I tried going to a goodwill. Low quality used clothes and i felt like a sewer rat among sewer rats scrounging for sustenance. 0/1 never again

>>14083081
yes

If you live in a decent city you kind find good shit. I bought a Northface jacket that still had its tags for $25

>>14083081
Everything at thrift shops in the states is a 3XL.
Maybe in a whole store you'll find 20 shirts that are medium, but normal sized 29-33 waist pants are never there.

The amount of fat people here is something to behold.

>>14083081
i thrift everything else.
t. poorfag

>>14083102
anything above 30 waist is fat tier t b h

>>14083109
Not really, if you're a muscular dude, I could see getting 31-34 waist pants.

Anything 35 and over is just for hiding fupa.

>>14083081
i havent gone in a while or shopping anywhere in general for a while but i used to go and buy a lot. most of my coats and pants are from thriftstores. there are a lot of big sizes like >>14083102 says but im on the tall side and like to wear loose. plus i can wear the fatty woman's clothes for myself

I don't have any in my town. Only second hand charity shops run by cancer charities with dead old peoples clothes.

>>14083102
I'm Australian and I regularly thrift 6 nearby stores. It's the same for me. Almost all clothes are extremely large. Funnily enough the smallest size pants I've seen are 34!

I sometimes see shirts or outerwear in my size. Had to do a little sewing, but the quality is fine. No stains or damage.

>>14083194
There's also almost no men's clothes. Perhaps 10% of the clothes are men's. About a third of the men's is formal clothes.

Soviet era manteau from my relatives, they brought it and never wore. Button-on lining is shearling. This coat is elegant and toasty as hell.

umbro track jacket from years ago

There’s a bunch of nice buy sell trade places in the neighborhood I stay in in Chicago when I’m on break from school. I’m always finding lululemon, Alexander wang, Helmut Lang, APC, and other nice high quality designer brands. My brother went to one last year and got a pair of the yeezy season 3 combat boots for $100 practically brand new. I personally prefer going to these places over actual retail stores because of the possibility of finding a diamond in the rough and at a fraction of the retail cost. I’m not sure if you all would consider this necessarily thrifting but it’s quite similar in many aspects.

My father bought that shearling when we were in San Marino in 1989.

Ignore the haters, great fit.

Not a fan of thrift stores. If you find a few pieces for your wardrobe from one, then that's fine.
However, if you wear a full thrift outfit it usually comes out like dog shit.
The people who exclusively thrift that are interested in fashion think it's the alternative to buying designer clothing new, and still looking "fashionable."
They end up going crazy over a $40 pit stained APC button down.

>Huck levels
Huck is a clueless sack of shit (just like you).
IGOR is god of fa.

Thoughs on Tokyo thrifting

i swear to fucking god i come on this fucking website and it's like everybody lives in an alternate dimension.

i exclusively buy shit from thrift shops/flea markets and i regularly find shit in my size and pull nice fits together. i'm not the only one that does this either, tons of of my friends do the same.

>>14083431
The guy on your pic is cringy clueless tho and has an aura about him of a loser, even if lovable one. I wouldn't hang out with him irl.

>>14083081
I exclusively buy thrift and used. Never in my life have I bought a new piece of clothing

Yeah, sometimes.I like going to thrift shops with my friends.I live in a fairly small town in Eastern EU and we don't have stores where you can buy nice clothes, because the only stores where you can buy unused clothes, sell awfull China knockoffs.

>>14083467
True, he is not a true F.R.I.E.N.D

>>14083081
no. i am poor but even i have my standards. imagine wearing a sweater that some fat fuck whos probably dead by now wore 30 years ago

>>14083081
Yeah, a lot. Some of my favorite shirts and most of my boots come from our local thrift shop.

Which neighborhood?

Being able to buy great stuff at thrifts is one of the biggest fashion redpills.

Unfortunately, not everyone can do it - if you live in a shithole, where only grandpa-tier clothes are sold, you are out of luck.

No, thrifting was great before smartphones.

But now every thrift shop owner hits up eBay Google's an item

And lists their item as the highest buy it now asking price

And when you go what's up with your pricing they just argue that's what it's for on ebay

>>14083373
This, I wish life was as easy as "go to a thrift store and you save money"

But in reality once you figure it out. .. you're not the smartest person in the room....the reason designer clothes are so expensive is becar people want them ..and the demand is there...

The reason why thrift store clothes are cheap is because nobody wants them

You're not finding rad Simon's or Dior at a good will that shit is going to be on grailed

Think about it...rich people aren't just throwing away their expensive shit they're stingy and keep it.

Most people that are wearing YOUR size that is currently on trend are people YOUR age

So it's kids who work a 9-5 splurge on like ACNE jackets once or twice a year and sell on grailed when they outgrow thenlook

I worked for a salvation army store and we got a lot of donations of pretty recent clothing from Asians looking for closet space.
Even lingerie.

>>14083094
this, I cant handle it
its like trading for irl profit in a video game, youre all just fighting to scrape the bottom of the barrel

Im totally for buying second hand vintage clothing online instead tho, have picked up some nice adidas and carhartt jackets doing so.

>>14083081
I buy loads of shit through online thrifting, right now I have like 5 band shirts, flannels, all (except my first, black denim) my patched and studded vests and jackets (including a well-fitting brit-biker I got for 30€), and like 3 pairs of boots I wear weekly are thrifted.

You can make good finds online, if you're looking at thrift shops, you just need to live near a busy city.

>>14083081
Is there a difference between vintage and thrift stores?
If yes, I don't know any thrift stores in my location (Berlin), but there are many vintage stores.
From my experience, there are some things hidden there that are quite good, but they aren't really that cheap. I god a sheep leather and fur cute for like 120 euros which is a kinda good prize considering that it wasn't damaged and so, but apart from that? Not much.

>>14083081
OP thats a vintage clothing shoppe not a thrift store.

Thrift stores are more about vintage clothes actual designers inspired by, not about buying actual designers. These clothes are usually thrown by people who are old enough to carry about their appearance or simply dead.
