ED HARDY T-Shirts won’t fade from METROPOLIS VINTAGE

You likely know Don Hardy from his work as a stand out tattoo artist throughout the ages. His associations and mentorship from the famous Sailor Jerry, the way he brought original design to tattoo work in an era when many were simply doing flash work. His signature style, where bits of Japanese aesthetic crept into his work, influencing countless others. What you may not know is that Don Ed Hardy licensed his name and work into a quite popular tattoo themed shirt series of the ’90s, of which we have a full selection of here at Metropolis Vintage!

East Coast Connection Vol.2

East Coast Connection is a collective comprised of @futurepastnyc, @freshkillsvintage, and @metropolisnycvintage. The goal of East Coast Connection is to bring people together in the vintage world, hearing their stories, and building connections that go beyond just business. East Coast Connection Vol. 2 went down on May 30th live from Metropolis. Some of the best vintage t-shirt dealers from all over the country came together under one roof for an amazing experience we like to refer as “The New York t-shirt exchange.” It’s where instagram meets real life. Where new connections and friendships are made that creates an experience like no other when it comes to vintage clothing in New York City. East Coast Connection Vol. 2 featured 15 vendors from all over the country for a one day event. Vendors brought out their best shirts for everyone to see. Some of the best t-shirts or “grails” you only see online or in pictures were on display during East Coast Connection Vol. 2. Buying, selling, and trading went down throughout the event and many left with a smile on their face. This was one to remember and just one of many East Coast Connection installments. We would like to thank everyone who took part in this and made ECC Vol.2 an amazing event. See you at ECC Vol. 3!!!
