Man...thats like asking a DJ where he found that dope record.

Or like asking Premo what song he sampled for that crazy 3 second drum loop.

best bet is to hit up the ones near Melrose like Wasteland, Slow, Aardvarks....and go down a couple blocks to Jet Rag on La Brea. most options within walking distance

yeah... i protect the location of my thrifts from even my close friends. when you find a gold mine, you have to let people believe that its full of shit... otherwise you wont get what you need.

I find some good stuff at magnet shops like buffalo exchange (search on google-maps) because they attract alot of people to sell things there. I mean, how're you gonna get good thrift at a place that nobody sells to? Right?

Anyways, there's also a hidden store off of Beverly that I found to have a bunch of actual and repro selvedge 501s. It was one of the only shops I found, across from Blick's art store along Beverly between Fairfax and Brea. Ever shopped around there getsmart?

the san diego store is called FROCK YOU! located in hilcrest. its a local thrift store that specializes in 50's clothing. The girl who owns it travels the country to find rare and hidden gems for the store. They have an INSANE vintage belt buckle collection, i wish i took a pick of them but i did take a pick of the vintage levis belt buckle i bought. It wasnt dated but im thinking its prolly from the 80's. Oh and they also had a dope mens shoe collection, wing tips, boots, everything.

i also bought a vintage button up from the 70's and a vintage flanel from the 70's.

Look for the little Jewish thrift stores, they usually have lots of neat vintage stuff, especially shoes and jackets. I'm not telling you where mine are though, these are valuable secrets!

damn people here are really territorial about theyre vintage shops huh... totally understandable, i know that if i ever found a GOOD thrift store id keep it quiet...that being said, anyone have any good thrift stores in the OC? lol thanks
