Manually–Curated 24
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.
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 access to items as I find them via the subscriber chat + my brand lists, full archive, guides, 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.

Vintage BMW Hat “Free Spirit Rider” $8
Diba Fisherman Sandals US10 $20
Studio Nicholson Holin Trench Coat sz 2 $250 OBO
Retails for $875. This is technically a women’s jacket, but by all the measurements it will fit a man larger than me (6’ 155lb). It is a 2” wider than my largest lightweight trench so I passed myself. Here are the measurements from the listing": sleeve length from pit- 18”, total length- 49”, pit to pit- 28”. This remains the last style coat I need to round out my coveted set.
Vintage OG107 Sateen Military Jacket sz S $42 OBO
This is a spring/fall staple. You can wear this as the top layer in warmer weather, or have a nice splash of color if you added a warmer jacket over top. This can be worn casually with light wash jeans and canvas deck shoes, or with a loose fitted trouser for contrast. Yes, it’s distressed- and that makes it all the better. This is more distinct style than the very common jungle shirt or fatigue shirt, with the waist cord. Wish it was my size!
Todd Snyder Japanese Cotton Striped T-Shirt sz M $35
Ever since I picked up a vintage bright blue and white Towncraft striped tee from Raggedy Threads in April, i’ve been all over these as such a fun spring shirt. This one is a bit more muted with the navy stripe, but these come in all sorts of colors. Just be sure you get one with thin stripes, not thick.
OG107 Fatigue Shorts w30 $35
OG107 refers to the color, incase you didn’t already know. As a well documented and longtime lover of fatigue pants, this should come as no surprise I like them as shorts also. The key is to get a pair big enough that they’ll be big. Big shorts are good. I don’t think these should be tight or shorter than 8”. I’m going to regret not buying these myself but I hit it big this morning in store so I must refrain.
Vintage Banana Republic Lined Trucker Jacket sz XL $60
Older Banana Republic is making a come back atleast in the circles im…circling? It’s getting a bit too warm for the tail end of spring, but come fall this would be a go-to. Pay attention to cut of the bottom set of pockets- very good. Looks like it has waist adjusters as well. Super solid repeatable piece at a great price.
Vintage Corduroy Hat '“St. Francis Athletics” $23
I see way too many fellas with corny and obnoxious hats. Subtle is good. Corduroy is a favorite of mine to add texture, and the lack of contrast between the embroidery and hat color keeps this muted. The embroidery itself is ideal vintage styling IMO.
Vintage Navy Thermal L/S Shirt sz L $22 or sz M $18
The thermal shirt is a staple in the closet, and these occasionally come up in alternate blue and brown colors. They are the perfect colder weather layer, and the texture is fantastic. Watch out as their sizing is wacky- often shorter sleeves than normal, so asking for measurements is a smart move. It can take a bit to find one that fits right, but I promise it’s worth it. I wear mine more than i’d like to admit.
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.
