    UnTuckit is becoming very very popular with the concealed carry groups of people. For obvious reasons it conceals well and less shirt to get out of the way when training.

    Lawn fabric was originally made of linen, but since the beginning of the 20th century is now most often cotton. It is woven (NOT knit!) with very fine, long staple cotton threads and usually the fabric is very smooth and somewhat sheer - not as sheer as voile, and somewhat crisper than voile. Liberty of London is probably the most famous maker of expensive, high end cotton lawn - they started making their Tana Lawn in the 1920s. Sometimes you see a maker including the name Liberty of London on its garment tags. It's a great tabric for colorful prints.

    • @KevinDurantisnot
      @KevinDurantisnot 3 года назад +3

      A big portion of them are Nike Dri fit shorts both men’s and women’s. Where I live I can commonly get shorts for $3 or less. I sell them in lots (maybe 4 or 5 pairs on average) based on size for $12-15 ish each. Can easily fit them all in a padded flat rate envelope. Of course there is other stuff I’ve gotten like Lululemon , Patagonia, carhartt but don’t find it as often.

    Just wanted to comment and say thank you for these videos. I have been reselling for about 8 months now so still fairly new but have genuinely gotten so much good information from your videos. I like that they are straight forward and to the point and not too much chit chat in between lol.
    Also in regards to the Tommy stuff, from what I hear from others the Hawaiian prints or just more graphic prints in general seem to be what sells better! But I have yet to try it myself because I usually only find it at goodwill for $5 and up.

      So that’s a good idea. I sell mostly on ebay but have never cross listed on Mercari. I just kind of try different items on one platform. So lets say you sell the same item on Mercari so you take down the ebay listing… will ebay catch on,,, do they care or just expect the competition??. I have never done it because I wasn’t sure what their trms of agreement were for cross listings .Nice vid btw

    Do you ever try to sell like business branded shirts? Meaning like car dealerships, casinos, resorts, restuarants, etc? Usually they have an embroidered logo on the front of the shirt somewhere. - I come across these all the time at yard sales and my thinking is that they wouldn't really sell well. But hey, maybe I'm wrong?

Of course, haven't sold any in the weeks since so probably beginner's luck. Still in my maybe list, if it looks interesting enough.

At first, I thought it was cumbersome, but I sell way more on Poshmark than I do on Ebay, and listing with them is much faster.

    My Tommy Bahama sells like fire hahahha that's pretty funny. What I have found, however, is to only pick up the shorts / pants / and linen long sleeves / and ugly loud AF button ups. I don't buy Tommy Bahama polo shirts or plain Jane solid color button ups (some stripes will do well but they have to be weird colors) anymore they sit forever and finally sell for 10-14 unless they have loud ugly patterns. The TB jeans are fire for me.

      @johnhofmann1237 3 года назад

      @@ThriftALife I think you are at a disadvantage with your California prices. I have a few honey holes here where I can get TB stuff for 2.50-4 bucks. Of course the Goodwills here (all of them apparently communicate) price all TB shirts at first at 17.99. Since I got the jab and got out shopping again I have not seen a single TB item at a Goodwill for under 15 bucks, save the one that had bloody shit stains all over it. But as a consolation prize to having to pay California prices you get to find some great brands that I have never seen in the wild here. I can't find summer comfort anymore I used to find it every trip. The only reason I continue to thrift at GW is that they have not figured out every good brand yet, but they have got TB, Peter Millar, (any jeans that are not rustler are always 17.99), and some funny ones they think are valuable for some weird reason that makes me laugh. I saw an express polo for 19.99 and almost pissed myself with cynical joy. Thank the gods that I have a handful of excellent privately owned charity thrift stores that actually want to move their inventory, if I had to rely on Goodwill I would be reselling wicker fucking baskets for 4 dollars shipped.
