Thrift Store Scores

[Brock]

@GraemeE pretty epic score! They both fit me pretty good too… never owned a pair of Sugar cane

[GraemeE]

@Brock shit - did even notice there was 2

Double score

[Brock]

Just next door at Self edge…

[sabergirl]

Damn, Brock! That’s some good thriftin

[Brock]

@sabergirl right!? I figured it was the best score I’ll ever find, so I had to nab them both..

[sabergirl]

Dude, no question! I found some sugar canes at community thrift in sf for ten bucks once! That was the score of a lifetime

[Inorganic]

In Arizona for my son’s soccer tournament, so I checked out a local thrift shop and picked up some scores

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic I'd recognize those price tags anywhere

We only have one VV left in Oregon and it happens to be 1/4 mile from my house

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE you fiend!!! That’s hilarious - and how lucky you are to have one so close !!

[GraemeE]

RIP to the super hip grandad who passed away - the circle continues

[SKT]

@GraemeE all cool but the shawl collared plaid is the bomb.

[GraemeE]

@SKT agreed - did some quick hunting online and I think that one is from the 50s

I hit up the monthly vintage flea market here in North Portland and grabbed some pants for me and wifey. These fatigues have an October 30th1952 manufacture date.

Great score! even better if its the right size, but you might get a good buck for vintage MIL stuff (A quick google search on the M-1951 pants reveal around 80$)

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic excellent score

[Inorganic]

@scarfmace oh good to know! Luckily they fit and I’ll wear them - they were $10 and I just couldn’t pass them up. The sellers (2 old fellas selling only military items) had a bunch of leather pilot jackets from Vietnam/Korean war - beautiful leather, a little beat up in the cuffs - but well priced at $45.

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE thanks my guy. You should check it out some time. This particular market is located at the armory near PDX, runs 1/month and has higher quality/antique items vs the Sunday one in St Johns (although that one is currently 1/month until March).

@Inorganic I've been looking for a vintage B3 for ages, I found one in a thrift store in Amsterdam a couple years ago for 100€ but it wasn't my size.

[Inorganic]

@scarfmace I didn’t see any of those, but I’ll keep my eye out

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic between the 2 pieces that's a savings of like $800 from Mr Freedom/Real Mccoys prices for repros....
