Vintage Shopping in New York City (What I learned...)

[@turnupwhenimaround8189]

Hi! I am very surprised that the vintage community hasn't actually told you what year the batman shirt was from. The copyright that you see was the copyright for the graphic. A common mistake people would make is that they would depend on the copyright date on the graphic to determine the date of the manufacturing of the shirt. However, we can date your vintage batman shirt with the shirt tag that the graphic was printed on. You can use many resources to cross-reference common vintage wholesale brand tags (i.e., Hanes, Gildan, in this case, Oneita). For your batman shirt, the Oneita tag that it has is the "Power/50" one, which is seen around the late 80s and early 90s. This is definitely still a vintage tee but would not date back to the 60s. Overall, solid pickups man! Good vibes only :)

Swedish speaking Finn here! You are indeed correct, the cap is Swedish! It says "Sätila Basketball Elite series -95" in the front. Sätila is a town in Sweden and I assume that is a local basketball club's hat! There is also a knitwear etc brand called Sätila, which I believe originates from the town. On the side it says "hobby commercial/hobby sponsorship", so it might be something about local sponsor stuff for the team! A cool find especially from a store in Denver! 😄 EDIT: I actually found picture of the basketball club wearing those exact caps you found! Amazing backstory to an item! That's what I personally love about vintage pieces!

[@DrewJoiner]

This hat just became 100x cooler you are the best🤝

[@NiiloHargut]

@@DrewJoiner I sent the pic to your IG DMs so you can check it out! And 1000% cool hat 🤠

[@yasirnaimi6675]

I live like 100 miles from Sätila and i have never heard of it, now i know about it through a cool guy that lives in Denver traveld to New York looking for a vintage hat 😂 i fucking love the internet ❤

[@KaitlinGaspar]

yeah i’ve been in NYC for 5 years and the prices are insane and every shop is picked clean. it’s way too competitive at the vintage shops and i just have lost a lotta hope for thrifting here

[@JoeMama-vg7ef]

went thrifting yesterday and macklemores thrift shop doesnt feel too accurate lmfao

[@hc661]

i love how this shows the reality of vintage shopping, sometimes you just cant find shit 🤣

Just want to say as a recent subscriber, I really enjoy your energy in all your videos. Idk how to describe it just comfy vibes 💯🔥

I came to comment exactly this, also a new subscriber and I love the chill vibes of this video

[@tanaysomisetty]

Next time you're in NYC, I recommend checking out some vintage and second hand stores around the Dimes Square area (in between Chinatown and LES). There's a TON of vintage stores right by each other! Let me know if you want the names of some specific stores

[@mileszarick7250]

I’d like some names lol

[@Jasmine-tr1zs]

I’d also like some names!

[@youtubev0idfps696]

Pass the names

[@tanaysomisetty]

Harley’s, Country Of, Landline Vintage, Superette, Lara Koleji are some of the one’s I’ve been to in the area…all within walking distance. There’s a ton more but these are the ones I can remember

[@youtubev0idfps696]

@@tanaysomisetty let me know all of them i wanna go thrifting

[@dubssalamander]

Wait a minute, it’s not Sunday!

[@DrewJoiner]

😂 2 for 1 special coming your way

[@xxflamezxx1able]

I’m from NYC so you hit up a lot of popular spots. Thrifting here in NYC has gotten very hard, lots of expensive spots that are very curated and less and less truly vintage shops to find those 10 dollar gems. Also that pointer brand is amazing, I believe they are called LC King Mfg so the fact that it’s pointer brand makes it relatively older.

[@catnip4587]

It’s getting harder to find the hidden gem. Thrift and vintage stores are raising prices due to increased demand and thrifting is very trendy at this time. In NYC anyway good luck

[@Jenovard]

What’s considered expensive for vintage t-shirts in the States now? I lived in Tokyo for a long time and just moved to LA. Highly recommend Tokyo for vintage. Specifically the Shimokitazawa area. New York Joe is one spot. I’m there now and had so much fun. For vintage designer goods the Kindal shops around the city are good too. And with the crazy exchange rate it’s a great time to shop.

