    We feel it's important to point out that this video was filmed in early December of 2019, long before the current public health situation began to develop. While we certainly don't recommend going out to shop at this time, we're confident that this advice will come in handy in the future. Stay healthy, viewers!

    This was an excellent video. It's right up my alley. I'm a keen thrifter (charity shops /vintage shops, as we call them in the UK). Great to see you guys actually out there in a real shop scenario. Loved the coat from the Austrian maker.
    I get many compliments on my clothes since I've been carefully choosing vintage and second hand quality. I have recently bought a bespoke suit from Austin Reed (made before the changes and re-start/re-brand). I had it altered as it was too long in the body. I take your point, Sven, about the proportions being off if too much material is altered. My suit looks a little off as the pockets sit a little low. That said, I bought the suit for £8.00 and spent £55 in alterations and I'm generally pleased with it as it's quality cloth with working cuff buttons :-)
    I'd like to see more videos like this in the future.
    Thanks

    I think vintage clothing is far superior than anything made today. Just a nice bonus that you can also save money. I also like the adventure of shopping second hand. You never know when you'll stumble upon something absolutely amazing.

      "anything" is heavily pushing it.
      Fabric technology has evolved rapidly over the past 30 years alone.
      Of course you are cheaper off getting quality materials when buying used decades old items compared to new ones.
      But to say vintage is superior to anything made today is plain wrong.

      Sure. But the majority of the advancements are just made to make the fabric cheaper. Polyester suiting sucks, and has the added benefits of hormone disruption and spewing micro plastics into the environment.

    I usually scope out Good Will according to the area; if there are million dollar homes in the vicinity then the Good Will usually handle higher quality garments. For example, I pickup 7 BB pinpoint cotton shirts, 3 made in USA and French cuffed and 2 BB silk ties for 16.00; all have been freshly cleaned and starched, quite a haul.

    Thank you fellas for showing the perks of thrifting. I frequent our local Goodwill stores and consider myself a brand buyer. Just a week ago one such store produced two grey, mint Ermenegildo Zegna Multiseason suits for $15 each and an unworn tuxedo suit by Tom Ford for $25. They had been hanging there for 5 days, obviously tailored for someone of my build as they fit great. Not bad for $55 total!

    This just may be my favorite of all your videos gentlemen! I adore thrift and vintage store shopping and, I am a mid century modern lover from way back. I have a vintage set of 7 Prestige glassware light blue cocktail glasses designed by industrial designer Eva Zeisel for Federal Glass in the 1960's. They're in near mint condition, and I just haven't been able to make myself try to sell them. I have a bit of a mid century modern glassware fetish. I don't imbibe these days, but I just can't part with some of the glassware I have found in thrift shops for pennies on the dollar and in near mint condition. I do shop mostly for clothes, but when I find a deal on mid century modern decor items or glassware, well... Raphael, your eyes do twinkle a little more than usual when you find a great item at a thrift/vintage store! Believe me, I know the feeling!

All of it purchased from the comfort of my home. It does cost more than going to a vintage store, but I'm buying exactly what I want for major savings. I can find $100+ Brook's Brothers shirts for $30-40.

I've gone shopping in thrift stores with a friend, several times, but never really thought about making purchases for myself.

      Online buying often involves paying a Middle Man for the time they spent trolling through Thrift Shops.
      I have found that by trolling through the suburbs, where men dress in the same style as I like to wear results in the staff not only getting to know your taste and pointing out items you may have missed, they will often advise you of newly arrived items that are not on view.
      Put some fun back into your shopping and brighten up the people who often work in Thrift/Charity Shops without taking a wage. Phil.

      I like vintage stuff due to the styles. Well worth extra expense to rescue. Sure some classic new items can be very nice, but still my best find is older than I can count: A wool overcoat tailored in Hong Kong was $20 at the local thrift 30 years ago. $60 to let the sleeves out and it's my favourite and longest lasting coat.

    As many of us will have online classes and conferences, and many are working from home, I request you to upload a video on video conferencing etiquette.
    Thanks in advance

    Another vintage buy recently, BB navy blazer, 3/2 roll for 35.00 but the bonus, I found a Waterman rollerball pen that matched my fountain pen in inside pocket....a great find, the excitement similar to that of treasure hunting.

    I've not been thrift shopping for clothes recently but it is fun. I've found a number of fall fabric odd jackets and wool trousers with split waistbands. I also scored a pair of Allen Edmonds for $8 a few years ago. As long as you can find quality items and avoid name brands that even big name stores know, you can get some good finds.
    My favorite find was a light to mid grey herringbone odd jacket with both the shooting shoulder, reinforced elbows, and even a functional throat latch. I might wear it tomorrow. You don't see that in Seattle.

    I have brought some wonderful clothing from charity shops here in the UK. In fact the most compliments I have had have been while wearing charity shop pieces. I have brought a Burberry vintage trench in mint condition for £30! You never know what you may find and that is one of the reasons why I visit these shops. Good video Gentlemen.

    I had the luck to buy a collection of vintage ties, 185, for 180€. All Vintage, most of them are ones i would wear, but i sold off about 3/4 of them, which netted me 4-10€ per tie sold. I kept maybe 40, 45 ties, so my collection is now a solid 54 ties.
