Hi folks, I am a little embarrassed to post this as I know that people’s love for vintage clothing is a big part of this site. But I know how helpful and good-hearted people here are, and I need some tips and guidance to put my neurotic mind at ease. I need to acquire a few sport jackets and slacks for some upcoming travel, and I like high quality stuff, Harris Tweed and what not, but I’m on a budget and there’s no way I could swing shopping at a Brooks Brothers or other nice shops. So, I figure to start hitting the thrift stores and Goodwills and see what I can find. I have never done thrift shopping and I am a bit squeamish with the idea of wearing used clothes. I am not even sure how well dry cleaning will put questionable pieces back to hygienic purity. I am ignorant and a little germophobic about this, but I know there is great used/vintage stuff out there.
I could really use some guidance, good practices, and rules of thumb for shopping for used clothing, particularly jackets, slacks, and suits.
Thank you!
