Posted on February 23, 2014 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

We here at METROPOLIS VINTAGE specialize in every era of vintage clothing but one thing that we do cover that many ignore is the pop culture angle of vintage collecting. Those other stores may be too cool but, hey, that’s too bad for them. Remember all of those T-Shirts you grew up with that Mom threw away when you weren’t looking? They’re considered vintage at this point. We’re fans as well and are always on the lookout. METROPOLIS VINTAGE’s T-Shirt archives have a full selection of classic cartoon, television and movie icons from yesteryear. Trekkie or Star Wars fan? BATMAN? Golden Age of WARNER BROTHERS? Vampire The Masquerade? DISNEY? Even Beavis And Butthead? They’re all waiting for you down here at METROPOLIS!

New York City’s Largest Selection of Vintage U.S. NAVY PEA COATS!

Posted on December 29, 2013 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

Here at Metropolis Vintage, the winter’s coming into full swing and sailors know there’s no better way to keep warm than buttoned up in a fine vintage U.S. Navy Pea Coat. Naval rumor has it that the heavy blue twill fabric known as “pilot cloth” gave them the name “Pilot Jackets”, which was eventually shortened to just the letter “P” and “Pea Coat” along the way. With the trademark oversized buttons, and slash or vertical pockets, their style has hardly changed in the years since their inception. Designed for maximum protection and maximum durability, Pea Coats have been a longtime favorite for seafaring men and landlubbers alike, since they’re not only warm but stylish. Metropolis Vintage has a variety of Pea Coats, from the classic 1950’s Navy-issue blue jacket to more modern versions in white or black. You’ll cut a dashing figure while trudging through the rain and snow this winter!

JORDANS : Rebellious Vintage Sneakers? We’ve got them!

Posted on December 22, 2013 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

The original AIR JORDANS from 1985 were initially designed in red and black to match the team colors of the CHICAGO BULLS. Soon afterward, the NBA Commissioner banned them from the court, stating that they violated the dress code. Did this deter Michael Jordan? Hell no. He was fined $5000 every time he stepped into play wearing those sneakers, yet he never stopped wearing them. Nike foot the bill but it was a small price to pay because soon they had a sensation on their hands. “On October 18th, the NBA threw them out of the game. Fortunately, the NBA can’t stop you from wearing them.” went the famous ad. Rumor had it that there was something special about that sneaker, something that would give you the edge over your competitors. Soon, they added white to the red and black color scheme, which the NBA deemed appropriate, but the legend of the AIR JORDAN was already set. Jordans went through many more versions over the years and, like many relics from the ’80s are hard to come by nowadays. Luckily, we have some in stock here at METROPOLIS VINTAGE, obtained from our secret cache of ’80s gear. Stop in and have a look, and a flashback to the days of Michael Jordan and Mars Blackmon a.k.a. Spike Lee!
