Old Vogue

Definitely a great place to find nice vintage clothing that is actually at a good price and can be worn in modern time.

If vintage is your thing,
then this is your joint.
Denim, shirts, hats, jackets, coats, & my personal favorite…
cashmere sweaters.
I’m convinced that this is the nicest, the cleanest, & the most organized vintage shop in the city.
I recently saw a Men’s Burberry trench in the window. It was in great condition. Unfortunately, it was too big for my man, but it goes to show the great pieces that can be found.
And the owner, Maria, is both a doll & a gem. She doesn’t age, either. She looks the same as she did 20 years ago. The vintage air maybe?
A must stop if you’re on the hunt for something vintage, classic, & fabulous.
5 stars.

What a lovely collection of vintage pieces. Maria has curated an amazing group of artifacts ranging from lamps to books to clothing. We had an amazing conversation about vintage and restaurants. A gem!

A little on the expensive side for vintage, mostly from the ‘50s and ‘60s, but I found a great pair of vintage Levis 501 for $ 25 upstairs. Definitely worth the trip!

I’m a big big fan of thrift stores, recycled clothing whatever you want to call it and Old Vogue has quickly grown into one of my favorite places to shop for vintage clothing.
Both men and women’s clothing and a wide variety of clothing to meet anyone’s fashion preferences. A lot of times you’ll find some recycled clothing stores that are waaayyy too proud of their stuff and charge more for the clothing than it was probably sold for originally *cough cough wasteland cough*. Old Vogue has great prices and as I already said, an awesome selection.

I’m all for vintage goods, but they have to be wearable as well if I’m going to even consider adding them to my wardrobe.
Old Vogue knows where I’m coming from. Unlike so many other vintage shops out there, most of the stuff here grabs my eye right away. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s off the beaten path, but the quality-​to-​dud ratio is surprisingly good here! It’s like finding a pure, unpretentious treasure trove only you know about.
Everybody else is probably squirreled away in Urban Outfitters. Let the hipsters have what they want.

Great selection of men’s coats and suits. Excellent prices and friendly staff. Way less expensive and better quality than what I’ve found on haight st. Go check it out!

Listen up! This store shines when it comes to men’s vintage. The array of Western shirts is impressive, so if that’s your thing, you’ll totally be in luck here. Not to mention the hats, oh, the hats. Jackets galore. Some suits. Sweaters (always a need for these in San Fran) An entire upstairs full of jeans, boots and shoes. And it’s all for the boys (80 percent of the merchandise, I’d estimate).
Era: mid century (mainly).
Condition: pristine to very good.
Price: higher end, but worth it.
Now, I didn’t find anything for me in here either time I stopped in (though I did admire a bunch of vintage Chinese pjs), but you know what? Sometimes it’s not just about the girls. Who doesn’t want a sharp-​dressed man on their arm? No excuses. Get to steppin’ fellas.

Old Vogue is a good all around, of the beaten path, vintage shop that carries mostly menswear, which if you know about vintage shops, you know is pretty rare. While their selection is not on par with La Rosa Vintage Boutique, it is still really darn good, and certainly better than the menswear selection at just about every other vintage shop in the area.
The shop has a very mellow environment. Other than casual «hello» when you walk in, whoever is working usually leaves you on your own to browse, which I really like (but hey, what guys DOES like being pounced on by sales staff, right?). But if you do have questions, they are super helpful too.
There prices are not thrift store cheap, but then, Old Vogue is not a thrift store, by and large, I find there prices to be on par with other SF vintage — or maybe even slightly less. store Everything looks to have been cleaned, mended, and pressed before making it to the racks. They do sell a proportion of 70s and 80s pseudo-​vintage, but they also always have a really good selection of 40s, 50s, and 60s vintage too.

Thank heavens for vintage hats! While certainly not all are small, it is much easier to fit my tiny noggin with hats from an era when a man under 5“8″ could be stylish and drink at work in front of his boss:) Seriously though, great selection of hats, jackets, etc. Helpful and informative owner as well.

