Thrift 101: Clothing- How To Tell If Its Old!

Thrifting Can be Hard Work!

It Can be Dirty, Unorganized and Lets Face it, Sometimes Theres Just Junk!

But for Die Hard Thrifters We Enjoy The Thrill That Comes When You Recover Something Truly Epic From Piles of Trash!

It can be hard sometimes to tell if what you find is truly vintage

with "VINTAGE" being so popular now and many companies are recreating vintage inspired products

This makes my job a bit harder but I have so helpful tips on finding TRUE VINTAGE!

Tip #1

Look For "UNION" Labels

Union Made Clothing Is a Good Sign You Have Something Vintage

These Labels are Usually sewn in with the tag or are sewn into the side seam of the garment along with the care label

Union Made Clothing Is Still Made but It Is not normally fashion apparel, its mostly work or sport apparel

Tip #2

Metal Zippers!

Finding a garment that has a metal zipper is a clue 

Metal zipper were used up and into the 1980's, but mostly with homemade garments not manufactured garments

So this is not a dating clue but at least you know it is not a vintage inspired pice

Metal zippers can still be purchased but most manufactures use the plastic zippers due to them being cheaper and the popularity of invisible zippers that can only be made by nylon.

I hope this helps!

Have Fun Thrifting!

But for Die Hard Thrifters We Enjoy The Thrill That Comes When You Recover Something Truly Epic From Piles of Trash!

Some Times Stains Can Ruin A Great Find

It Happens Time And Time Again

Sometimes It Can Be Worth The Gamble To Just Buy The Item And Try To Treat The Stain Yourself, If The Price Is Right I Always Say "Go For It!"

Heres Some Helpful Tips For You Dessision Making

Tip 1

Always Carry A Detergent Pen

This Can Be Used To Test That Stain Before You Buy 

But Never Use A Detergent Pen On Anything Silk Or On A Satin Fabric

It Will Only Leave Water Marks That Will Never Come Out

Detergent Pens Are Best On Natural Fiber Fabrics Such As Cotton

Tip 2 

Look For Dry Cleaning Tags In Or On The Garment

This Can Help When Gauging A Stain

If You Find A Dry Cleaning Tag, Chances Are That Stain Will Not Come Out!

Someone Has Already Tried To Treat The Stain With Little Luck

These Tags Are Often Still Left On The Garment Due To The Fact That Rarely Do People Ware Things If The Stain Could Not Be Removed, And They Then Tend To Just Get Rid Of The Garment

These Tags Are Sometimes Stapled To the Garment And Usually Are Paper With Numbers Printed On It
