The one for men's vintage coats

Selling menswear only, The Vintage Showroom has a real boys club feel to it.  The shop used to be home to a hardware store - FW Collins & Sons Ironmongers (since 1835), the guy's have done well to retain that workshop look, and the setting sits perfectly with the style of clothes.  Selling vintage from 1940's up to 1970's, focusing mainly on 1950's, this is not a shop for vintage bling, but one for classic men's fashion. Stocking chunky knits, shirts, smoking jackets, hats, the coat selection really stands out - 1950's hunting jackets, vintage Barbour jackets, amazing parka's (some with real fur lined hoods), 1950's worn leather jackets, suede bombers, khaki army coats.  A mid to high price range, but quality vintage pieces that will always be cool.
