Manually–Curated 23

I troll through the internet’s secondhand chaos for deals so you don’t have to. Buy this stuff so I don’t go broke.

Apr 19, 2026

Here’s how it works: every week I’ll post a refreshed list of scores I’d personally recommend to friends—or buy myself, if I had less restraint. Prices are for real-world budgets, the sellers are strangers, and the thrill of the find is all yours to claim. If you’re quick enough.

I don’t know these sellers. I just like their wares. Please check the condition of the items, description, and measurements carefully for yourself beyond just simply price and brand name to ensure fit.

Paid subscribers get first access to Manually Curated each week + my brand lists, full archive, guides, live shopping links access, and more—for $5/month, $55/year, or with a free 7-day trial. This week’s list is completely free to view.

Good luck and move quick. Someone else might grab it first.

Items that sold before this came out that I still want to share:

Soon, these will be shared as I find them in the Paid Subscribers chat, where you don’t have to wait until the weekend to whats left over in Manually-Curated.

Ralph Lauren Olive Green Corduroy Pants 32x30 $25

Olderbrother x Lyle McGraw Zip-Up Sweatshirt sz L $100

Ocean Pacific Shorts sz S/M $35

Drake’s Navy Velvet Chore Coat sz 44 $299

Imogene + Willie Denim Fatigue Pants sz XL $75

Buck Mason Omaha Flyweight Black HBT Pants w36 $89

Imogene + Willie Grey Lounge Pants sz M $79

Vintage Black Military Jungle Shirt sz XL $59
I angrily shook my first at the sky at 7am this morning when I saw this listing, measured my widest jacket, and discovered this would not be mine. But, it can be yours! I’ve been looking for one in black for about six months now, and am on the verge of buying a green one and dying it myself. Style inspo here.

Aaron Levine Black Single Pleat Pant 32x32 $90 (auction) $210 (BIN)
Retails for $398. These are 100% wool, so you won’t be breaking these out anytime soon, but regardless of the price these go for, you’ll be getting a deal. These are a 30 waist, but Aaron always says his pants fit a bit looser.

Imogene + Willie Black Trucker Hat $31
Retails for $42. Subtle branding that feels like a vintage patch but isn’t.

Frye Brown Engineer Boots US9 $98
I think a lot of men are not confident in this style of boots, let me get you over the hump. I have a pair of their 8R Harness boots- if I am going out to a dinner or an event at night in the fall/winter, im wearing them. These look great with any wide leg pant, and at under $100, are a steal. Frye harness/engineer boots typically go for $175+ secondhand, and this pair is in excellent condition.

Leather Metal Tipped Belt 41” $22
I’ve been on the lookout for tipped belts for a month or two now, particularly in-stores. This one falls quite unisex. Could tuck it or let it hang depending on the length left over on you, and the outfit.

Big Rock Candy Mountaineering Trucker Hat $20 (Auction) $30 (BIN)
Another trucker, this time with a full mesh dome which makes it more of a casual only hat IMO.

Towncraft Navy Striped Shirt sz ~L $20
Let’s ignore the sun-catcher spots in the listing photos and focus on a freakin’ perfect vintage tee. I just bought a Towncraft in thicker bright blue stripes for $80 and don’t regret a penny. This one is a steal, and a more team player in the closet. It’s tagged an XXL, but my L is more a M, so looking at a L-XL situation.

NEW: Style-In This Economy Women’s Section
A friend messaged me saying “I wish there was a women’s version of Style-In This Economy”. While S-ITE is for mens style, I come across tons of women-sized pieces that I send privately to my friends. I’ll share those here moving forward since this keeps coming up in conversations.
