After a half-decade sabbatical from fashion, I'm cautiously resurfacing & I felt it was time to reconnect. I moved to Europe a few years ago & began collecting vintage with the field discipline of an anthropologist & the denial of a high-functioning hoarder. I currently have over 100,000 pieces sitting in a warehouse, because moderation has never been my strong suit. What began as compulsion is now a side project. I'm firmly in the pre-revenue chapter of the memoir-500 sales, & high morale. The broader archive skews larger, stranger, & more historically pointed-East & West German rarities, bureaucratic glamour, Soviet institutional wear, industrial archaeology-rich in Trevira, Diolen, Terylene & mid-century state textile programs, & an elegy in garments from the DACH region & beyond. The collection is mostly a Cold War capsule wardrobe, institutional tailoring, state-issued, regional cooperatives & rural ateliers, white labels from the department store era, exceptional knitwear, socialist leathers, the zenith of Parisian fur craft, selectively preserved tweed skirts, rare 1960s mod, exaggerated '70s collars, German-cut blouses, unusually constructed denim, essentially the entirety of the 1970s, when even institutional garments had the decency to be well made. If integrity were woven, you'd find more of it in a 1978 poly-wool blend than in most of today's designer runways. Eventually, this evolves into a full-scale operation-complete with the token NYC storefront for aesthetic credibility. Given that about 70% of you are ordering from New York, it seems reasonable to ship our 50 pallets there & open a labyrinth of "true vintage" to get lost in. Scaling, of course, requires capital. I'm well aware that most of you don't have any, but statistically speaking, out of the millions who drift through here, it is statistically probable that one of you possesses both interest & solvency. Type us into Google. Everything is there, including a contact form. What's on offer now-early equity at a materially discounted valuation-is both sincere and short-lived.

A utility-driven insulated jacket with a structural, protective form, this piece aligns with performance wear brands that balance technological function with fashion-forward aesthetics. Canada Goose Ovo and Moncler Grenoble embody this approach with cold-weather engineering and a luxury-minded audience. The jacket’s oversized structure and high funnel collar, punctuated with drawcord and buckle closures, reflect the modular ethos of Marfa Stance and the architectural, urban-ready designs of Nilmance, both of which emphasize adaptability and ergonomic tailoring. The insulation-heavy aesthetic ties to Ienki Ienki, which elevates volume with directional silhouettes, and Nicole Benisti, whose sculptural yet wearable outerwear often carries elements of cinching, high collars, and statement fastenings. With a reinforced waist belt and storm-proof detailing, the piece references Shoreditch Ski Club and Cordova, two brands that embrace technical gear repurposed for urban life. Cordova’s sleek take on alpine silhouettes informs the controlled yet voluminous cut here, while Moorer’s Italian precision tailoring emphasizes the idea of functional insulation married to sartorial detailing. Moose Knuckles’ sport-luxury aesthetic aligns with the robust construction, making use of water-resistant fabrics and engineered quilting similar to this piece’s materiality. Daiwa Pier39 and Stone Island Shadow Project reinforce the fusion of utility and street sensibilities, merging hyper-functional materials with an uncompromising design edge. The presence of technical drawcords and multi-point fastening systems ties this piece to Arc’teryx Veilance and Goldbergh, brands that approach outerwear as an engineering project, crafting lightweight yet heavily reinforced shells. Kosuke Tsumura, known for protection-first garments that evoke urban survival, fits into the language of this jacket, highlighting the idea of technical garment as an armor against the elements. The jacket's striking color choice also leans into the bold statement outerwear of Goldbergh, emphasizing performance with a colorway that signifies visibility, confidence, and high-impact aesthetics. This piece finds a foothold within luxury-performance hybrids, blending engineered insulation, tactical fastening mechanisms, and modular adaptability. It operates as a statement in functional fashion, borrowing heavily from outdoor innovation while maintaining a strong fashion edge, making it equally viable for high-altitude adventure or city-street layering.


One minor clarification seems necessary: on eBay, "Vintage" tends to imply garments that have endured a meaningful span of wear and tear. To eliminate any potential ambiguity, I'm adding an explicit disclaimer that the majority of these items are, in fact, new, unworn deadstock. This contextual cue should help orient users who are accustomed to encountering authentically fatigued clothes.One additional clarification seems necessary, given the ongoing confusion eBay manages to cultivate around U.S. orders from Europe under Trump's tariffs: contrary to the eBay disclaimer, it's the Europeans taking the hit here, not the Americans. So, to answer the recurring question about U.S. import fees: we've already covered the tariffs through our postal carrier. Your parcel arrives fully cleared; any bureaucratic bloodletting has already been performed on our side of the Atlantic.
