Small percentage of why I love thrifting, had to show the attached tag just to have proof!
Found Tom Ford in a Goodwill today, I honestly don't buy many new clothes anymore just because of what quality things I can find in thrift stores if given quite a bit of effort. To date this is probably the biggest brand I have found. Tom Ford dress shirts typically run around $600-750 new!
The other ties pictured are from the last month or so (D&G, Zegna and Gucci if the image doesnt come through as well as it should). Other recent (within the last year) finds and backstory are as follows:
I do a bit of side Ebay-ing for spare cash, and it goes pretty well for my area. I encourage looking harder in more well-off thrift store communities! I believe my luck for today spurred from some wealthy people relocating/forgetting their dry cleaning or a myriad of other reasons.
Today the haul was This Tom Ford shirt, two Burberry London blazers and a Zegna blazer.
Previously I have been lucky to find other Burberry (>5), Gucci (3) and Zegna(>15) along with: Prada (1), Kiton (3), Versace (3), Brioni (~3), Oxxford (>5) and other exremely fancy designer brands.
Along with clothes I have taken an intrest in vintage musical equiptment, auto parts and antiques thanks to my part time hobby! I view myself as always side dabbling in this as long as I have time to spare and locations to source from! This thrifting has also led me to love auctions and estate sales!
Its always good to have a way to earn passive income that doesn't require massive amounts of time and money to spend of gaining income, this has been my top choice since I already enjoyed thrifting beforehand and knew I could put in a little more effort towards learning the main brands/styles/features to look for!
Ive included a few extra pictures along with the Tom Ford to show what treasures are really out there!
If this gives intrest to others who wish to pursue thrift resale I can post a guide(s) on what to look for or feel to signify that you may have found something special!
Thanks for reading/following!
