Q: What do you consider Vintage Clothing?
A: Our vintage mixes consist of both men's and women's recycled or re-used clothing from the 40's through the early 80's. Some of our items are from specific dates. The item descriptions in our catalog will inform you of more specific time periods in each mix.

Q: How specific can I be about pieces when placing an order?
A: There is no way of knowing exactly what each piece is going to look like. What we do is produce a grade of items that fit a specific requirement. With some items we can be more specific than others. Example: When ordering Style 1 Jeans we can tell you that you will receive Levi's brand and style's 517 and 501. They will all be men's cuts, ranging in waist size from 28-38 and in color from a light wash to a dark indigo. Where as with Western shirts we can tell you they will all have pearl snaps but some will be plain, some printed, long and short sleeve, a variety of different manufacturers and a size range from s-xxl.

Q: How do you decide what goes in each 12 pack?
A: For each 12 pack we produce a mix that reflects the best condition, size and style of pieces. We sift through millions of pounds of clothes each year looking for the best vintage for our customers. We weed through the uncool, pulling out the good stuff, just for you. With a dedicated warehouse staff that has extensive retail experience, we know what sells. We then get a brake down of each piece's specifications. Example: Solid long sleeve cotton shirts, printed short sleeve cotton shirts, solid short sleeve cotton shirts, rare printed cotton shirts etc. As the mixes are put together, we then make sure that each mix is getting a variety of, sizes, styles and colors.

Q: Are the clothes ready to be sold in my shop upon arrival?
A: Generally the answer is NO. Though most of our merchandise is folded and packaged for delivery, the items have not yet been washed. It is each store's responsibility to wash, dry clean, steam or iron every piece accordingly before putting them out for sale. Q: What is the difference between a grade 1 and 2 and how do you assign them. A: Grades refer to quality and damage degrees. We sell only grades 1 and 2 in our mixes. A grade 1 means no holes, permanent stains, no tears, missing buttons, etc. However, a grade 2 shirt generally means fashionable wear, a possible missing button, or washable stain.
