Size & Condition Guide

Size Guide:

Vintage clothing sizing is different than regular clothing sizing. A label may say “XL” but in reality, fits like a Medium. We advise you to look at the exact measurements we provide. We will also provide an actual tag size and then our recommended size. This is the size we believe the garment is in todays standards. See below example. Feel free to email us with any questions.

VINTAGE CONDITION CHART

We pride ourselves on sourcing some of the coolest and most unique vintage clothing in the market. Please keep in mind that in most cases, vintage is pre-owned, and the pieces will show some minor wear. We will do our best to disclose all minor flaws that might be associated with each item within the description. As with most vintage garments there are slight imperfections which enhance the uniqueness’ of the garment. Some garments are intentionally distressed to give it a vintage feel, and these garments will be labeled as such. (edge grind, stone wash, etc.)
