It’s almost 2026 and at METROPOLIS VINTAGE, that means it’s time to get ready for more of these collared classics! The Rugby, the lovable Polo Bear, oxford style, and more! Ralph Lauren didn’t invent the polo shirt — that was Jean René Lacoste – but what Lauren started in the late ‘60s as a necktie company ended up as a full-blown clothing empire, just look at the variety in our stock. By the ‘80s and ‘90s, Polo had become more than clothing — that little logo was collectible. The Polo Heads of the ‘90s turned Polo into a cultural cornerstone. They wore it big — transforming what was once merely preppy fare into something their own. The Polo section been consistently in demand for years here at Metropolis Vintage, and we’ve just got a big new shipment ready to go. If you want it, we’ll keep on hunting it down, stocking it, and watching it fly off the racks!

Introducing two recent rad METROPOLIS finds! Check out these vintage ’90s streetwear specimens – a colorful pair of classic PHILLIES BLUNT Jackets. These leather beauties were designed to cater to that fast-paced, hustle-driven lifestyle. Sparking in the 1990’s, they soon captured the attention of fashion insiders and fans, transcending the boundaries between casual wear and cuture. Completely eye-catching with cool design, and that’s not even mentioning the texture of the leather itself – its combination of softness and durability. Vintage doesn’t have to mean dated, and the beauty of a Phillies Blunt leather jacket is its adaptability. Whether you’re into the streetwear aesthetics or prefer more polished, these jackets can easily hit both boxes. The perfect balance of style, comfort, and cool.

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:

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!!!

Richard Colligan (Owner/Founder) of Metropolis Vintage and the East Coast Connection (@freshkillsvintage/@futurepastnyc) come together to bring to you the Mosquitohead interview live from Metropolis Vintage in New York City. They are joined by special guests Robert Brandt (founder of Mosquitohead) and Richard Allen (original Mosquitohead employee.)

Throughout the interview founder Robert Brandt gives the history behind Mosquitohead, from its conception, its success, and gives insight behind the journey of Mosquitohead. Along with Richard Allen they also discuss the design process and what went into the curation of some of the incredible pieces released by the brand.

To give a brief overview, Mosquitohead was a clothing brand established in 1986 in Los Angeles by Robert Brandt and his business partner Paul. At the time Robert and Paul noticed a huge gap in the market for rock merchandise and counter culture shirts. They noticed a lack of design concept and in the words of founder Robert Brandt  “No culture behind what was being made.” This led to the very beginnings of Mosquitohead. The brand is best known for their counter culture aesthetic, and incredible design with their all over bleach prints. Today they are some of the most, if not the most sought after collectable t-shirts in the vintage community. They were one of the first collectible t-shirts to break the $1,000 barrier and till this day there is an allure and mystery behind these t-shirts. Watch this amazing interview to get an in-depth look behind the story of the “Legend of Mosquitohead.”

“T-shirts don’t just come from the air. Behind every great t-shirt is a person/ideas/company/ and designers. The reason Mosquitohead lasted the test of time because it was great art.” 

-Richard Colligan
