Posted on December 28, 2018 by metropolis metropolis | Comments Off

As the New Year approaches, we can now officially announce that METROPOLIS VINTAGE will be MOVING to our new location in APRIL of 2019! Don’t worry, we’re only shifting three blocks away to a much bigger and even better space at 803 BROADWAY. Between 11th and 12th. There, we’ll be across the street from FLIGHT CLUB and HALLOWEEN ADVENTURE, and new neighbors to comic sales superheroes FORBIDDEN PLANET and legendary bookstore THE STRAND. Stay tuned through the next few months as we’ll announce more details about the GRAND OPENING. Until then, we’ll still happily see you at our usual location over on 43 Third Avenue.

Happy New Year from all of us at METROPOLIS!

OVERALLS: VERY FAR FROM THE FARM!

Posted on August 4, 2014 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

VINTAGE OVERALLS BUY

Overalls have come a long way from the cliche image of the farmer and the oil-stained on-duty mechanic! Though versions were used as early as 1792, overalls as we popularly know them (the “bib-and-brace” style) came into effect around 1891. After decades of hard work, the durable denim overall came into fashion, evolving from cornfed to cool. What once was protective gear for WWI-era mothers working in factories became a staple for the earth mother of the 1960’s and beyond. Even the ’90s found overalls being repopularized by Hip Hop artists such as Tupac and Kris Kross. Suddenly, they’re back. Once again, we here at METROPOLIS VINTAGE have anticipated the trend and have a wide selection of overalls for you, from the traditional dark denim variety, to the popular “Shortalls” or “Skirtalls” which have been cut into shorts or modified to become a dress. Perfect for summer wear in the country OR the city!

Posted on February 23, 2014 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

We here at METROPOLIS VINTAGE specialize in every era of vintage clothing but one thing that we do cover that many ignore is the pop culture angle of vintage collecting. Those other stores may be too cool but, hey, that’s too bad for them. Remember all of those T-Shirts you grew up with that Mom threw away when you weren’t looking? They’re considered vintage at this point. We’re fans as well and are always on the lookout. METROPOLIS VINTAGE’s T-Shirt archives have a full selection of classic cartoon, television and movie icons from yesteryear. Trekkie or Star Wars fan? BATMAN? Golden Age of WARNER BROTHERS? Vampire The Masquerade? DISNEY? Even Beavis And Butthead? They’re all waiting for you down here at METROPOLIS!
