Whether you are a collector or just someone who wants a piece of nostalgia, vintage clothes have a great allure. However, finding good American vintage clothing can be a difficult task. This is because there are many fraudulent vendors out there who sell replicas or Retro’s as vintage clothing.Even if you get past the frauds, you may be fooled into mistakenly buying retro clothing. This is because the replica looks as good, or in this case as old, as the original thing. Many manufacturers have jumped on to the vintage clothing bandwagon and have started producing clothing that is treated chemically to have a worn and “original” look. If you are not a seasoned collector, then spotting the difference could be difficult.However, by finding a good and reputed online vendor you can avoid these pitfalls. These vendors can also be a source of rare clothing pieces like 60’s clothing or vintage sport tee shirts. The first thing you must do is to read the disclaimer and the legal terms. Once you have done that, go through the descriptions of each product. Usually the replicas will be clearly marked and the vintage pieces will have detailed descriptions attached to them. Websites like www.vintagetrends.com have an extensive pictorial catalogue that lets you see the actual product.If you have any doubts about a vendor, just visit a few forums and see what the members there have to say about them. If the outcome is good, then start off with a small purchase and if you like it go back for more!
