Ed’s Threads

We were lucky enough to come across Ed’s Threads while visiting Sacramento. The shop offers a collection of quality mens vintage suits, suit coats, trench coats, shirts, shoes and hats from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I’d been looking for a green vintage suit and found almost exactly what I was looking for. I bought a beautiful green 60’s suit coat, 60’s shirt and a pair of trousers that look like I stepped out of the period. The owner, Ed knows his merchandise well. He was able to find a 60’s tie that matched perfect. The store and the owner are a rare find. I would highly recommend Ed’s Threads if you’re looking for something unique. I will definitely be back!

Best place to go when shopping for the boyfriend/​husband who has everything! Vintage cuff links, ties, & hats.

I was just browsing through mid town curious to see what was around. This place caught my eye. The owner of the store didn’t bother to greet me or acknowledge me. He just sat there reading his newspaper. I tried to spark conversation with him asking him a couple of questions, but he didn’t seen to have an interest in conversation so i left the store. his collection consists of wool suits and shirts from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I wouldn’t bother coming back to the store, if your going to be selective as to who your customers are, why even leave the doors open?

My 41-​yr. old son and I both shop at Ed’s for the fabulous clothes and the wonderful owner. It’s like going back in time with the wonderful music and vintage clothes. Nothing but class and style in the clothes, music and, of course, Ed.

This store has a wide selection of cool men’s vintage hats. And only a few good shoes. The rest is pretty much overpriced junk you can find at the goodwill. SERIOUSLY. There’s a Patrick Patterson blazer for $ 50, and the same style and condition at the goodwill on L Street. I like quality stuff, and appreciate true vintage, which the stores music, and décor boasts, but that’s it. Oh and Ed is a jerk, treated me very rude. One thing I like about the good ol days was the class people had and their etiquette. Ed has the manners of a 21^st Century bum selling his junk for a crazy price.

Read so much about this place and this guy … Met him and browsed today … Awesome and I will be back

This is an amazing shop. Honestly. I just bought a shirt, jacket, and a hat and I am totally excited to wear it tonight. And Ed is an amazing guy! Super helpful. Great taste. Honest as hell.
He cut me a good deal and gave me FREE cufflinks. I will find reasons to go back and buy from Ed.
Here’s the deal. Ed is a straight shooter. I told him what I was looking for and he said it was going to be difficult because people were «smaller back then.» He wasn’t talking about height. He was talking about the baby I call my beer gut. He found what I wanted and it exceeded my expectations.
Anyway, if you want someone to blow sunshine up your ass just to make a sale then you should go to the mall. If you want classy guy who will tell you the way it is then go see Ed. You won’t regret it. You will look great.
I’m out! Need to jog.

I’m brand new to the area, but it didn’t take long at all for me to realize that Ed’s Threads is a true gem. I shop here regularly, at least once, sometimes twice per month and always walk out truly satisfied with the latest awesome additions to my wardrobe. I’ve bought vintage shoes, cardigans, shirts, a pair of herringbone slacks from the ‘40s, a sharp wool suit, ties, etc… Ed has merchandise that is truly my style but has such a great diverse selection, I’m certain he’s got something for everyone. His prices are more than fair and his merchandise is high quality. I can’t say enough good things about his store. I’m truly impressed.
As for Ed: A class act all the way, a cool cat, and a true gentlemen. Ed knows his fashion and style and so much more, you’ll undoubtedly find him behind the counter listening to some great classic Jazz record, chilling and just playing it cool. He’s one of the nicest people I’ve met up here; he remembered me and recalled my name after only my first visit and now I look forward to my monthly visit which includes at least an hour long conversation with him, about anything and everything.
Go check out Ed’s if you’re in the market for anything vintage.

Are you kidding me? Anything less than 5 stars is an insult. Ed’s Threads — and that would be Ed – is the King of Cool! Seriously folks. Whether you’re a ‘60s cat or 21^st Century slacker, Ed’s Threads is worth some exploration. I have a cherished glittering raw silk shirt-​jac that called my name from the end of a rack. It was showroom new. The black and white vintage bowling shirt — previous owner, Bubbles — that I left behind. Learned my lesson the hard way.
It’s classic Frank and Dean and the tunes are often there to remind you. Shirts, shoes, jackets, hats, sweaters, and all kinds of kitschy memorabilia. And part of Midtown when Midtown was really sketchy. But Ed was way cool way back when. He still is.
Mostly for men, but women with artistic style will not be sorry they stopped by.

Ed’s is the best kind of old school. It’s a tiny, hole-​in-​the-​wall shop with perhaps the best selection of outdated mens fashions. Ed has truly cornered the Sacramento market on menswear of yesteryear.
I instantly fell in love with a hideously awesome, mint condition, sherbet green leisure suit he had in his «Disco» section. After trying it on and finding it fit perfect, I asked him how much. The price was very steep at $ 150, but I could tell it was one of his most prized possessions and I don’t blame him for not wanting to sell it off. You see, Ed really takes pride in what he finds, collects and sells. You have to admire his attachment to the merchandise.
I settled on renting the outfit and used it at a party to full effect. Thank you Ed. I’ll be coming back soon!

I would have to agree this place is the best place for good quality vintage Men’s clothing. I saw some cool stuff in here. I am actually going back to purchase a few items I tried on. All of the suits are good quality and in excellent condition. A+ store and I will put the Paul J official stamp of approval on it. I am glad I found this store!

Ed’s Threads is undoubtedly the best vintage clothing store for men in the Sacramento area! They have a great selection of top quality items. The place has a mellow retro vibe that provides a nice ambiance as you shop. Ed is a cool cat who allows you the freedom to explore, but is ready to assist when you need him. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to others!

Hands down, the best mens vintage clothing shop in Sacramento.
EPIC selection of hats, shoes, pants, shirts & suits. Just picked up a ridiculously sporty 60s-​style suit for an upcoming wedding. Cant wait for the wedding now on account of the suit being so badass.
Ed’s always there to help & not overly pushy or annoying. He’s a classy dude who’s fun to talk to. Plus, he’s always got some great music spinning through an old sound system while you shop. AND no sales tax. I finally found a great vintage shop in Sacramento & can’t wait to go back.

I dig Ed’s Threads. He’s got all the old school stuff. The California Collection was pretty cool. It’s so 70’s. He’s got vintage sweaters and shirts that would make anybody look hip and retro. Hats, Shoes, Suits, and more. A fun place to browse and buy. Ed will also pay the sales tax.
If you like the old-​school look… Ed’s got the threads.

My husband and I frequented Ed’s when he was looking for a suit for our wedding. While he never came across something in his size and desired color, Ed was always helpful and charming. Prices seem very reasonable for vintage suits.
