Thrift Store Scores

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.

@Inorganic all great finds

Are you going to re-purpose that mail bag into something?

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE not sure yet. Prolly just a tote - it’s pretty rad. The fella had it since college - 40 or so years ago.

@Inorganic love stuff with old stencil text

I feel like it was originally waxed but not totally sure. Picked some up on the weekend while checking out some of their jackets. Either way, I'm honestly not sure I can stop this inevitable waxie train I got on.

@Chibs Barbour has a model code in the pocket , if it starts with mwx it was waxed.

I actually didn't buy this one on principle even though I dont have it - i have an issue with goodwill pricing a used modern reissue at record store retail price ($20)

Why didn’t you talk them down? The only thing principles ever did was kick me out of school. I know it’s spelled different, fuck off.

@Matt goodwill doesnt negotiate on the west coast

The real loser in the situation is me sitting at home without the Siouxsie album

[Matt]

That’s outrageous.
