CK Sweatshirts are here to heat you up!

It’s getting cold out!  Wondering how to wear Calvin Klein during the winter months? We’ve got vintage CK sweatshirts in stock for all shapes and sizes.  Whether you look like a ’90s CK model or not, METROPOLIS VINTAGE has something for everyone.  Come visit our shop downtown at 803 Broadway in Manhattan.  Would you rather look like one of the shapeless masses wrapped in an ill-fitting puffy coat  with a hat and ten scarves?  We didn’t think so either.  Wrap yourself up in those initials and look cool while keeping warm!

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!

A tale of TUXEDO TAILCOATS at Metropolis Vintage!

What could be more dapper than a tuxedo coat with tails? Also known as a “swallow-tail” or “claw hammer“, flip on Turner Classic Movies at any given time and you’re bound to see a dapper gent wearing one. Everyone from Clark Gable to Fred Astaire owned one, the latter immortalized his tailcoat in song during one of his most famous films of 1935.  While the world may not yet be ready for a top hat or monocle resurgence, the tailcoat looks elegant and adds the edge of class you need for that extra special occasion. Unfortunately, they are becoming harder and harder to find these days, but we at METROPOLIS VINTAGE remain eagle-eyed and stalwartly search for the finest in vintage menswear for you. Come on down and catch the tail of a tuxedo tailcoat before they’re all gone!

Check it out here! We appear at approximately 4:33, but the whole episode is great:

Chris Brow takes us along on his rather special New York city walk. He shows us what the “Big Apple” has to offer over and above classic points of interest in terms of culture, fashion and entertainment. So Chris takes us on a stroll through the districts of Brooklyn, Queens and of course Manhattan. Expect a few surprise discoveries!
