Is there a thread where people can show off their thrifty charity shop buys?

Does anyone have any advice for buying mens clothing from charity shop - things to look for in particular, things to beware of, etc?

I bought myself a great pair of shoes a week ago, £3, they had no laces so total cost came to £3.50 and 2 minutes of fiddling

When looking at shirts check the underarms for deodorant stains and collars and cuffs for wear/fraying.

Check there are no missing buttons.
