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.
