My husband is a hoarder. No matter how many dozens of shirts he has hanging in his closet that have been worn only once or twice and sometimes never, he wants new ones. I thought of suggesting he try Well Suited, but I knew he would launch into a tirade about how I never "let" him buy anything. I guess all the crap he owns brings itself home. I digress. So one day I cleverly mention "Can you believe Donald S shops consignment?" I left it at that. Never brought it up again. Let it stew for a while. Sure enough, my husband eventually asks where the shop is. If I suggest it, I'm cheap. If Donald suggests it, it makes good sense.
So I go with him, and now insist on going to filter his purchases. Some great deals to be had. He got what looked to be a brand new pair of Tommy Bahama shorts for $20. He's also picked up some nice button down shirts in the $17-$25 range. But beware, there is a lot of stuff there that should never have been accepted. Either go with your guy or make sure he knows what to watch out for because there are no returns. I've found shirts with snags, missing buttons, tears, and pit stains!!!! Disgusting!!!! For a shop that markets itself as a upscale consignment shop, I am shocked by the garbage they will take.
As for the hoarding. We have a new rule. Buy a new shirt, get rid of one. Oddly, he often chooses to ditch his department store purchases and keep the Well Suited stuff. Unfortunately he isn't interested in consigning his almost new clothing. That goes to Goodwill. Some lucky f***er will stumble on a gold mine after my next drop.
