I’ve recently gotten into the thrifting/antiquing bug myself and have lucked out on some amazing items. (by my standards) What are your favorite finds and why?

My current favorite is a “Milan Leather” leather jacket with a UK/Ireland phone number for customer service on it’s care tag. (I live in the USA for context) I snagged it for $28 dollars and can’t wait to wear it this winter.

If anyone knows more about that Milan Leather brand I’d love to know more about when that company was around so I can date just how old the jacket is.

    I’ve gotten some really high quality clothing/outdoor gear from thrift shops. High end brands like Patagonia and such. And yes, they really do make better clothes than the cheap brands do.

      So far my luck with thrifted clothing has been abysmal besides the leather jacket. But I’m hoping I’ll get luckier the more I try.

        It’s always super hit or miss. You might eventually find a particular store that tends to get good stuff, or learn when they put new stuff out so that the best hasn’t been snatched up yet.
