METROPOLIS Christmas Window by JAMES & KARLA MURRAY

Posted on December 23, 2016 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

Metropolis Vintage is honored to have our Christmas window captured by James & Karla Murray for their collection of the best East Village storefront windows this year! The Murrays have made their name photographing the changing face of NYC over the past few decades. Check out their photo books for some really cool, old world signage and remnants of old New York!

Here are some of our favorite Christmas window displays around Greenwich Village and the East Village, NYC this year. These are all from small independent businesses! #shopsmall We wish everyone a very happy holiday and a joyous New Year!

Across “the pond” they call them “jumpers”… here they are “Ugly Christmas Sweaters” and are big business…

Return of the Long Sleeved Rock Shirts

Posted on December 18, 2016 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

A staple of the 1990’s, the long sleeved rock shirt adorned many a grunge kid and any skateboarder worth his salt. Lately, this tradition seems to have been taken over by the metal crowd, but we at Metropolis Vintage have been collecting these for some time now and think the public is ready for them once again! We’ve unearthed a huge batch which we’ve just put out on the racks so you can replace the short sleeve version with the longer, winterized model.

Vintage MARLBORO Tshirt

Posted on November 10, 2016 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

Are you a MARLBORO Man or Woman? Apparently, the mighty macho Marlboro was initially sold as a woman’s cigarette, with an emphasis on it’s smooth, delicate flavor and the tagline “Mild As May“. Soon enough, though, cigarette health studies rolled around. Suddenly, in the 1950’s, MARLBORO flipped, marketing it as the ultimate cowboy cigarette. Naturally, any unhealthy side effects became no match for the modern cowboy or his mustache. Well, we can guarantee there are no harmful side effects to picking up some of our vintage MARLBORO apparel at Metropolis Vintage, except for extreme jealousy that is! We’ve got a full pack waiting on the rack, with other classic cig brands such as Kool and Winston mixed in. Come on down!
