Yes, in a few weeks Ill be visiting the warehouse full of vintage clothes. How did this happen you ask?

Well, I'm going on holiday soon and found some items from a seller online that I liked. He stocks everything from 30s work-wear to 50s gems. I noticed he was based in the same location as where I'm visiting and asked him to hold some things for me in my size if he came across them (50s stuff). This was back in March.

A week ago he posted some more amazing goods and I reminded him I would be visiting and to hold any good stuff he found in my size.

Instead of just holding those for me, he invited me and my wife out to his warehouse to have a browse. I have no idea how much he has, but if its in a warehouse, its got to be a lot!

I don't even bother checking ebay lately because I'll basically be in a vintage department store in a couple weeks! Ill post pictures when I get back in June.

djgo,

What I may do is see if he wants me to sell for him abroad in London so that we can get some more good vintage on this side of Europe.

Speaking of, I found this site a while ago, but all of their ricky jackets are too big for me, but they may be your size! I have no clue how I found them, one of those super late night googling sessions :eusa_doh:

And you can barter on their price, about 15% when I rang them.

Lucky. Reminds me of once i was driving around Norway with a friend looking for closed down shops were we could buy the entire stock. We found a mens clothing store that had been closed for over 60 years. The place was filled with cardboard boxes full of every kind of item you could ever wish for. Those $2k i had were gone rather quickly. You are up for a real treat going to that warehouse.
