JNCO Jeans Are Back at Metropolis Vintage!

If you’ve been pining for the days when denim meant wide, wild, and wonderfully oversized, then get ready to head on over to Metropolis Vintage, because we’ve just received a heaping haul of legendary JNCO jeans. That’s right – those ultra-baggy, graffiti-emblazoned pants that defined ’90s streetwear culture and made them a staple of skate, rave, and hip-hop scenes. Their bold, embroidered designs were a cultural phenomenon and are now ready to resurface. Some of you may know that JNCO stands for “Judge None, Choose One” – and we promise not to judge you if you do buy more than one pair from our insane JNCO collection. When you see what we’ve found, it will be nearly impossible to resist. Stacks of JNCO for guys, JNCO for girls, and even a heap of JNCO shorts. Calling all JNCO junkies – get over here and check all of them out!

If you’re not local – we’ve got some available at our online store:

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!
