      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......

                          Thrifted this wool western shirt. It's super fitted and a bit long, fits like an Ship John in my opinion. But the best part (other than the price) is the tag. Thank you bad ass grannie, wherever you are out there. I appreciate it very much!
