The one for men's vintage suits
The vintage clothes at Blackout scream ‘Fabulous!’ A tiny vintage shop in Covent Garden on two levels, with rails packed full of proper authentic vintage from the 1920’s – 1980’s – a truly inspirational collection. A great selection of menswear, the most handsom suits in great cuts and shades – light sandy golds, grey with pale blue flecks, camels, beige's, lots of vintage YSL suits for £95. Chic men’s smoking jackets, coats and shoes. Hundreds of ladies dresses, suits, hats, bags, gloves, costume jewelry, shoes, kimonos, swimsuits. The staff at Blackout do not allow photography in the shop, which is a real shame, as it's nice to show you the kind of pieces that they sell. Instead I will describe...On one visit I spotted an outrageous pink marabou feather coat for £95, a long Vegas showgirl fringed dress for £95, a unisex reversible 1950’s mac, beige on the outside with an incredible abstract tropical print in deep purples and bronze on the inside, for £65, a blood orange crushed velvet bag that conjured up images of Moroccan sunsets & opium dens, and the perfect pair of 1970’s leopard print safari pants.
