If you’ve been pining for the days when denim meant wide, wild, and wonderfully oversized, then get ready to head on over to Metropolis Vintage, because we’ve just received a heaping haul of legendary JNCO jeans. That’s right – those ultra-baggy, graffiti-emblazoned pants that defined ’90s streetwear culture and made them a staple of skate, rave, and hip-hop scenes. Their bold, embroidered designs were a cultural phenomenon and are now ready to resurface. Some of you may know that JNCO stands for “Judge None, Choose One” – and we promise not to judge you if you do buy more than one pair from our insane JNCO collection. When you see what we’ve found, it will be nearly impossible to resist. Stacks of JNCO for guys, JNCO for girls, and even a heap of JNCO shorts. Calling all JNCO junkies – get over here and check all of them out!
If you’re not local – we’ve got some available at our online store:

About metropolisvintage
Metropolis is a shop located at 803 Broadway in Manhattan. We 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 cutoff jeans were high fashion. We took hold of a set of keys and opened our first store on Ave B and 6th Street on Feb 1, 1990. Just like the East Village, we have changed over the last 34 years and now reside on Broadway just south of Union Square, but still have the largest and best selection in New York. We do a lot of traveling to find our large collection and I hope you enjoy the clothing we have to offer here. If you're in NYC, please stop by to hang out in the shop and become our customer and friend. Nothing makes us feel better than seeing someone wearing a item purchased from us when we bump into them in a bar or club or show.

About The Owner
My name is Richard Colligan. While freelancing at various advertising agencies throughout the city and graduating from Pratt Institute in1982, I sold clothes at several flea markets in NYC for extra money. Realizing an interest in fashion, but tired with the elements of outdoor retailing, I took my small business indoors to Avenue B & 10th St in 1990. At the time, fashion was all about "grunge" - the 501 Levi Jeans, flannel shirts, motorcycle jackets, overalls, and army surplus were selling like wildfire and Metropolis was the leading provider.
In 1995, I moved Metropolis to its current location of 3rd Ave & 10th St, which is conveniently situated in the heart of East Village, near St. Marks and many college dorms. Everyone from new college students to seasoned stylists would soon turn to Metropolis for their vintage fashion needs.
Finally, in 2019 we switched to our largest location yet - at 803 Broadway, just a few blocks south of Union Square. As Metropolis approaches it's 34 year anniversary, I hope everyone will come and check out our store, a staple of the NYC vintage community!
