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!

 

 

 

METROPOLIS Christmas Window by JAMES & KARLA MURRAY

Metropolis Vintage is honored to have our Christmas window captured by James & Karla Murray for their collection of the best East Village storefront windows this year!  The Murrays have made their name photographing the changing face of NYC over the past few decades.  Check out their photo books for some really cool, old world signage and remnants of old New York!

Here are some of our favorite Christmas window displays around Greenwich Village and the East Village, NYC this year. These are all from small independent businesses!  #shopsmall  We wish everyone a very happy holiday and a joyous New Year!

Across “the pond” they call them “jumpers”… here they are “Ugly Christmas Sweaters” and are big business…

Return of the Long Sleeved Rock Shirts

A staple of the 1990’s, the long sleeved rock shirt adorned many a grunge kid and any skateboarder worth his salt.  Lately, this tradition seems to have been taken over by the metal crowd, but we at Metropolis Vintage have been collecting these for some time now and think the public is ready for them once again!  We’ve unearthed a huge batch which we’ve just put out on the racks so you can replace the short sleeve version with the longer, winterized model.

‘TIS A NEW YEAR for POLO and HILFIGER!

You’ve been buying up our stock of RALPH LAUREN POLO and TOMMY HILFIGER year ’round and we’ve got a new batch for the start of the year that you’ll kill for.  Don’t get left out in the cold!

At the moment I’m pressing this button, there’s only one month left until Burning Man 2016.  The countdown is on!  Missing that extra something special to make you stand out in that desert of freewheeling, freeloving, costumed hippies, steampunks and madmen?  We’ve got a full supply of cool, unique items here at Metropolis Vintage.  Come down and perfect your look today!

The clock is ticking!  Get down to Metropolis Vintage and find that one-of-a-kind-item!
