New York Vintage Shopping Guide

On the hunt for vintage gems in NY

For our latest hunt for vintage Woolrich gear, our journey took us to New York. A city filled with dreams, hidden treasures, and a diversity of culture and personalities. Check out where we headed to, our style experts, which trademark items have stood the test of time (...and what food you can't miss!)

New York is a rolodex of shops, underground favorites, and places waiting to be discovered. This round we headed to Procell, Leisure Center, and our very own Woolrich store to catch up with Spencer Phipps and get the lowdown on the awaited collaboration for FW22.

THE EXPERT

To help us navigate the world of downtown vintage we tapped fashion editorial director Jian DeLeon and N.Y. based artist Danie Sierra who took us for a spin around some shops.

Let's get digging

FIRST SHOP

PROCELL

Brian Procell and his namesake shop have been hugely influential in defining the modern landscape of downtown NYC vintage. He credits the city and its diverse spectrum as a creative reference.

SECOOND SHOP

LEISURE CENTER

This Lower East Side gem is newer on the scene. They specialize in clothing from the late 20th century and always make sure to keep the selection up to par. Frank Carson, who runs the store and sources the majority of the clothes, makes sure to keep the merchandise as relevant and fresh as possible.