[@RobiYorkMusic]

People need to understand the difference between "thrifting" and "vinatge shopping". The types of vintage shops he visited usually purchase the items they sell and are in expensive places to have a store. So the prices are always gonna be extreme. Thrifting has changed also because of these vintage shops. The thrifts like Goodwill and Salvation Army have gotten hip to the game and now price their shit higher based on the brands. Carhartt Jackets were $30 MAX 5+ years ago. It was easier to spend $20 at the thrift and leave with 5 things back in the day.

[@JTMYG]

Even though the Batman t-shirt has a copyright date of 1965. That’s not the actual date it’s probably another copyright date for Batman in itself from DC Comics. The Onieta Power/50 tag on it shows that it is an 80’s shirt which is still cool 👍🏽

[@giacomospaul]

london vlog would go crazy! there’s a great vintage scene especially in areas like camden/brick lane etc

[@aviansays]

There is just so many people them pick it bone dry. You have to know when they come in with new clothes and be the absolute first people in there. The prices just follow the law of supply and demand. It's wild. Source: lived in east village. That was a fun a year, enjoy it!! Liking the vids Drew!

[@davidtaylor1619]

I'm from Ohio and Ive been thrifting for a very long time in my city, which is Youngstown. When I moved to NYC I expected a huge range of great pieces with decent prices. But no! NYC store owners, vendors know their brands and quality. So they charge "Boutique" prices on they're vintage products. At some point when I was living in NYC, I found myself missing my hometown in Ohio. Just for some quality Thrift grabs 😂. I feel you Drew... There are some great hidden gems in NYC still. Go to Harlem. I caught mad heat at the Goodwill on 135th!!!!

[@cathrinaugusti1052]

I would have belived there to be more interesting stuff in NY. But may be Copenhagen is quite awesome, for getting vintage and thriftet clothes after all.

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

NYC sucks for vintage surprised why so many people go there for vintage is the worse, I find better vintage gear in states like Missouri then I do in NYC

[@victorschmidt3147]

Love the jazz as background music🤗😋

love this vlog format, keep up the solid work man 🔥

[@_yosh_101]

you should go to thriftcon in Denver next month. I haven't been to the one in denver but the one in Houston is SUPER fun!!

[@tanaysomisetty]

Super excited to hear you may move here to NYC! Great video and I definitely agree that vintage shopping here can be pretty expensive. I also make NYC content so this was a fun watch

[@324jackattack]

as a brooklynite, seeing places i recognize in your vid is very cool. loved this

[@JafacaksWasTaken]

rare avery sighting in the wild

[@anandai3480]

oh wow i live in nyc and these are the exact spots i would go to when im in the mood for vintage shopping!

[@Anne_fka_XATM038x]

Waaaaa I love this!! Thank you for getting a lot of shots of the city too

[@4dollarsamsung]

Best way to wash used baseball/trucker hats is in the dish washer. Keeps the shape of the hat and cleans it rly well

[@athenamorgann]

Yay!!! I’ve been wanting to watch another vlog from you 🤩

[@jonsnow5907]

I love New York City 🏙️❤️

[@AKhan.28]

I went to NYC last month. Did some shopping at Kith, ALD, Stussy, and Prada. I honestly didn't have time to do any vintage shopping. Next time I'll def have to hit up these stores you went to.

