Here are the top 10 things to check when buying vintage clothes:
- Condition: Check for any visible signs of wear, tear, or damage such as holes, stains, or fading.
- Fabric: Ensure the fabric is still soft and strong, not brittle or thin.
- Size: Verify that the clothing still fits or can be altered to fit properly.
- Authenticity: Ensure that the clothing is the real deal and not a reproduction or fake.
- Brand and era: Identify the brand and era of the clothing to determine its value and style.
- Cleanliness: Evaluate if the clothing is clean and free of any odors or fragrances.
- Label and care instructions: Check for any missing or damaged labels or care instructions.
- Hardware: Check zippers, buttons, and snaps to see if they are in good working order.
- Shape: Observe the shape of the clothing, checking for any signs of stretching or misshapen areas.
- Price: Compare prices of similar vintage clothing items to determine if the price is fair and reasonable.
