I always enjoyed thrifting, too. I remember when cordoroy pants were always on the shelves, now I rarely see them. Especially the thicker variety. I like finding older style cardigans, the quality is a lot nicer than most of the stuff produced today. And if I use it at work, its not the end of the world if it gets oil or grease on it. I have to be careful to get 100% cotton, or else it might melt and burn on my skin.
