Do you buy second-hand clothes?
I do. And I made some scores this month, let me tell you. I've found several awesome sports coats that look brand new and are on famous brands, most of them for under 20 bucks a piece. I've also found two great winter overcoats--below the knee length, black tweed (one), and black cashmere-like blend, for like 20-30 bucks each. I've also found great dress shirts for work.

i try too, i love the idea of buying actual vintage retro clothing from second hand stores instead of from a chain store. But everytime i go i can't find anything i like. :(
|
I have no problem with buying second-hand clothes. I have done it often and for a very long time. My Howard Hughes germ complex manifests itself via handwashing and teeth brushing, but wearing dead people's clothing bothers me not a whit.
|
i bought second-hand armani jeans for 5€ 3 weeks ago.
Unfortunately, i´ve lost them somewhere. |
I do. Most all shirts. Jeans mostly are purchased new. I love used clothes that are affordable yet still worth wearing.
|
Wearing other people's clothes will fuck up your chakra action. So I've been told...
|
Gesundheit.
|
I do and i very often wear clothes that are borrowed.
|
no, i hate them, they stink, they carry weird vibes, fuck no, never, i have TRIED to like the stuff but the smell always turns me off. and the greasy collars and worn out cuffs. i like to wear out my own shirt collars thanks very much. i am my own thrift store.

There's this newfangled invention called a washing machine. Some band named an album after it, even.

I-I'm not crazy about used clothes. I mean they call it vintage, you know to take your mind off of what it really is...'nasty wear.' Oh it's clean you know people wear underwear, ya well they don't wear iron underwear and that's what it's gonna take to get me in those clothes. I mean I'll move into an apartment after a strange person moves out, why would I wanna move into somebody's pants? There is no vintage underwear of course, but it's not because the guy couldn't sell his underwear, it's because men wear their underwear until it absolutely disintegrates. Men hang on to underwear until, until each individual underwear molecule is so strained it can barely retain the properties of a solid. It actually becomes underwear vapor. W-we don't even throw it out, we just open a window and it goes out like dandelion spores. That's how men throw out underwear; we just go (blows on the mic) and it's gone.

I don't really go for vintage. The stuff I buy is more contemporary, more recent in style and such.
The consignment shop I go to is very particular about the quality of the stuff they take. Everything is in good condition, and nothing smells or looks dirty. Seriously, this has been a great way for me to update my wardrobe this winter. I bet I've spent no more than about 150 bucks, with the biggest ticket items being the big overcoats, and come away with some really classy casual dress stuff. These sport coats alone would each cost at least a couple hundred new in some men's shop--I got Oscar de la Renta and Banana Republic brands! And I got 2 pair of Clairborne dress trousers for only 7 bucks each. |

I used to shop thrift stores a lot more than I do now.
For instance, I used to do catering and restaurant jobs, so it only made sense to buy cheap used clothes. I have been to thrift stores that ha stuff I actually like, but it's usually not the case. |

I hear ya....but I don't buy it if it has any smell, or greasy collars...your secondhand stores must not take care of their inventory very well! |
seriously, armpit smell is not so easily removed by soap
the greasy collar part was just rhethoric i just hate other people's clothes. hate them. and i have an extremely sensitive nose. everything smells of something. |
I wouldn't wear smelly clothes. Seriously. My used clothes don't smell.
I love sticking it to the big clothing stores, too. As long as someone else keeps buying the expensive stuff so they can hand it down to me someday. |

I clothes shop almost exclusively in charity shops. Except for my undergarments, obviously. And I'll occasionally buy a few Matalan packs of plain t-shirts for homemade t-shirt action.
I don't think there's anything better or worse about buying designer stuff only or charity stuff only. I just get the fear in mens shops (and in ladies' shops, for that matter). |
Quote:
I get the fear, too. High pressure sales clerks. Big prices. Fashions from hell. |
It's the same with hairdressers. I always get this irrational thing where I think they're going to expect me to know what other people are doing/ wearing, when in fact I have no idea. I'm very, very lucky to be so very, very good looking and blessed with an enormous penis. I bless it every time I urinate, just like an orthoJew.
|
You make me laugh(and you do) but that aint particularly means i like you.
|
Glice, you make the sign of the cross with your free hand, or is your penis so big it takes both hands?
|
Always. Basically all of my long-sleeves are second-hand.