[@martinpettersson1963]

The cap is from a swedish basketball team in the highest division, the team is called Sätila Basket and the cap’s from the 1995 season

[@Deonehouse]

Round Two started on the East coast in Richmond VA I was one of those kids that hung out and skated in front of the original location #brokecitykids 😅😅😅😅

[@jacobmperry]

I've just come back from London and ngl I had the same issue, there was just nothing in the vintage stores that I loved, they're just so curated in the UK so every store has the same exact stuff It feels a bit soulless. A tad hypocritical of me but the only item of clothing I ended up buying was an olive shirt from Uniqlo. I tried on the Camion boots at Our Legacy and my god do I want them, too bad I'll have to sell an organ. #PVV I'm a very big fan of French hydrangeas

It's nice to see Avery. A shame he stopped posting on KZbin

[@sammykerns4397]

Was just vintage shopping in nyc myself! I was so excited to visit round two but they closed down! it was the only store i knew about ahead of time and was one i’d ALWAYS wanted to go to. kinda heartbroken to find it gone. not sure why or when they closed down the nyc location but it must’ve been quite recent and quite abrupt!

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

They used to come to ltrain vintage or they would send their people to Ltrain for cheap grails they could price up in their store, glad they folded. stores like them are what messed up the thrift game

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

No more cheap grails in NYC, you have to travel out of NY to get the heat now, if you dont have a plug to the raghouses you aint finding grails anymore and if you do see a piece in a boutique they will price it higher then it is actually worth. I repeat NYC sucks for thrifting vintage clothing. Nothing but over priced curated boutiques. They are paying pennies on the dollar for grails at raghouses. I spent 2000 in a raghouse but walked out with atleast 20000 in high end grails.

[@timwang7280]

this inspired me to go vintage shopping

[@vincentlerone5600]

Pointer brand now is lc king. Perfect quality.

[@royceramirez3962]

yooo i went vintage shopping today at the thrift and i copped a 1970s burberry blazer, along with a vintage disney varsity jacket

used to live in nyc. Great video, made me remember the good old days

[@stafwittebolle]

As a taller individual myself as well, I feel you 😂 the sizing struggle is real

[@mhilestecson]

The pointer chore coat is probably 80’s/90’s ✌️

[@michaeltheewolf]

Shape of the hat is definitely a good look!

[@sumaaminahshaheed4255]

It's a damn shame that many vintage stores in New York cop alot of their stuff from folks in the community for a mere fraction of what they sell it for in their stores......

Its so funny because I was just in NY for SB so excited to go vintage shopping. As I am taller guy simmilar to drew I didn't find much

[@memelord3348]

Tnx for differentiating vintage shopping at curated stores from thrifting at actual thrift shops. Yup, I’m pretentious about it, I admit it

[@ThemBEanss]

NYC has trash thrifting and vintage shopping. LA is so much better. So rare to thrift a decent piece here.

Great pickup. Love the jacket.

Kid from Brooklyn here. I literally have a curated list of vintage shops & thrifts, off the beaten path, at varying pice points saved in google maps. If I trust your taste, I can give you editing privileges so we can get a national catalogue going.

[@wentaogao3593]

Hi J! I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm planning my first visit to Brooklyn and was hoping you might be able to recommend some great places to check out. I have a day there and was considering visiting the Brooklyn Museum in the morning and Williamsburg (to the thrift store like Beacon's Closet etc.) in the afternoon. What do you think of this plan? Thank you so much for your help!

[@jprov]

@@wentaogao3593 Hello, I hope i'm not too late. I would recommend Chelsea Flea, Urban Jungle, Friends NYC and beacons closet (Green Point and 13th st). Let me know if you find anything

When’s the raw denim gonna drop 👀

[@alphaperez]

Almost positive that Batman shirt is the logo from the 1989 Batman movie starring Michael Keaton as Batman. That movie was grossly over-commercialized and to gen x-ers like myself the logo represented everything wrong with our culture at the time...they printed the logo *everywhere* as a blatant money grab, the movie was more about fast food tie-ins instead of being a quality movie, the movie itself was an advertisement designed to sell garbage products...if you wore that Batman logo in 1989 it meant you were a brainless NPC, it meant you were allowing corporations to lie to you, it meant you were selling out, which was the worst thing possible to say to someone in the gen-x age. A logo like that would have been worn by the uneducated, brainless masses, never by a stylish younger educated thoughtful individual like yourself. A lot can change in 30 years! Love you, & love your channel just trying to provide a little historical perspective.
