Two weeks ago, I needed a black jacket for an upscale reception. (Down here, I have little more than t shirts and flip flops.) C found it on the rack at Out of the Closet, the wonderful thrift store in Wilton Manors (Proceeds from Out of the Closet sales directly benefit AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Think Housing Works gone south). It's not from the 40s, but it is a Botany 500 with good approximate attitude. I'm wearing it over a thin white Armani cotton/nylon shirt that demands ironing and sheds it the minute you move, and, charcoal Zegna jeans with subtle purple stitching.
The price of that classic jacket at Out of the Closet? One dollar and six cents.

The thrift stores here in Tucson are always picked over by professional pickers, some of whom ship clothing off to Japan. So there is never anything as nice as that jacket.

That attitudinal posed expression? Priceless.
I got a suede blazer at one our local Out of the Closet locations.
For $5. I literally said "SQUEEE!"
I also got a gorgeous green trench coat with leather collar and complete lining for $5.
So, yeah, we love them.
