Vintage clothing

To those who love vintage:

What's your favorite article of vintage clothing?

What's the best deal you've gotten on a vintage piece?

I LOVE my "Pop-Outs" - platform wooden sandals/roller skates. They work too!

Best deal - I got a 3/4 length black 100% cashmere coat for $10.00 at an estate sale. I'd guess it's 50's or 60's, has the old Adam, Meldrum & Anderson label on it.

Anyone else care to share? Curtis, do you have a favorite grandpa shirt?

DO I?

It is red, black, and silver plaid. I got it for like 5 bucks. It is a classic piece of clothing...I'm telling ya!

It buttons up and fits my figure perfectly. Ineed to take a picture of it so you all can see. That's my favorite piece.

I LOVE Vintage clothing - and I used to totally have a thing for old man shirts....sadly I've only kept one in my collection - I got rid of the rest in an effort to girl up my wardorobe a bit

My favorite piece of vintage is a yellow checkered short sleeve botton down old man shirt

The best deal - and also one of my favorites is my genuine Navy Pea Coat that I got for $30 - I didn't like the buttons though so I put my own on...the weird thing is that the person the coat was originally issued to has the same last name as me - so it was written in the coat when I bought it

I lurve my polyester button-down shirts. I've got some really funky ones and I couldn't live without them.

Um, I love your "Pop Outs" best.

Score!
I like Vintage clothes better on men, or girls other than me. I suppose the best deals I've gotten are my mom's leotards from the seventies.

I paid zero. There's this really cool one that is shiny brown, with long sleeves, only the sleeves, and above a cutout "V" part just above and between the boobies is see through sparkly brown material. I wore it once on my birthday, and someone was all "I don't know where the heck you got that shirt, but it was worth it!!"

I never wear the shirt anymore, though, because even though it's an XL, it fits like a medium o_O Crazy 80s sizes. -_-

I love tight t-shirts and loathe baggy ones. They make me feel huge.

I love my vintage navy blue polkadot babydoll dress, with lace trimmed sleeves and collar. I wear it with my kitten heels, black choker, matte powder and foundation, eyeliner and red lipstick, ala Marilyn/Gwen Stefani. I also adore my vintage Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Damn the Torpedoes shirt, and my Pretenders Get Close shirt, even though it's hella huge. I just wear it belted over a denim mini all 80s. I have a hella cute vintage Garfield shirt I got from my mom for Christmas, as well.

Ohmigosh, I was gonna say that sounds soooo "Gwen, Don't Speak". Then I read the rest...

I love that look, it just doesn't look very good on me. I'm glad some people can wear it, though, cause then I get to see it!

Also, unfortunately, I never wear T-shirts (ok, sometimes my Mac ones) for anything other than excercising. They don't really flatter me.

Thank you!

I *can't* really wear t-shirts at all, but for excercise, but I like them. My favorites are really thin T-shirts that cling around you.

My Pop-outs? SO FUN! I should bring them to NYC.

My white satin kimono robe. The Japanese embroidery on the back is absolutely gorgeous.

I also love my F.M. Mirage tour and Stevie Nicks Belladonna baseball tee concert shirts. I paid a pretty penny for the Stevie one, it's 3/4 sleeve and awesome!

You should. I'm bringing my blades, not that that is really related, but I am, and you should bring your popouts anyway. If I were you? I'd want to wear them around all the time.

I have worn them to work to show them off, but they're really clunky (real wood, about 3 or 4 inches thick) and I fear I may trip & fall & kill myself like my mother always warned me I would!

Well, if you want, I will wear them for you...

I'd have to go with my wine colored wild heart T shirt. It's so thin and soft, and small. It's not only comfy but I love the way it looks. maroon with pink writing. I have it in grey, too, but I don't like that one as much. I love my RAL T shirt, too. It's white and looks just like the album cover. It's also very thin and soft. Other than my vintage T shirts, I don't have alot of vintage clothes anymore. I used to have TONS!
