Before you go

  • Vintage sizing runs small; go by measurements, not the label size.
  • Ask the staff about eras and makers — curated shops usually know the story behind their stock.
  • Look for care labels, union tags, and metal zippers to date a piece; our vintage guide explains each clue.
  • Sunday hours are on file (12 PM – 5 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
