About half my clothes are from the thrift store.

I've found some amazing shirts at goodwill, but pants and skirts from there never seem to fit me.

I don't have alot of money to throw around, so I buy loads of stuff from thrift stores. My tees are from there, and my pants too.

Opteron Man, If Something Wicked, here, has finally gotten their web site up, that is where I got my leather trenchcoat, comfortably pre-loved and for only $15.00 -- and it's knee length.

I only ever seem to buy books from them (recently got a book on Political Ideology for just twenty five pence). Decent mens clothes are impossible to find in the ones near me, just a bunch of old suits, I've occasionaly found some good boots in them but they are never in my size.

I hope I'm not too late to join this discussion.

I shop at thrift stores mostly, not just because of my lack of funds. I've found some very high quality things there, including a brown leather trench coat and the complete works of Poe. It's funny, sometimes, because I find something I like, and then I get home and look at the label to find that it's Old Navy, Banana Republic, or some other store I don't usually go into.

I love Thrift and vintage stores!! I just wish there were more around. You can't find anything in south central Pennsylvania!! There are Amish though, sit on my Aunt's porch and look out, you'll see a horse and buggy every 15-20 minutes, no kidding. If I run up to Harrisburg there is a decent vintage/thrift store but, the only thing really close is a salvation army and you can't find much of anything there... there is no culture around here, except the Amish.
Though, if I ever want any authentic Civil War era clothing (if I find the $) I can just get driven (I'm in high school w/out a car, both parents work) to Gettysburg (not far at all, like 15-20 min.) and go into the shops. Have you ever been there? It's awesome!! that is where I wear corsets. My parents think it's innapropriate for a girl under 18 to wear a corset (and they're probablly right) but if i'm doing a reenactment they can't say anything!!! (I once wore this pretty mourning gown w/ this pretty matching parasol! Loved it!!!)

I love them, I think a bit too much. But the deals are great if you poke around in the right places.

The vast majority of my wardrobe has been procured from second-hand stores and it pleases me that the revenue from my purchases helps to fund the charities that run them.

I get all kinds of amazing stuff at thrift stores. Including both velvet and silk frock coats and all sorts of amazing music (because I still own a tape player).

I live in a really small town, there is a downtown area with a few used clothing stores and antique shops so i tend to shop there frequently.
