        Cold weather camping gear completed. I scored these A-10 trousers which were used by WWII pilots before pressurized cabins were a thing. Alpaca lining from the waist to the knee and wool below that. These appear to be unworn and were made in 1944!! I’m just so stunned by their quality.

            @GraemeE haha!! From one thrift hound to another, your comment means the world to me! I often joke with my buddies that at my funeral mourners will be given a leaflet at the door. It will be a catalog of all of my thrifts, a table summarizing what I paid versus MSRP. The total at the end will be the summation of my life.

              No images, But Mark my antique dealer mate (Mad Mark is what me and P call him), went into a thrift store just north of here a couple of weeks ago. Came out with a small Chippendale era cupboard which he gave £108 for.

              Sold it over the phone before he got home for £2,500.....

                    He bought a sideboard in San Fran once. It cost him USD9,000 to buy and ship back to UK, He sold it for £125,000. He saw it in the window of a swanky London dealer a little while later with a price tag of £250,000......
