I really love the “Ass Brand” series. Instant watch, thumbs up like and comment. Wutever the algorithm requires to get this series more hyped. Hope u do other sections.
Things the peoples who watch pass that ass say while sourcing. That reeks of assness, oh God, more ass. What in the booty bump is all this ass today? That even looks like ass! Maybe I should get it, ugly sells….how much is it? 12.99?!! Geezus Goodwill your prices suck ass. Every single time.
I LOVE seeing the unfiltered sourcing, and learning all of the Ass brands. It’s good to know what to look for, but I think it’s even more helpful to know what to pass on. It saves so much time at the thrift.
I absolutely love this format of video. It was not boring at all! I would actually watch it every week because it’s really cool to see you thrift and explain some of the vintage tags and just to see what you end up seeing. Plus it kind of makes me feel like I’m thrift thing, which I’m not at that moment. Also I’d love to see videos if you do suits, slacks, t-shirts or any other men’s stuff. I love your content.
Vintage Disney sells well for me. I sold an anniversary hoodie a while back and hung it outside my back door to air out before shipping bc I hadn't washed it which I always always do but I'd just gotten it and it seemed super clean. Soo I forgot all about it and the next day we had a big snowstorm. Shirt blew down off my deck and was literally and I mean literally buried under a foot of snow. Went to ship it the next day, freaked out that I couldn't find it anywhere. Cut to me with an actual shovel, ecstatically uncovering the sweatshirt, frozen stiff. Banged it on the floor so I could crush it up enough to put in the washer. It came out great. The end. The life.
It's good to see unfiltered sourcing like this. It gets discouraging to rifle through three or four times as many shirts as this and still come up empty-handed. I feel like I should be finding more. I do have days where the heavens part and angels sing, but this video looks very typical of my sourcing experience. If I could flip Sonoma and Van Heusen at Goodwill prices I'd be a millionaire.
Love these two HIdden Camera POV videos, great idea, great work - keep them coming. Also recently bought your Menswear Manifesto and absolutely love it!!! Thanks for sharing your all your great info.
Had me at swamp of despair, hahaha. I have waded that swamp before and its hard to go on and not give up on life. Surprised about jeerzes, maybe more so for polos. I do ok on their vintage tee's. Thanks for keepin it real, as usual!
I really like this format! Whenever my daughter and I go out, we always split up because we don't sell the same kinds of things. So I really only get the chance to sort with someone when she's ready to leave. This was fun!
Hmm 🤔 Awoke after dreaming of rifling through thrift store racks with certain descriptive words spilling out about each item! It’s great to wake up laughing and having learned a lot!! Please keep your signature videos coming. They serve on so many levels. THANKS SO MUCH‼️
Love the format! Thank you for sharing!!! So many videos just show the wins portraying an unrealistic expectation about ALL this great stuff at the thrifts when in reality there’s a lot of a** brands (love that term) that you have to sort through. Thank you for the reality check and wealth of info (including those to pass at the higher retail prices but still a good pick up at the bins).
Thank you for showing the whole process. When others show just the pickups we have no idea how many duds they had to weed through to find one good one. This really gives realistic expectations!
that was fun to watch, especially enjoyed your comments about what you would get if it was from the bins, which shows that there is some decent return if purchased for the right price.
Also, I think my new BOLO is Corduroy jeans, I didn't think they were in style but found a levi's one and bought since my goodwill keeps them with dress pants, which are only $4 instead of $7 for jeans. I was stunned at how much they sold for and mine sold in 24 hours about $10 more than I was anticipating when I bought them. The sell through on used ones is pretty good across all brands.
If this is not exciting it’s because thrifting is not that exciting 😂 I concur… this was really helpful! I appreciate that you quantify what you would get at the BINS…thank you!
Golden Road Brewery in LA is owned by Anheuser Busch, which is why you see it in every grocery store with better placement than other "craft breweries"
Thanks for doing videos like this. Just wanted to pass along what I know on the Brand Resistol…- Resistol makes high quality western apparel. Their shirts sell well for me, but If you come across any Resistol cowboy hats pick them up as they can resell for top dollar. Picked one up at the bins & sold it in a week or so for $90.
I was looking through men’s shirts at the thrift the other night and you were in my head saying “A**”, with each passing a**-plagued shirt. Thank you for that. :) Made it far more bearable.
