Yes, I know. I have an incredible amount of Polo. However, it's usually the only quality brand I find at the thrifts. I took a weekend trip to visit friends and family, and of course I hit up all the thrift shops at my destination. After visiting four thrift shops, I found over fifty pieces by Polo and only eight by Brooks Brothers. I bought almost twenty items between the two. Truly
everything else was of poor quality.
Good - essentially neutral wardrobe staples.
Better - a Brooks Brothers polo and three American-made Ralph polos.
Even better - two Easter-minded polos and pima cotton in the center.
Best - three long-sleeve polos and a cotton crewneck sweater in the center.
Best...est? - a cotton-linen vest, Black Watch button-down, and lambswool sweater
Look longingly. Search steadfastly.
Vov! as we Turks say.

Whoa, you've hit the proverbial jackpot! I don't think I've ever seen that much polo at the thrifts.
ReplyDeleteThat blackwatch shirt is a gem too, not many of them still floating around.
I love anything in Black Watch tartan. In the past few months I've found also found a slightly different button-down by Polo, a Polo Golf polo, and a very old Chaps windbreaker. Even the comforter on my bed and the tablecloth over my desk are Black Watch.
