When you’re ready to leave the ranks of the merely hard-core vintage hounds and join those of the professional vintage fiends (editors, stylists, and film costumers), this 7,000-square-foot, by-appointment-only showroom stocked with over 100,000 pieces awaits. The enormous collection is meticulously organized by theme, such as Military, Collegiate, and Victorian, and since the showroom (unlike the West Broadway store) does not change stock by season, finding a fur in July is hardly a problem. Comb through the racks for a vintage rock concert tee or Azzedine Alaia gown. Note: Anyone can shop here, but appointments are limited, so make sure you’ve got a flexible schedule before calling.

The showroom is in Tribeca; the retail space is in Soho.
