Vintage Treasures Abound Online

Finding the perfect vintage western shirts to go with your favorite jeans for the season can sometimes take a while. But the season won't wait for you! That's why it's important to cultivate your eye, hit the streets, and take to the internet to peruse available collections all throughout the evolution of your style -- which means forever so, with consistency, just do it as you go.

Your consistency will ensure that when it comes to tracking down a gift from among a two-tiered rack of vintage motorcycle jackets -- for that nice chap driving you to school in a moto -- you'll know which one to choose, size and all. It will also ensure your having a real and measureable competitive advantage when push comes to shove at the clothes bins. Quantification of your growing success will be possible in vintage leather, vinyl, and pleather belts that bespeak your ever-increasing know-how. So, too, will the eclecticism of your chiffon, satin, velveteen-trimmed, and feather and brocade blouses.

And, as the style-competent fellas out there will tell you, the outward stuffiness of a father's closet can sometimes belie the finer and more sensitive choices the old man once made when it came to fashion. Suit jackets, promising-with-alteration trousers, and handsome white button-downs of striking merit can all be found there. The biggest "biggie," so to speak, is the size difference -- not everyone grows up to be like Pops (most luckily). The point is, you don't need to get all your mens vintage pants from your dad's room. There are great websites you can go to that have all the styles and sizes organized for you.

This makes it much easier to find a small -- or extra large -- M65 field jacket. And who knows, you might even find one demonstrating the results of some brave soul's tie-dye experimentation with army gear. Totally one-of-a-kind!

In a completely different arena, if you're working on a school project and need vintage pieces, quickly and inexpensively, to dress your actors for a semester's end short, then it's best to start browsing and selecting as you write down the script. You'll need time for shipping and fittings. Whatever your fashion needs, today, vintage stores cater to better informed consumers and the increasing excellence of their selections shows as much. Vintage is no longer just hand-me-downs.