These videos helped me turn my hobby into a solid side hustle as stay at home mom. Please keep them coming! Side hustle being reselling…not the sahm part.
Thanks for mentioning which you'd pick up if cheap enough. I see some of these brands you mention at garage sales etc, where they're really cheap. I've only just starting poking into men's clothing recently.
Thanks, a very useful go-through. I collect vintage aloha wear and your advice is spot on. If it's not made in Hawai'i a definite pass for me. Beware of "styled in Hawaii" or "made in Hawaii of imported fabric." Getting ever more difficult to find good vintage, even here in my part of the SoCal.
Wrangler pearl snapsn especially with western prints on them do well. The only Nike golf I pick up is the Tiger woods polos they go for 30 to 40 depending on the print/Colorway.
New subscriber, absolutely loved this video. Have only went thru a few of your videos so far, but would love to see more of videos like this just sifting thru the clothes. Absolutely ingenious to help new thrusters. Thanks for sharing
I sell Eddie Bauer button down shirts really well, assuming the shirts are in very nice condition. I'll buy 3 for $1 apiece and sell them as a lot for $25. They sell quickly. Same with Ralph Lauren Polo with the rider logo. Sold 7 today for $80. Large, XL and 2XL.
If you haven’t already, you should totally make a video describing the types of clothes there are and how to look them up! Sometimes I’ll find some clothes and I really struggle to properly look them up, I’m not very familiar with keywords , I just recently learned the keyword Henley from one of your other videos lol
So came in from a long day of thrifting, sat down saw a new video from Thrift a Life, oh part 2 of every men's shirt series.... and I just started laughing. I can't look at anymore clothes right now. I CAN'T! But I can stop in to like, and comment for the algorithm and watch ya later!
Ok Junk Monkey story time. Just finished part one. I had to chuckle as you talked about the ripstop fishing shirts. I'm wearing one as I type this. I was in the GW going through the men's jackets at warp 9.2 when an all over print spell out champion windbreaker with snap buttons stopped me in my tracks. As I'm looking it up to see if it was worth the $12.99 (it wasn't, comps out at $20-25) This kid on the other side of the rack (feel free to read this in the most stereotypical California beach bum pot head voice, because that is exactly how he spoke) says to me "Duuuuude , you wanna know sumpthin?" I look over at him and say "Sure" he said "If you find one of these um shirts and it says Made in Italy, it's worth a loooooot of money" to which I reply "Unless it's Alfani, what do you thinks of this jacket" I held it up , he got very excited and said "Duuuuude that is GOLD!!!!!" I asked if he wanted it and that seemed to confuse him. He asked if I was kidding and I handed it over the rack to him. He shuffled off to the front as fast as his cannabis soaked brain cells could motivate his feet to the front to pay for it and leave. lol I hope I didn't get too deep into his fun money.
My thought is if you would pick it up at the bins -I should pick it up at the store as someone new willing to make less? Maybe $5 net- what do you think
The glasses rock! Okay, maybe not. But hey, it’s all in the name of TH-cam. Another great vid. Hit GW today with about the same results. But the line was like 14 people long and one cashier so I put the shirts back and jetted. Patience is not my long suit. You must have a ton of patience to shoot the vids, edit, do all the narration and post. Thanks for taking the time.
Love these videos. I do pickup some of the big brand golf polos from the retail stores when they hit the 50 to 75% week but my business model might be a bit different than your's. I started selling a lot more clothing but my knowledge base was basically shit so I've been learning a lot. I need to learn more keywords and some more of the basics about different types of collars, sleeves, etc. Thank you for producing important content that helps.
Did you lift those glasses off of Clark Kent? Dude I’m getting a pair of those, they are awesome. I have a tiny head lol so I’ll probably have to do the elastic around the back of my head to keep them on, adding to the poindexter -esque vibe I’m sure to be giving off. Can you get those in X-ray vision too? Do you know? Great video, was a fun watch. You should start a weekly series. “Spy glasses, ass, half ass and what an ass.” The latter being a bit like the people of Walmart but of course it would be the people of the thrift. Little clips of the average thrift store loitering odd balls we all see out sourcing.. thanks for all your hard work to help us out😊
You saw a Ralph Lauren Polo with a blue tag and said you'd get it at the bins because its viintage. How'd you know it was vintage? The blue tag? I'm learning still. Thank you for doing these. Blessings to you.
I actually cant stop laughing and I'm only 2:10 . I felt you pain when you said st john bay really bad BUT Mossimo is really reallyyy bad. I can stop laughing typing this.