I am convinced that every male in the 1940’s-1970’s was short. I have the hardest time finding used and vintage clothing. Most of my clothes are getting very worn in/​out, being that they are second hand fashion and pretty «old». I try to piece together my suits and outfits though, and usually I’m vaguely successful. So, I found this quaint little store while wandering around North Beach (I couldn’t actually find any beaches…) It is nestled next to a record/​music store– I heard the soft spoken sounds of Van Halen’s «Panama» blasting from somewhere and I had to find out where it was. Turns out it was David Lee Roth telling me this was gonna be an epic shopping experience. He never lies. (

This cute little place is owned by a cute husband/​wife combo who have owned it for 25 years. That is cool. He is the picky buyer/​shopper who goes out and gets the great items, while she stays there and remains honest with the guests and simply ROCKS your face off. She’ll tell it like it is. She told me I’d have a hard time finding my size vest or jacket. I came away with a new pair of pants and a new/​vintage Brooks Bros vest. Rico y Suave! I almost went the other route and was tempted to buy a Pendleton flannel jacket and Levi’s farmers’ jeans, but I remembered my whole idea was to buy clothes for work. Next time I feel that rugged and outdoorsy, I’ll stop by here first and then go get my axe sharpened and cut down some trees in the presidio.
Note: It isn’t a thrift store. It is mostly slightly used, gently worn, new, near mint, good condition clothing. Mostly Menswear, all organized by style, size, and color. Everything is cleaned and pressed. They don’t have a lot of tall sizes (44L, 17/​35, XL) but they do have lots of cool things to get. Great Find! She was gracious enough to hold my purchase til 7pm so I could go out for drinks (cuz I was walkin’ ya big dummy!) totally five stars.

Great selection of vintage men’s clothing! Unfortunately I didn’t find anything that I needed during my visit but if I lived in the area I would be back on a regular basis.
As others have stated, the prices are higher than you’d find at Goodwill or other thrift shops, but this is because this is really more of a thrift boutique and the people who run the place have already separated the wheat from the chaff.
I also noticed that they have a small, but nice selection of new hats including fedoras and ivy caps.
Great stuff, great place and well worth the visit.

This store, hands down, has the best selection of vintage clothing I’ve ever seen! Their collection of Hawaiian shirts is amazing. They have a great selection of mostly vintage shirts (bowling, western, Pendletons, etc.) and jackets (leather, smoking, etc.). (They have other stuff too: hats, coats, woman’s clothing.) if you looking for quality vintage clothing, this is the place. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

What a find! We were just walking around and almost pass up on it. It looked to be a men’s store and my hubby was on the fence but I thought we should check it out… so glad we did!
After asking my husband to go upstairs to see if there were any ladies stuff, I walked around and was very happy to see there were some ladies stuff in the back. Mostly sweaters and coats but good selection and very reasonable price. As others have pointed out, the condition of the clothing are very good. The cashmere sweaters I saw were all in great condition and at very reasonable price — I would say this is better than other «vintage» or consignment stores from a price and condition basis.
I decided (not an easy decision) to pass on a few cashmere sweaters including a Barney at $ 80! However, I came across this beautiful peacoat that I just got to have…
We headed out before I can do more damage… more importantly, we are supposed to «PURGE» our closet and not adding to it :(

The best place in SF to buy gently worn cashmere sweaters at great prices. An indispensible part of my shopping routine.

Great little vintage store for men. But ladies! It is worth a trip through here if you’re looking for a great vintage hat… Old Vogue has a wide range of affordable fedoras, trilbys etc. Fun stuff!

Wonderful selection of men’s sport coats. My husband found a bespoke sport coat here of just absolutely beautiful quality (it’s bespoke, so duh) for $ 75. He found another gorgeous tweed sport coat for about the same. Absolutely beautiful stuff.
And as the proprietor pointed out «You’re lucky. Most men can’t fit into those vintage bespoke items because they work out too much.»
HA! She said my husband’s puny. Well, I prefer to call him «reedy» or «wiry.» At any rate, he’s not built like an upside down triangle, which is just weird looking anyway. And he does find great deals with his «vintage body type.» But the comment still cracks me up.
If you, too, are puny, go here, where being puny is a celebrated advantage. You’ll find gorgeous old-​school clothes.

I popped in here today because I saw some fly track jackets staring at me from the street and I had to go in and explore further. I love me a good adidas track jacket. So within 5 minutes I had picked out a navy and red vintage one made in france and I was fishing in my purse for my debit card. What’s 45 dollars? Maybe I won’t eat for the next couple days… yea RIGHT

Best vintage coat collection I have ever seen. Why spend $ 500 on a new cashmere coat, when you can spend $ 100 here on a mint condition one? Still, as with any vintage place, the collection is always changing, so to score the best piece come often and call ahead (store hours don’t mean jack shit to these workers).

Old Vogue is truly a cut above. This is not your run of the mill Haight Ashbury-​type store. My favorite thing about them, aside from the selection and the fact that the two women who work there have a vast knowledge of vintage clothing, is that everything is in pristine condition. Plenty of vintage jeans, western shirts, minty Pendeltons, bowling shirts, leather jackets, Adidas, and a large section for ladies. My girlfriend has a couple beaded cashmere sweaters from here that are totally kickass. Definately worth the trip. Personally, I always like to duck into 101 Music next door and grab some vinyl as well.
