Banana Republic 101: History and Vintage Buyers Guide to an American Mall Staple

[@dylanp30]

I've found a few pieces where the tag said "safari and travel clothing". So cool.

[@CoyoteSharp]

Yup!

[@Winsto25]

don't know why your channel hasn't blown up yet, every video is a must watch for me now

[@CoyoteSharp]

Glad you enjoy! More to come.

[@kylekulesa4123]

Absolutely insane that your channel isn't on the top of everyone's list. This is amazing content! Thank you!!

[@jovanASM2006]

Love the overshirt!

[@CoyoteSharp]

Thanks! Same here.

[@BriLamberson]

Side note: those vintage BR catalogs remind me very much of J Peterman. Which has amazing quality items. And they also instantly reminded me of the Duluth Trading Co catalogs now.

[@rhithym]

This was absolutely amazing, please keep up the great work!

[@CoyoteSharp]

Thank you! Appreciate that.

[@slomantm]

[@justcallrizq4589]

[@jacobfletcher7454]

Midnight in Paris is SO good!! This video was awesome man, keep up the good work!

[@CoyoteSharp]

Agreed! And thanks.

[@xXs7evnXx]

I’ve watched all of your videos they are incredible! I would love to see a dive into older American Eagle or Abercrombie, Cheers!🍻

[@CoyoteSharp]

Abercrombie just dropped!

[@mynameisdillworth]

Great video and quick guide to vintage BR! (Nice shirt in the A&F video too...)

[@agomodern]

I used to get J Peterman (yep, the same company from Seinfeld) catalogs in the mail in the early 90s and their catalogs were filled with storytelling and myth just like those BR catalogs. Weird thing is that there were no real photos of clothing, just sketches. I really liked the styling of the clothing during their "transition" period. It was more like sleek no frill city safari.

[@Tumakpixels]

Those illustrations from banana republic is giving adventure time vibes

[@jorgeluisdelrio7449]

GREAT CONTENT🙌👏

[@BriLamberson]

This video rocks. I’d love to see more on BR. I’ve got tons of great late 90s BR that I wear on a regular basis. I also have pieces that I bought brand new 20 year ago that still look new. As an elder millennial I can say BR used to be an experience. It fades but now it’s back. Have you seen that they launched a home goods collection?! They seem to be thriving.

[@NGS93]

Oh yeah, its a good day when Coyote Sharp drops a vid. Thanks for this deep dive!

[@CoyoteSharp]

Haha thanks! And glad you appreciate!

[@kittymurrah7400]

Banana Republic was my all time favorite store!! I still have a flight suit!

[@CoyoteSharp]

Hold on to it!

[@BougieGlam]

Yes I remember those catalogues and loved the Tshirts with exotic animals and ppl on Safari. ❤❤

[@CoyoteSharp]

The catalogs are something else

[@mkymustard]

Your channel is amazing! Keep this content coming!

[@ShervinsGarage]

This was the first video of yours I saw a few months back and I instantly subscribed. Love your style and of course this niche topic. At some point, I'd love a nice vintage Banana Republic leather jacket.

[@lawncosmetology5906]

I love the banana republic safari line

[@fellowgamer5363]

Crazy good channel bro you got a bright future

[@NooneStaar]

This is such a good video, subbed. Would love to know how you made it so well lol

[@CoyoteSharp]

Thanks! And I learned all I know from KZbin.

[@canadafree2087]

So the early BR was the US version of Tilley Endurables. I do like their Traveler pants for comfort.

[@CoyoteSharp]

I’m not super familiar with Tilley but seems like an apt comparison. And the yeah the traveler pants. I owned a pair. Just remember them being vvvvery stretchy.

[@James-q1j3f]

Where was the original banana republic store in Philadelphia

[@andrewbarr9178]

Is that a vintage polo camp collar shirt in the background

[@CoyoteSharp]

Good eye sir!

[@wilmyers3055]

how do you feel about the brand post-rebrand?

[@CoyoteSharp]

Haven’t had much exposure to it. At a quick glance styling looks decent but can’t speak to quality.

[@jacobfletcher7454]

Mate what’s that striped shirt in the back??

[@CoyoteSharp]

Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren camp shirt. Covered in race horses. One of my favorites.

[@ralphmarkasher]

I still have 2 shirts I bought back in the early 1980s

[@CoyoteSharp]

Hold on to them!

[@roberttudisco6530]

You should do J Peterman next!

[@CoyoteSharp]

I’ll consider

[@sanangelo7926]

Panama Jack

[@CoyoteSharp]

Similar vibes in some ways

[@matheusmarini7432]

Modern Banana Republic looks so dead and boring looking at the vintage stuff it had waaay more personality.
