Babe Ruth. Mickey Mantle. Lou Gehrig. Derek Jeter. Joe DiMaggio Yogi Berra. Mariano Rivera. Whitey Ford.

Some of the greatest names in baseball history. Do you consider yourself a Yankees fan? You may not have been there when they were known as The Highlanders, or have one of their original road uniforms, as pictured above. But neither do we! However, what we do have is a huge basement section filled with vintage sports clothing, and wall dedicated to the New York Yankees! Items not quite as early as 1914, but certainly hard to find – vintage satin jackets, t-shirts, uniforms, windbreakers and more, from years past. Step right up and get your hands on some red hot vintage Yankees action!

We’ve noticed one item making an unexpected comeback with the clientele in our store – MEN’S FRINGED JACKETS!  Dennis Hopper and John Voight both helped to popularize this look in films like Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider, and you may have caught Stan from Mad Men rocking a sweet suede version this season.  Though it looks super cool, fringe originally served a purpose – letting rain drip off and getting the jacket to dry much faster.  You may not have any use for that if you thought ahead to bring an umbrella, but all that fringe will surely look cool swinging back and forth while you’re running from the ladies!

Are you a Tommy Boy or Girl?  Did you miss out the first time around?  We’ve got TOMMY HILFIGER in stock year ’round – long sleeve, short sleeve, polo shirts and  jackets, all kinds. Tommy Sport? Got it, too.

“At Pendleton Woolen Mills, Clarence Morton Bishop envisioned a different kind of fabric for a man’s wool shirt. Pendleton’s sophisticated weaving capabilities were producing vibrant Indian trade blankets. Why not bring that same weaving and color know-how to flannel shirting?  After much weaving experimentation and hard work, Pendleton’s innovative Umatilla shirting fabric rolled off the loom. The positive response was immediate. After World War II, the concept of sportswear emerged in American society.  While hunting, fishing, or pursuing his hobbies, Dad very often wore a Pendleton shirt.  Throughout the 20th century, clothing trends have emerged from workwear and traveled into the fashion mainstream. Casual and colorful, leisurewear symbolized the end of privation and the return of the good life.”
