You'd be right at home @ Search and Destroy in St. Marks. They got all the thrift flannels/leather jackets/combat boots/mil surplus gear you'll ever want.

^ some of the shit at search and destroy is wooooooooooooooooooooooow overpriced...i know that's the name of the game with an established vintage store pushing a certain image, but fuckkkkkkkkkkkk you can just beat up and acid wash a levis jacket yourself and put some studs on it...wowowoowoww. this doesnt mean i wouldnt buy something from there...jusssssssss sayin. feel me?

No I hear that for sure man. I would not pay $100 for a leather jacket someone else beat up... Don't even think they have my size though, haha

A good store with decent vintage stock and nearly everything under $30 (w/ some more unique stuff at higher prices) is Eleven in Williamsburg. I may be wrong on the name but it is at the end of N.6th, just before the BQE, if you are coming from Bedford.

Stock doesn't rotate that often though, and be wary of the occasional stain, hole, etc.

Stuff I've seen there includes: Lacoste rain jackets, Patagonia outerwear, Dior and Pierre Cardin button ups, flannels, levi and lee jeans, quirky t-shirts, boots of all kinds, military gear, and varsity sportswear with some seasonal things having a slight touch on the pulse of modern trends.

Of the above strictly applies to menswear, which of course, is absolutely shitted on by the amazing women's selection. Look out for a small children's section too.
