Whew, it feels like a long time since I’ve gotten in a considerable amount of new stuff, probably only a little bit over a week, but there’s so much new stuff in.

Like what?

Vintage Rompers.

Vintage dresses, shapely, sexy, shorter vintage dresses.

Vintage skirts.

Some leather jackets.

Lots of random ass vintage tops. Just all over the map here for the tops, shirts, blouses, short, long, tees, tanks, it’s really impossible to categorize.

Of course since I put this stuff out this morning and last night some items have sold.

A few people asked me about getting in vintage buttons for repairs and crafts. So I got some vintage buttons, which just makes sense since sometimes buttons just come off of vintage clothing. Now all I have to do is learn how to sew a button. If anyone knows where I can take a sewing class in Burlington Vermont let me know.

Wayfarer sunglasses have been around since the 50′s and since then they have been the most popular style of sunglasses ever. Because there are so many different styles of sunglasses I really try to focus on getting people exactly what they want and since most people either want wayfarers or aviators I have more styles of aviators and wayfarer sunglasses than anyone… IN THE WORLD MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wayfarer sunglasses and aviator sunglasses are just natural classic styles that go well with vintage clothes.

Yeah we got that.

I don’t know where have these sunglasses been all my life, how did it take me so long to find these and how can I ever live without them again?

Thanks D-balls for this. It looks like Brooks Brothers has collaborated with Levis Strauss & Co to get some honest to goodness “Made in the USA” Levis for the Brooks Brothers stores. They all appear to be $148.00.

I read not too long ago that Levis closed their last USA factory in 2004, so I am not sure if they opened a new factory in the USA or they are having someone else make these jeans for them… or if that bit of trivia was not correct to begin with.

Of course almost all the Levis in my store are Made in the USA and they’re start at around $25. But I’m glad to see that Brooks Brothers cares.

Do you ever get the feeling that your shirt just isn’t hugging your crotch snuggly enough? Onesie! Do you ever think that panties and bra is just too much underwear? Onesie! Do you just want a couple of snaps between your legs? Onesie!

Well,  just got in a bunch of 80′s blouses/shirts/t-shirts in the best color pallet of all times, 80′s pastels, baby. Puffy paint, blocky stripes, strange patterns of fabric and seams that defy the imagination, well that’s what I’ve got.

I saw this link on the Battery Street Jeans facebook wall. Thank you Jezebel for this gem of a quote “American Apparel is probably f***ed.” Well, this all came about because American Apparel’s auditing firm resigned due to problems it discovered with American Apparels reporting, but Jezebel is quick to point out a host of other reasons why American Apparel is screwed and mercifully it doesn’t have anything to do with their US based manufacturing. The symptom is double digit percentage monthly year over year same store sales decreases. So in 2009 the each American Apparel store did about 11% less sales than they did the year before. Jezebel attributes this to terrible decision making on the part of the CEO particularly: hiring unqualified store managers, using company money to rent luxury apartments for store employees that the CEO was sleeping with, not hiring a new CFO (chief financial officer) for ages after the previous one died of a heart attack and law suits from Woody Allen and sexual harassment cases. It sounds like American Apparel used a lot of credit to fuel it’s enormous retail expansion and may soon be at the mercy of it’s creditors.

Vintage jump suits and rompers are hard to find! But I finally got some in, today, fresh on the rack. I’ve carved out a little niche for them where my tie die used to be. Now that I’ve got a couple dozen pieces including a really sweet red polka-dot dead-stock romper from the 70′s with the tags still on it from the original department store “Helen Smith” which doesn’t exist anymore as far as I can tell.

Come in soon, they’re selling quick.
