I hope this might make you smile BonsaiGuy.
I routinely buy quality clothing in thrift shops. But also, I travel between climate zones and often misjudge temperature differences in winter and summer. I was in some mountains when the hourly bus service got cancelled meaning a 2 hour wait. It was a freezing cold, windy evening. I went into a thrift store that was about to close, picked up a boys hooded down parka for a few dollars, paid and put it on in the shop.
When I got the parka home, I saw that the tag inside was "BRAVE SOUL". I still love that parka!
