Weekly eBay Grails 4/3
I hope you are all staying safe and well in these trying times. I want to get angry, mad, upset at corona’s audacity to take from me my one and only weekend hobby: thrifting. Alas, I cannot, for my former mistress eBay has stepped up to the plate to fill the gaping COVOID in my heart. Against all odds, I am now still able to find novelty sweatshirts and oversized sweaters my mom lovingly refers to as “unflattering.”
Before I reveal to you my list of this week’s eBay grails, I highly recommend checking out this article from the New York Times, which outlines how you can help victims of the virus. In addition to bragging to the homies about all the great deals you found on eBay, you can also brag about how generous of a person you are. Stay winning my friends.
These pants from Dickies are for those of you in denial that Coachella has been cancelled.
Is it stolen valor if you purchase this and don’t rip cigs? If you want to learn more about the ubiquitous Marlboro Man, check out Jesse’s article on the mysterious man’s history in advertising.
I’m just imagining the inception of wearing a denim Carhartt jacket over this portrait of America’s best friend, Garth Brooks, wearing a denim Carhartt jacket. Also, rumor has it that under the Obama administration owning this shirt was the equivalent to passing the citizenship exam.
This week’s theme is AMERICA. No nuance allowed! My favorite food is canola oil!
I can’t even look at these Jean Paul Gaultier pants, they make me feel so uncool and small.
Damn, this sweater is a hole in one. I am immediately apologizing for that joke, let the record show.
Walking is retro and cool— jogging is stale and outdated!
Who among us hasn’t wished they could purchase a shirt with a demented leprechaun?
Once again, the product is good but I even more covet the quilt — is that Bode?
Flex on the boomers you’re quarantining with by wearing this MAD Magazine varsity jacket around the house.
This same sweatshirt from PC World is $45.
For when you want to cosplay as the aforementioned Marlboro Man.
Stay inside, wear the outdoors!
