“The 10 Best Vintage Clothing Shops in NYC”

https://www.complex.com/style/vintage-shops-nyc/metropolis-vintage

Special thanks to Complex for featuring us as one of the best vintage clothing stores in New York City. As mentioned by Complex, Metropolis vintage has been around since 1990, owned and operated by Richard Colligan. However its vintage roots go deeper than that. Richard started selling vintage clothing in flea markets back in 1984 in SOHO – a time when downtown seemed like the center of the world, when street artists were pushing their way to the top and cut off jeans were high fashion. Since then Metropolis has continued to keep its pulse on top of vintage trends and continues to push vintage culture forward in New York City.

Metropolis is known for our big collection of vintage band tees as stated in the Complex article but the store offers so much more. The priority at Metropolis is not concentrating on one category but giving the customer a variety of items. Besides vintage band tees we carry vintage t-shirts from different genres like comics, wrestling, rap, cartoons, anime, TV and film, 90’s pop culture, to some of the rarest vintage shirts like Mosquitohead’s. But the store isn’t limited to just t-shirts and thats what really sets Metropolis apart. Here at Metropolis you can find vintage Levi Jeans, flannel shirts, motorcycle jackets, overalls, army surplus, sports jerseys/jackets, and even custom dyed Carhartt jackets. In this video below you’ll get a quick glimpse inside the store as owner Richard Colligan gives a brief history of his beginnings working with vintage clothing in New York City and what makes Metropolis stand out.
