Vintage clothing stores within San Diego

[TommySalieri]

Hey, gang! I am fairly new to the vintage scene (Just look at my avatar) and I need help in finding a decent clothing store nearby. Unfortunately, I do not know where to shop! I have purchased a few new fedoras at 50+ bucks each but I have found that this drains my wallet. Let us not even get into the suits! I am 19 and with a very limited job at the local PD. So, until I secure my job as a police recruit at my agency, where exactly could I get - or even find - what I am looking for? Any suggestions are welcomed.

I live in the South Bay and any information about local stores or reliable and truthworthy online stores is highly desirable.


Thank you

Hi! Down in our area there's not too much in the way of vintage, but in Hillcrest there is

Wear It Again Sam
(619) 299-0185
3823 5th Ave
San Diego, CA 92103

which is absolutely gorgeous but a bit pricey, and there's Flashbacks on the same street which has mostly 60's and 70's but every now and again, there is some 50's and 40's mixed in with the suits. I know my boyfriend picked one up there at one time.

Flashbacks Recycled Fashions
(619) 291-4200
3847 5th Ave
San Diego, CA 92103


Frock You Vintage Clothing
(619) 220-0630
4121 Park Blvd
San Diego, CA 92103

I've never been here, so I don't know if they're still around
Tata Lane
(619) 688-9778
3513 Georgia St
San Diego, CA 92103

And in Encinitas in North County there is:
Mostly 60's and 70's with the occassional gem mixed in
Vintage Sanctuary
(760) 439-4535
625 S Coast Hwy
Oceanside, CA 92054

This one is a personal favorite because the owner is so very nice. She has mostly 50's stuff, though
Dick Jane & Spike
(760) 439-0609
117 S Coast Hwy
Oceanside, CA 92054

So there ya go. Hope this helps.

I too am 19. Lauren Henline and I were in Flashbacks in Hillcrest, where I found a double breasted blue pinstripe dated 1942 for $30. They also had a pretty large selection of great ties. But come to the Queen Mary summit III between November 11th-13th. I'll have vintage: suits, ties and possibly hats, shoes and accessories for sale at good prices.

PM me if you want any more information.

Regards,

Dan
