Check out our FRINGED JACKETS for MEN!

Mad-men-stan-leather-fringe

We’ve noticed one item making an unexpected comeback with the clientele in our store – MEN’S FRINGED JACKETS! Dennis Hopper and John Voight both helped to popularize this look in films like Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider, and you may have caught Stan from Mad Men rocking a sweet suede version this season. Though it looks super cool, fringe originally served a purpose – letting rain drip off and getting the jacket to dry much faster. You may not have any use for that if you thought ahead to bring an umbrella, but all that fringe will surely look cool swinging back and forth while you’re running from the ladies!

Stay as dry as British Royalty with one of our BARBOUR JACKETS!

Posted on May 20, 2015 by metropolisvintage | Comments Off

Originally founded back in 1894 as an oil cloth import service, the company J. Barbour & Sons was famously known for their waterproof waxed-cotton jackets. Due to the infamously soggy British climate, these jackets became a staple of British life and soon spread in popularity across the world. Today, many similar waxed-cotton jackets are referred to as “Barbour Jackets”, whether made by Barbour or not! Lady Diana was often seen sporting a Barbour throughout the 1980’s when she could certainly have had anything she wanted to wear. We have quite a few currently in store, so stop by and pick one up. If it’s good enough to keep British Royalty dry, it’s probably good enough for you, too!

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!
