Snagged this Like new Levi’s Vest at a Buffalo Exhange for $20 US. The patches are so sick.

Is Buffalo Exchange really a thrift store ? We seem to get further and further from actual thrift stores in a lot of posts lately.

It absolutely is. Discounted used clothing. Is that not what a thrift store is?

Not really. Most thrift stores don't only sell used clothes and don't have counters where professional buyers go through stacks of clothes tweaked out girls line up to pull out of trash bags hoping to get a few bucks for. They even have to take a number for it. It's not a thrift store. Hey I'm from San Francisco. Nobody has ever called the Buffalo Exchange in upper Haight a thrift store. It was where strippers every day clothes go to die before they do because they paid cash for clothes. Way more like a pawn shop for for clothes than a thrift store. I'd accept used clothing store. It is that. Thrift store ? Not really.

Uhhhhh, that’s exactly what a thrift store is. I’m sorry you’re so upset.

The argument is whether or not Buffalo is a Thrift store. How they receive their goods is irrelevant. Here is Google’s definition:
a store selling secondhand clothes and other household goods, typically to raise funds for a charitable institution.
In my experience the only “thrift stores” that sell more than clothing items like housewares,furniture, etc are big names like Goodwill and in my area Value Village. Most other thrift shops are ONLY clothing and sometimes some accessories like jewelry and whatnot.

Wow, that's a Jim Phillips patch, the original Santa Cruz screaming hand. Good damn score.