"Mossimo is MossiNO" best quote ever.
Really enjoy your videos.
@Andy Mandujano mossimo was a skate brand in the 90s, I'm under the impression that vintage stuff is worth picking up
FYI some vintage Mossimo before it was bought by Target can sell for a good bit!
the founder was part of that college scandal because he got caught paying someone to get her influencer daughter into college.
I really love the “Ass Brand” series. Instant watch, thumbs up like and comment. Wutever the algorithm requires to get this series more hyped. Hope u do other sections.
Ass brand series. That should be in the title. 😂😂😂
Things the peoples who watch pass that ass say while sourcing.
That reeks of assness, oh God, more ass. What in the booty bump is all this ass today? That even looks like ass! Maybe I should get it, ugly sells….how much is it? 12.99?!! Geezus Goodwill your prices suck ass.
Every single time.
For real, more like it
This thread!! 😂
you passed on that as# "as always" lmao
I LOVE seeing the unfiltered sourcing, and learning all of the Ass brands.

Living in San Diego I have not been exactly there but I've been approximately there.
What do you mean by “bins”?
"It's right on the cusp of leaping out of the ass tier" GOLDEN narration LMFAO 2:53
It's good to see unfiltered sourcing like this. It gets discouraging to rifle through three or four times as many shirts as this and still come up empty-handed. I feel like I should be finding more.

Wouldn't we all?
I guess you can plan on storing the ass brands he passed on🤦♀️👍
right?!??
The whole family watched tonight and we could watch every, single day. Educational and comical; this is superb!
"High Sierra is a disappointment to its parents." Thank you, sir.
Love these 2 videos! I would love to see more of the "spy glasses" series!
19:02 "wading through this swamp of despair" so many great quotes
Keep the 'ass series' going!!! Love it... someone here at home asked "is that thefunny thrifting 'ass' guy' while I was watching. LMAO. Thanks Matt!
lol...."wading through this swamp of despair"..... Matt is a Poet with words!
Love this format. Would it be possible to spend a minute or two at the end just going over what you have picked up in your cart?
Foundry is a jc penny big & tall line
Love these two HIdden Camera POV videos, great idea, great work - keep them coming. Also recently bought your Menswear Manifesto and absolutely love it!!! Thanks for sharing your all your great info.
Thanks on all counts, Laraine.
Had me at swamp of despair, hahaha. I have waded that swamp before and its hard to go on and not give up on life. Surprised about jeerzes, maybe more so for polos. I do ok on their vintage tee's. Thanks for keepin it real, as usual!
I really like this format! Whenever my daughter and I go out, we always split up because we don't sell the same kinds of things. So I really only get the chance to sort with someone when she's ready to leave. This was fun!

“That’s Ass” My new favorite description!
Love the format! Thank you for sharing!!! So many videos just show the wins portraying an unrealistic expectation about ALL this great stuff at the thrifts when in reality there’s a lot of a** brands (love that term) that you have to sort through. Thank you for the reality check and wealth of info (including those to pass at the higher retail prices but still a good pick up at the bins).
I don't think those glasses are what I would call hidden camera lol.
Thank you for showing the whole process. When others show just the pickups we have no idea how many duds they had to weed through to find one good one. This really gives realistic expectations!
that was fun to watch, especially enjoyed your comments about what you would get if it was from the bins, which shows that there is some decent return if purchased for the right price.

Love the spy cam videos! I am feeling more comfortable with mens shirts but I'd love to see a video of pants/shorts some day.
"I passed on that ass." Dying 😂😂😂
That blue arrow dress shirt was a part of the grand baroque line from the late 60s-early 70s!
Callaway does good for me! Polo and golf shirts are great spring/summer.
Boring but interesting and helpful. Thanks for spending your time doing these type of videos. Love to listen to your chit chat and humor!
If this is not exciting it’s because thrifting is not that exciting 😂 I concur… this was really helpful! I appreciate that you quantify what you would get at the BINS…thank you!
New subscriber here. Love your channel! You had me at “That’s
A$$” and a$$ness🤣🤣🤣
I like how you state you would buy at the bins which helps me to understand the values and what to pay for some of these brands.
Thanks for sharing. Have you considered applying your mens wear manifesto to an app?

It was great to listen to while I listed. You make me laugh! And great information, as always. Thank you!
I hope you do this with other catagories.
You're hilarious!! I love watching your videos! 💜
Love these new videos with the cool glasses 🤗🤗thanks again… have to get your manifesto asap 🔥🔥
Thank you SOO much for this your videos are always extremely educational and Is helping me be more successful in my reselling
I was looking through men’s shirts at the thrift the other night and you were in my head saying “A**”, with each passing a**-plagued shirt. Thank you for that. :) Made it far more bearable.
Great content and loved this format of going through each rack thank you!!
These videos helped me turn my hobby into a solid side hustle as stay at home mom. Please keep them coming! Side hustle being reselling…not the sahm part.
Your thrift store is so clean and the racks are so organized and spacious - OC can be a work out
Thanks for mentioning which you'd pick up if cheap enough. I see some of these brands you mention at garage sales etc, where they're really cheap. I've only just starting poking into men's clothing recently.

