I read two great GQ articles last week listing 1) 30 of the best vintage stores in America and 2) prominent archivists giving advice for new collectors. This list pulls from the sellers and stores mentioned in these articles, together representing a vast breadth of old clothing.

MY CLOTHING ARCHIVE

Etienne of My Clothing Archive was an incredibly generous resource to me for my thesis last year. Now in New York, I’ve had the pleasure of buying original Yohji Yamamoto postcards from his extensive archive and more consistently reading his work. Etienne is a fantastic archivist of Issey Miyake, Yamamoto, and Comme Des Garcons esoterica. His Patreon is a great resource for fashion nerds, as are his clothing identification softwares for dating said designers.

  • Comme Des Garçons Shirt SS18 Lewis Leathers High-Top Leather Sneakers
