Babe Ruth. Mickey Mantle. Lou Gehrig. Derek Jeter. Joe DiMaggio Yogi Berra. Mariano Rivera. Whitey Ford.

Some of the greatest names in baseball history. Do you consider yourself a Yankees fan? You may not have been there when they were known as The Highlanders, or have one of their original road uniforms, as pictured above. But neither do we! However, what we do have is a huge basement section filled with vintage sports clothing, and wall dedicated to the New York Yankees! Items not quite as early as 1914, but certainly hard to find – vintage satin jackets, t-shirts, uniforms, windbreakers and more, from years past. Step right up and get your hands on some red hot vintage Yankees action!

In the 1990’s Michael Jordan helped take the NBA and the sport of basketball to new levels. Winning 6 titles in just 6 tries with the Chicago Bulls as they dominated the era of the 90’s.  In 2020 ESPN released a 10-part documentary series called “The Last Dance” that provided an in-depth look at the Chicago Bulls’ dynasty through the lens of the final championship season in 1997-1998. In May 2021 Saturday Night Live featured a parody sketch of “The Last Dance” with Keegan-Michael Key as Jordan, and Kenan Thompson as Charles Barkley. The SNL version takes a scene from the 1993 Finals, when Jordan’s Bulls squared off with Charles Barkley’s Phoenix Suns.  Kenan Thompson can be seen wearing vintage Phoenix Suns pieces from Metropolis Vintage NYC, as he plays the role of Charles Barkley.

 Overalls have come a long way from the cliche image of the farmer and the oil-stained on-duty mechanic!  Though versions were used as early as 1792, overalls as we popularly know them (the “bib-and-brace” style) came into effect around 1891.  After decades of hard work,  the durable denim overall came into fashion, evolving from cornfed to cool.   What once was protective gear for WWI-era mothers working in factories became a staple for the earth mother of the 1960’s and beyond.  Even the ’90s found overalls being repopularized by Hip Hop artists such as Tupac and Kris Kross.  Suddenly, they’re back.  Once again, we here at METROPOLIS VINTAGE have anticipated the trend and have a wide selection of overalls for you, from the traditional dark denim variety, to the popular “Shortalls” or “Skirtalls” which have been cut into shorts or modified to become a dress.  Perfect for summer wear in the country OR the city!
