Vintage suits in Austin, TX?

[kbadr]

Does anyone know of good places to find vintage suits in Austin, TX?
I've got a few stores I try once in a while (Big Bertha's, Amelias), but I rarely find anything.

Alternatively, does anyone have any recommendations for online shops to buy vintage (or vintage-style) suits and shirts? And when buying online, I assume I should get my full measurements at a tailor first, yes?

Good luck...I can never find anything good anymore. I think it's all scooped up and put on ebay.

As far as antiques, Texas was really odd. Antique shops everywhere. It is my understanding that a lot of underemployed people supplement their income this way. Perhaps thesame thing happens with vintage suits, and now with e-bay..

In a place whre it is not very popular, as in most cities, dealers don't bother selling to shops or putting the stuff out, they just e-bay it.


On the plus side, you probby don't have much competion at the thrifts and estate sales, and e-bay will give you accss to the world wide shopping mall.
