Hi everyone,
I've just opened a vintage store and wanted you guys to check it out and maybe get your thoughts on it.
The main idea behind the store is that I don't sell any mass produced junk and there is a reason behind everything I pick.
Please let me know what you think, I'm looking for ways to improve etc..

Thanks in advance,
George
Before posting commercial enterprises on a forum, take time and effort to show interest in the topics being posted and make several comments over at least a few weeks, if not months or years. By doing that, you will gain our trust and respect.
At present, there is no difference between you and the other spammers who post on here.
So, as far as your marketing and sales pitch has shown, its more second rate at the moment.
Sorry, to be so blunt.

Waste of time. A lot of marketing, and a few garments that represent little more than what the average person could find in a day's charity shopping. If you can make it work then good luck to you, but personally it was a waste of a minute or 2 of my time.

And he's not a man with two minutes to waste!
He is right though, some of those garments have had one or two stories to tell......about homeless 1970s tramps!
In saying that, I've revisted the site and the workwear selection deserves its own thread, if not anthropological dissertation on the similarities of the ragged trousers and jackets as worn by foreman navvies in Merthyr Tydfil and those of the socialist revolutionaries on the battleship Potemkin.
TBF, its a right load of shite. Is it whole sale or do you deal with the public?
Aside from a blatant attempt at a marketing pitch on this forum, I didn't think the website was too bad really, but there's not much on there to appeal to anyone here. I liked the shawl collar sheepskin jacket though, it looks okay in the pictures.
This is an excellent book about navvies http://www.amazon.com/An-Irish-Navvy-Diary-Exile/dp/1903464366
I must get my copy back off my sister.
^ No, not at all.
