There's a whole world of work that goes into the vintage business beyond what you see in the road trip pictures. Here's a view into more of the process and what it's like dealing vintage as a real job.
Great video Dinerman - very illuminating. And very inspirational! Makes me want to try road tripping around the UK charity shops. Not sure if it'll be the same though!
Hey I do just fine in the charity shops! And junk and 'antique' shops. As for overcoats, just wait til you see the awesome 1920s single breasted, peak lapel, fly front number I've just scored!A road trip of British charity shops???? You would have to be a glutton for punishment ... hour upon hour of searching through 1990s M&S ties just to find one 1950s Trevira tie. For every 100 shops you vivsit you might find one complete suit from before the 1960s ... if you are lucky. The best you would score would be a few overpriced vintage overcoats that you would struggle to sell.
Unless of course you have those magic fingers that some people are blessed with?? Old time Fedora Lounger Baron Kurtz just told me about his latest charity shop Tootal haul. That bloke is truly a magician!
