Stuff I'm Either Selling To Consignment Or Donating To Goodwill

I have a lot of stuff that no longer fit me and thus no longer have use in my possession.  I am going to try and go to a consignment shop and see if I can get some money from them, but I have no idea how they work, and so I don't know if I'm going to be laughed out of the store I decide to go to.

The following are items of clothing I am either consigning or, failing that, donating.  Unless I specify otherwise, I am donating these only because they no longer fit me:
  • A suit, gray/white, it has that, uh, pixelated pattern, for lack of a better way to describe it.  The tag says it's an "Expressions" suit ... ?  I have never worn it.  My parents may have given it to me when I was young, but I'm not sure.
  • Joseph & Feiss International ... olive suit ... I believe this is the suit I wore to my cousin's wedding reception to his first wife.  This is the one into which I tried to fit my fat body, and in suffering through an afternoon full of constriction, asphyxiation and sweating, I realized I am getting real, real fat.
  • Dark gray suitpants, or at least I think they are ... oh, man -- J. Crew?  Did I buy this?
  • Black suitpants with black pinstripes ... don't see a label ... I remember wearing this frequently before I outgrew it ... I'm thinking now that, even though the suitcoat still fits me, would it make more sense to just keep the set and either consign or donate them as a whole?
  • Olive-colored suitvest from Claiborne ... I remember buying it because I wanted to look extra cool while wearing a suit.  And I still think wearing a vest while wearing a suit is extra cool.  I should look into buying another suitvest.
  • White dress shirt, from Woodward, whatever that is.
  • White dress shirt, from Stratum, whatever that is.
  • Dress shirt, white with blue vertical stripes, from Wentworth.
  • Another white dress shirt from Woodward, but it's actually "Woodward Fitted."
  • White dress shirt from Express.  I remember buying this one.  The number of times I wore this shirt I probably can count on both hands and possibly on one.
  • Black cargo pants with black patterns from, uh ... looking at the label it's "england's dreaming ... KEANAN DUFFTY" ... these pants might fit me, but I don't think I'll ever wear them (I have decided against trying them on) because it has a shank button fly.  I wonder if I could use these for stripper parties ... nah.
  • Ah, dammit ... blue jeans from 7 For All Mankind.  I really wanted this label because my sister said these were cool jeans.  And I bought them at a discount at ... I want to say one of the Macy's that was going out of business.  I thought I got a steal when I bought the last of these jeans at a cut-rate price, but even then it was kind of a snug fit.  And I just got older and fatter and, well, it doesn't matter that I own cool jeans if I can't fit in them.
  • Khaki cargo pants from Covington.  Sure my parents bought them for me from somewhere.
  • Tan dress shirt from AKA Eddie Bauer.  Probably one of the first dress shirts I purchased for myself.  Takes me back, man.
  • White Gap Pocket-T.  Does fit, but it's full of holes.
  • T-shirt, white and gunmetal gray horizontal stripes, also from the Gap.  Also has a bunch of holes, but they're entirely around the collar.  Some of the holes are huge, so I can't wear it anymore.  I don't think, by the way, that getting rid of two t-shirts from the Gap is an indication of the clothier's quality.  I had used both shirts a lot, and for a long time, so I think they have served their time on Earth, and then some.
  • Tan shorts from American Eagle Outfitters.  It's possible they fit me, but I doubt it.  Also, there is a hole in the right ass pocket, where I put all my loose change, so I think I'll pass this on.
  • Light tan Polo Ralph Lauren shorts.  I had purchased a lot of tan shorts when I was younger, and there are a lot of tan clothes (not just shorts) I am going to have to give.
  • Tan cargo pants ... label: Basic Editions, so ... K-Mart?  Parents bought them for me.  I know I outgrew these; there's a huge, mismatched white button in the front of the pants, which means I popped the original one.
  • Light tan cargo pants from -- PHYS.SCI???  Where do my parents find these clothes?  Anyway, I'm sure they still fit me, but there's a giant hole in the right ass pocket, and I don't think I want to deal with forgetting about the hole and hearing all my loose coins fall to the ground at the most inopportune time when I have plenty of other pants I can wear instead.
For the record, I found the matching suitcoat for the black-with-black-pinstripes suitpants.  It's from a label called Lanerossi, and that suit served me very well over the years.  Also, I had packed white shorts from something called Honors.  Thought it didn't fit me, but they do.  I may have decided that I couldn't wear them anywhere, but even though it has a shank button fly, the elastic waistband isn't worn out yet, so I am taking a chance that I could wear them as summer porno shorts.