Wrangler pearl snapsn especially with western prints on them do well. The only Nike golf I pick up is the Tiger woods polos they go for 30 to 40 depending on the print/Colorway.
can you do this in the athleisure section?
New subscriber, absolutely loved this video. Have only went thru a few of your videos so far, but would love to see more of videos like this just sifting thru the clothes. Absolutely ingenious to help new thrusters. Thanks for sharing
Loved this format! Very useful information. I will look through the men’s shirts with much better discernment now!
Carven is a Real Real bolo. Love this type of video! Shows how challenging it is to find anything good!
Loved this format! thank you
Reminds me of sitting in art history class.....memorizing all the names. Very useful these.
Awesome video. I never go to men’s section since I really don’t know what to look for but, this is very helpful! Thank you very much
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Would like to see more of this style with other categories like pants, athletic wear, etc.

Thanks so much. Great info and interesting format. Keep it up.
Thanks! Very helpful! Love your videos.
So what was the final verdict I only remember 2 but there was more in the cart
New subscriber, love this type of video. Never seen one like it. Thank you for sharing!
Love your content! Thank you for sharing
Great info, thanks! Can you please make a list of company names that are on the shirts that you would pick up. Thank you
Take a look at the first item in the video's description, such a list is already available for you to access
I found a Toni sailor ski jacket but I can’t find the exact one is there anywhere or anything I can found on it to figure out a good price
Great video! I'd love to see one with jeans!
20:44 AJ foyt legendary indy car / nascar racer. Harrahs was his nacar sponsor. 👍
My thought is if you would pick it up at the bins -I should pick it up at the store as someone new willing to make less? Maybe $5 net- what do you think
Always learning something from you, thank you.👏👏❤️
Those glasses need some bedazzling.
“It’s Ass, but with a small a”. 🤣🤣
I think Polo Ralph Lauren polo shirts can work if you do bundles (say 3-4 shirts)
Lol "just on the cusp of leaping out of the ass tier"

Eddie Bauer cotton sweaters? Saw two at the local cheap thrift last week but not sure if they're worth it since they are heavier
Love these videos. I do pickup some of the big brand golf polos from the retail stores when they hit the 50 to 75% week but my business model might be a bit different than your's.

Harrah's in Las Vegas has clothing for Races in the area. I would have gotten it but your store is more expensive than mine.
14:00 "a disappointment to its parents" lol I too love the "ass brand" series. lower case a ass
South Coast is a Sears brand I think!
Excellent! Love your videos
I'm seeing a lot of Duluth Trading polo style shirts out there. Are they worth picking up for $3-4?
I've never met a guy pass that much ass up. Lol
But I'm with you bud, go for the good stuff..
Did you lift those glasses off of Clark Kent?
Dude I’m getting a pair of those, they are awesome. I have a tiny head lol so I’ll probably have to do the elastic around the back of my head to keep them on, adding to the poindexter -esque vibe I’m sure to be giving off. Can you get those in X-ray vision too? Do you know?

Every physical therapist my son knows-Banana Republic luxe slim fit polo. It’s like their uniform.
Matt, what’s the bins?
Thank you for all the information!!!!
Good Will outlet. Merchandise is literally displayed in big bins that one digs through to find treasures. Clothing is sold by the pound.
What Pamela said
@@pamelarose1066 thank you!
I’ll have to check that out!
@@ThriftALife thanks Matt
You saw a Ralph Lauren Polo with a blue tag and said you'd get it at the bins because its viintage. How'd you know it was vintage? The blue tag? I'm learning still. Thank you for doing these. Blessings to you.
Yes, the tag. The modern tag is also blue, but doesn't look like that.
Every time I see Van Heusen, I say “Van Heusen nonsense” now. 😂
Love the manifesto! Just downloaded and donated $10 for it. Wish I had this doc last year. 👏 Well documented research.
Thank you Lisa.
“Ass Brand” “ I passed on that ass”🤣🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely love your videos! Thanks for the fun education on clothing that you share ❤️
Thank You for sharing & letting us see what you pass on this was quite interesting !!!
Seems like the thrifts have been beat lately where I live (MA). Same for you?
I actually cant stop laughing and I'm only 2:10 . I felt you pain when you said st john bay really bad BUT Mossimo is really reallyyy bad. I can stop laughing typing this.
Nice, I like this format. Learned a lot from this. 😁👍🇵🇷
Matt, glasses maketh man! Great video because I dabble in menswear ever so often.
Squents from Sandlot grew up?
When you say you would pick it up at the bins what do you mean by that?
Bins is a colloquial term for the Goodwill Outlet, cheaper than normal Goodwills.
