Thrifting tips for Boston Bar

A few things worth knowing before you work through Boston Bar's thrift stores:

• Try everything on at Thrift Store. Sizing across decades is chaos. The fitting room — or a brave moment by the mirror — saves you from the almost-right jacket.
• Check for completeness. Board games missing pieces, cameras missing caps, tools missing bits — open the box before it goes in your bag.
• Learn your fabrics. A quick touch tells wool from acrylic, leather from pleather. Natural fibres at thrift prices are the whole game.
• Go often, buy rarely. The regulars' secret: short frequent visits beat rare long ones. Ten minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly expedition.
