Vintage CARHARTT Sweatshirts

 

CARHARTT has long been the name for dependable, durable, rugged work wear.  There’s no better option when it’s time to keep warm and look cool.  In those cases where one would want something a bit more lightweight, never fear, we at METROPOLIS have collected a fine selection of CARHARTT SWEATSHIRTS for you.  They’ve always been popular on the street, but they’ve gone straight to the top since Kanye West was spotted walking around in one or two items.  Kick off the new year in a Carhartt sweatshirt and you’ll be ready for anything!

 

 

 

Stay as dry as British Royalty with one of our BARBOUR JACKETS!

BARBOURJACKETSMETROPOLISVINTAGE

Originally founded back in 1894 as an oil cloth import service, the company J. Barbour & Sons was famously known for their waterproof waxed-cotton jackets.  Due to the infamously soggy British climate, these jackets became a staple of British life and soon spread in popularity across the world.  Today, many similar waxed-cotton jackets are referred to as “Barbour Jackets”, whether made by Barbour or not!  Lady Diana was often seen sporting a Barbour throughout the 1980’s when she could certainly have had anything she wanted to wear.  We have quite a few currently in store, so stop by and pick one up.  If it’s good enough to keep British Royalty dry, it’s probably good enough for you, too!

 

 

CARHARTT COATS

CARHARTT

Here in New York City, it’s definitely CARHARTT weather outside! Want to spend a chilly night rushing from door to cab to club and back again? We didn’t think so. Grab one of these CARHARTT JACKETS and you can stroll down the street, properly warm – yet calm, cool, and collected – while everyone else is scurrying about. These stylish, durable jackets originally came from Detroit, where the company started producing work overalls for railroad men back in 1899. Unbelievably, CARHARTT has remained a family-owned company for the last 115 years, as it’s still owned by the descendants of founder Hamilton Carhartt.  METROPOLIS VINTAGE stands as a testament to the lasting quality of the CARHARTT jacket as we have a good collection here, still waiting to protect you against the winter elements!
