I like hunting for rare CD / records, since I score there every single time I go out picking, but for other stuff thats just really difficult here around.... unfortunately...

i know what you mean.  i dont know what it is….i just find it relaxing to go sift through junk haha.

crazy deal! great find.

@riffblaster:

Had one of my best scores in a really long time this morning!  Royal Tweed by Church's chukka boots in ridiculously good condition for $12!!!!!!!  I found them in the thrift store today and actually let out a "HA! YES!!"  and everyone around me just looked at me like i was insane.

Found this Vanson Ike Leather Jacket in a thrift store yesterday. Feels kinda short for me but we'll see. Fits great otherwise.

[injunjack]

the lenght is fine IMO

edit: typo

[riffblaster general]

great find!

Hercules Blanket lined Denim Chore Coat $49.95.

Just a few quick shots.

Yellow tag is just the price tag

[riffblaster general]

amazing!  what size?  if its in the medium realm would you part with it?

btw….the fit on that vanson is spot on imo.

damn man...now i can't wait to go thrifting again.  you got me stoked!!

The fit is great for me, so like a normal L-XL.

I like the Vanson Ike but I might put it up on eBay to fund getting a Vanson City Jacket. I only paid $40 for the Vanson. I don't mind putting stuff up on eBay that I like at higher prices, if someone bites, cool, if not I just keep it.

[riffblaster general]

right on man!  amazing find.    if you can get a good price on ebay for the vanson then by all means do it!  you put in the work and found it.

1940s Hercules Brown horsehide jacket in good vintage condition for $150? Good deal? What do y'all thing resale value would be? Probably size 48 chest I would assume. Red quilt lined. Let me know quick like.

Found some West German Jackboots at an Army Surplus store. Need to be resoled, so we'll see if I hang on to them or not.
