East Coast Connection Vol. 3

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

East Coast Connection Vol. 2

East Coast Connection Vol.2
East Coast Connection is a collective comprised of @futurepastnyc, @freshkillsvintage, and @metropolisnycvintage. The goal of East Coast Connection is to bring people together in the vintage world, hearing their stories, and building connections that go beyond just business. East Coast Connection Vol. 2 went down on May 30th live from Metropolis. Some of the best vintage t-shirt dealers from all over the country came together under one roof for an amazing experience we like to refer as “The New York t-shirt exchange.” It’s where instagram meets real life. Where new connections and friendships are made that creates an experience like no other when it comes to vintage clothing in New York City. East Coast Connection Vol. 2 featured 15 vendors from all over the country for a one day event. Vendors brought out their best shirts for everyone to see. Some of the best t-shirts or “grails” you only see online or in pictures were on display during East Coast Connection Vol. 2. Buying, selling, and trading went down throughout the event and many left with a smile on their face. This was one to remember and just one of many East Coast Connection installments. We would like to thank everyone who took part in this and made ECC Vol.2 an amazing event. See you at ECC Vol. 3!!!

East Coast Connection
On November 2, 2020 @Futurepastnyc & @freshkillsvintage came together for the first installment of East Coast Connection. It went down @richmondhoodco in Staten Island, New York. It was amazing to see the vintage community come together over the same passion & interests, building bonds that can only be created in person. This first event was the spark that continues to grow & pushes vintage culture forward. Stay tuned for announcements concerning upcoming East Coast Connection events!

“The 10 Best Vintage Clothing Shops in NYC”
https://www.complex.com/style/vintage-shops-nyc/metropolis-vintage
Special thanks to Complex for featuring us as one of the best vintage clothing stores in New York City. As mentioned by Complex, Metropolis vintage has been around since 1990, owned and operated by Richard Colligan. However its vintage roots go deeper than that. Richard started selling vintage clothing in flea markets back in 1984 in SOHO – a time when downtown seemed like the center of the world, when street artists were pushing their way to the top and cut off jeans were high fashion. Since then Metropolis has continued to keep its pulse on top of vintage trends and continues to push vintage culture forward in New York City.
Metropolis is known for our big collection of vintage band tees as stated in the Complex article but the store offers so much more. The priority at Metropolis is not concentrating on one category but giving the customer a variety of items. Besides vintage band tees we carry vintage t-shirts from different genres like comics, wrestling, rap, cartoons, anime, TV and film, 90’s pop culture, to some of the rarest vintage shirts like Mosquitohead’s. But the store isn’t limited to just t-shirts and thats what really sets Metropolis apart. Here at Metropolis you can find vintage Levi Jeans, flannel shirts, motorcycle jackets, overalls, army surplus, sports jerseys/jackets, and even custom dyed Carhartt jackets. In this video below you’ll get a quick glimpse inside the store as owner Richard Colligan gives a brief history of his beginnings working with vintage clothing in New York City and what makes Metropolis stand out.
