My other YouTube channel, about collecting and reading books:

This is a haul comprised mostly of men's suits.

The higher the 100s, the more twists to the individual woolen yarns, and therefore the finer and lighter and more drapable the woven cloth. Super 100s is nice everyday wear grade, super 180s is very fine, special occasion level.

[dutty.vintage]

The super '100' numbers refer to the number of sick-dope-swag that the jacket has. For example, if it reads "Super 150", then the piece has 150 sick-dope-swags. 🤝🏼

I used to resell these and agree, less picked over at stores, higher ROI but I stopped flipping them. Most of them take FOREVER to sell, return rates are higher because people think they should be a freaking perfect fit when this type of clothing often needs to be tailored anyways and they take up too much space. If you have the patience and space for them, then definitely recommended for men's clothing resellers.

Thanks to your videos I started looking into sourcing men’s shirts and I really like this niche! I am a 63 years young 😉 woman that has never really liked woman’s fashion … going to continue watching all your videos my friend 😊 love how calm and patient you explain things to us. Blessings 🤗

Wow thrift Jesus man thanks for the info in the thrift right now and found a Hickey Freeman Loro Piana sport coat for $2!

[DigFellasTV]

I have thrifts here that do .99 days on all clothing & I have looked a bit at sport coats but haven’t made the effort due to lack of knowledge. Your info on the inside tags is a great help! As someone else mentioned, maybe a follow up video on what happened with Real Real would be cool 😎 Thanks again!

[JimDee]

Hope you're feeling better with your neck/back. Good to see you making vids again. Thank you for sharing!

I'm finding good clothing frequently at Goodwill bins thats selling for $20, $30, $40. I don't even bother with regular Goodwill anymore. The bins just makes everything much easier.

People who complain about you selling designer suits at below market rate don't really understand the market, although I get how people can think undercutting kills their profits. If they really thought the deal was "too good" they could buy it from you and resell it for a profit. If they think you are undercutting it's easy to let you sell yours cheap and just hold their price until your item is gone. A mantra I now live by that another Youtuber says is "I'd rather have some of the money, all the time than all of the money sometimes."

I’ve sold 15-20 suits or sport jackets and I just picked up 5 more to list. I like them because I’m not a big reseller and the margins are high, but they do sit for a while to get that high margin. Learning to “pinch test” to check for fused or canvassed construction can be a big help with whether to investigate further or buy. There are many obscure brands that make high quality tailoring that can be tough to comp on ebay but will sell. Fused is cheap construction, half canvassed means your at least looking at a jacket with an original retail price of several hundred dollars, full canvass starts at around $1k these days so you immediately know it’s high end.

I love completely subconscious remarks like "I stepped away from shoes", and "jump on those opportunities". Your manifesto has given me good guidance even into winter sales. I decided to specialize since I operate from a shuttle bus, and things are rolling along fairly well mostly by your guidance.

Goodwill on 16th has officially changed its name to Greedwill. I mostly sell hard goods and books. Every now and then I come up with stuff they slipped on but at the register they have literally taken stuff away from me and said something like “sorry this is out here by mistake”. They all know what I do, and pay special attention every single time to what I’m buying.

Hickey Freeman makes the Burberry London suits. Nice finds. Love finding Isaia

Never stop teaching! You have such a gift for absorbing and retaining knowledge and then masterfully imparting that wisdom in a way that captures attention, piques interest and maintains focus! That’s a rare skill that others often attempt to mimic but fail to master. Thank you for sharing your genuine self with the world.

Best thrifting channel I've encountered so far. Love it: it's clear, authentic and consistent with the efficient business model mindset.

[jackfordmac]

Apparently we have a UK Suit shortage at the moment, pandemic has meant more people working from home, less in office so less retailers are selling new suits, which has created a limited supply and also a bit of panic in the market, so everyone wants suits now.

[lisapastori]

Thanks for all your advice and tips. I’ve been watching for awhile but don’t think I’ve commented much. I found Zegna and Hugo Boss suits at a local church thrift for $10 each and sold them both very quickly for $100 a piece. I’m learning😁

[allisonhart]

Looked up the 100s, basically the same as thread count but the sheep are specifically bred to produce finer fibers. After finding it at the bins I'm now finding Isaia everywhere, just came home with more

[ArtIsNotAlwaysEasy]

I love buying dress jackets, shocking how well they sell.
