Sean Crowley of Crowley Vintage is a total vintage menswear nerd, and has an incredible collection of rare, quality vintage pieces. There's a Ralph Lauren / Ivy Style focus. Movie stylists go to him to pick up vintage pieces. He's a big deal.
He's also a bit of a dick. you should call ahead to plan your appointment with him, you should put everything back exactly as you found it, and if you don't buy anything, he's going to think you're a dick, because, again, he's a dick. You'll pay more than full price for some pieces.
I'd sooner recommend Alfargo's Marketplace. The people are nicer, the prices are dramatically better, the clothes are still fantastic, and the people appreciate vintage clothing from a modern perspective. Crowley actually shops there sometimes, that's a whole long story.

This place rules. I got my favorite shirt there (blue striped Armani Jeans button up i’m wearing in the pic above) I tell anyone who needs something formal but with some spirit/attitude, go browse the racks at Ebreo. Perfect for well priced suits with a cool selection of shirting, outerwear and shoes too. It’s in Williamsburg on Grand St. sandwiched between Dolls Kill and Supreme (lol) and it is run by Julian Colucci. He is one of the most natural and gifted hosts and shopkeepers I know and he is also a licensed and practicing therapist. He specializes in Italian menswear and sources from all over the place. The last couple times I ran into him there, he was coming back from Florida or Italy.
I think he’s also got an espresso machine rocking in the back.
So much more I could say about this place, but just go over there if you’re in New York!

It's mostly men's stuff, but they're starting to bring in some women's sellers now and then, and they are tapped into all the other vintage shows too, so you'll get an idea of the scene that way. I know they work with the funnyprettynice people sometimes...

probably not the best, I don’t shop vintage alot, but I like it there. My favorite Levi’s shorts are from there.
Edit: oh also David Owen’s Vintage Clothing, I met the old dude himself last weekend.

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
