Best Men’s Vintage

  • Stock

    143 E. 13th St., nr. Third Ave.; 212-505-2505

    The vintage fashion world is generally focused on women, making this meticulously curated boutique particularly noteworthy. Buyer Melissa Howard studies old catalogues for reference on various eras’ apparel styles. If you want the provenance of your denim jacket or leather aviator coat provenance, she knows it.

There are also accessories like twenties dead-stock ties ($45), English hunting bags from the thirties ($225), and a stash of oversize leather trucker wallets ($125).
