Timeless men’s style magazine GQ just featured Metropolis Vintage as one of their picks for BEST ONLINE VINTAGE. They spotlighted two picks: our Coheed & Cambria and a Backstreet Boys Tour Shirt from 2001. As they put it:
“Metropolis Vintage does carry some Tupac and vintage ’90s boy band tees, but they specialize in classic Rock & Roll T-shirts. Odds are they have your favorite band on a once-upon-a-time-beefy, now-practically-diaphanous 100% cotton tee.”

Vintage t-shirts have become more than just collectibles but are now a big staple in fashion and pop culture today. With the ever-growing demand for vintage clothing the vintage market has expanded along with this increase for vintage fashion. Retailers such as Urban Outfitters, and Nordstrom have dipped their toes into vintage but not quite like the recent J. Crew capsule collaboration with Metropolis Vintage. The capsule features a full collection of original curated vintage music tees ranging from as early as the 1970’s. Each piece was specifically chosen to go with their new concepts and bring new life to the brand as they target a younger audience. It is great to see the impact vintage clothing can have on big retailers and its influence on fashion as a whole.
The full collection is currently available at J. Crew’s Brooklyn location on Wythe Avenue.
Recently owner of Metropolis Richard Colligan hopped on a call with Bidstitch to discuss his thoughts on this most recent dive into this huge retail market space. Clink the link below to read the full article covering the collaboration with J. Crew. Special thank you to Bidstich for the featured article!

East Coast Connection Vol. 3
East Coast Connection Vol. 3 was another successful event here at Metropolis. This time we hosted a two day event with new vendors each day. There were over 20 of the best vintage t-shirt dealers in the building ready to sell, buy, and trade. The turnout was amazing both days with over 300 attendants and that’s just from what was counted! A live DJ was on site (@chambrayallday) mixing on the turntables setting the vibe for both days and we even had raffle prizes the second day. The first raffle winner won a copy of Kelly Cole’s photo-book “Naughty Vintage T-Shirts.” The next two raffle prize winners received a $50 Metropolis gift card, and a $100 Metropolis gift card. Our grand prize raffle winner won a “Roc the mic 2003 Tour” t-shirt. Overall ECC Vol. 3 was nothing less than a success with noticeable growth from our previous events. The community is only growing in the vintage world and we’re proud to be apart of pushing vintage culture forward. East Coast Connection Vol. 4 is in the works and we’re working hard on making this the best vintage t-shirt expo to date here in New York City. Follow our official instagram page @east_coast.connection for highlights of our previous events and stay tuned for details as we continue to post updates for East Coast Connection Vol. 4

Well, the gods of METROPOLIS VINTAGE were smiling upon us when we unearthed this new collection of original, authentic FIRE RESISTANT FLIGHT JACKETS. They’re military issue, have got space for proper patches, the whole nine yards.
