This dress is made by Leg Avenue and is constructed of an 80/20 nylon and spandex mix.  This would actually work well as a 60s or 70s retro costume.  It is available in a variety of sizes.... More >>

There are tons of offerings featuring colored suede and fur, either at the collar or trimming the entire coat.  Of course, there are plenty of all fur vintage coats available was well.

There are quite a few men's overcoats currently listed, and over the past few weeks, the most expensive vintage coat from the 1970s that sold was actually a coat designed for a man.  It was an Italian Vigugna Wool coat that sold for just over $700.  That's just a little more than I've personally ever spent on a coat, but the auction did explain that a pound of this type of wool sells for $225 and that the fabric runs around 6 grand.  That makes $700 look like a pretty good deal I guess!

Right now you could probably do alright for yourself if you are interested in checking out some vintage coats and jackets because the market is getting a ton of them added to it.  Remember that vintage sizes tend to run small.  It isn't that the items have shrunk (usually).  We as a society seem to have supersized a bit over the past few decades.  Some people also say that manufacturers have changed their labeling as well, but that's a pretty hot topic of debate.

You may have noticed that many of the items shown off on this site are from eBay.  Honestly, I don't know where else you can find the real deal vintage stuff for anywhere near the prices you find there.  During my few visits to vintage clothing retail outlets I have usually been a bit disappointed in the selection and often shocked by the prices.  That isn't meant to be a slam at the owners of those little shops.  They are just doing what they have to in order to make a buck, but they have a lot more expenses to consider than your average person who found some hippie clothing from their glory days stashed away in an attic.

On eBay you can usually buy from the original owner.  The owners of those little shops often have to find the stuff, buy it and then mark it up enough to cover their expenses  and make some profit.  They are an extra step between you and the vintage clothing you want.

Older leather jackets sometimes show some wear after a bit of time.  You might consider this adding "character" to it, or you might just want to help prevent it.  The video at the bottom of this post will give you some ideas about what you can do to keep the old leather fresh.

Leather bomber jackets are bid on quite a bit, but so are biker jackets and fashions featuring fringes in shrunken down sizes for ladies.  If you are more into funkier fashions, there are jackets that combine leather and fur as well as styles appearing in a rainbow of colors.  Be sure to check out all of the photos because some of these older jackets also feature appliques on the back that you might want to know about.

Remember that when you buy vintage clothing, you should not just go by the tagged size.  Our society has sort of "supersized" itself, so those old tags don't always match up to today's sizes.  Check to see if the jacket or coat you are looking at has actual measurements listed and then always compare them to something that you know fits before placing a bid or clicking "buy it now".

You can usually find some pretty cheap prices on leather jackets compared to what new ones cost and these vintage ones have often been taken care of very well by their original owners.  People like the vintage styles a lot, but the fact that they are less expensive than brand new coats can be a real bonus today.  If you don't see what you are looking for at first click, you can always get more specific in your search by adding terms like "racer" or "biker" to the search.  Here are a few of the results for "70's leather jacket" that are available right now.

On eBay, it seems that the older the jacket, the more valuable it is.  That isn't always the case with vintage clothing.  As I was checking recently, it seems that people are really liking the jean jackets from the 1950s.  Of course the older the item is, usually the harder it is to find.  70's jean jackets are also very popular.  Lee Riders jean jackets and the good old standard LEVI'S jean jacket are always popular it seems.  As the weather gets colder, you will probably start to see the number of bids increasing on those old LEVI'S lined jean jackets that look like someone turned a sheep inside out and lined it with jean material.  They sell even when it is still pretty warm out.

During the 1980s, the acid washed look started to show up.  That, along with an influx of jean jackets with band names on the back give that decade's clothing a bit of a different feel.  Yes, you can find the band names on jackets from other decades, I just mentioned them in relation to the eighties because I've been seeing a lot of them lately.  Surprisingly, for as well as Iron Maiden t shirts sell on eBay, a jean jacket with the band's name on the back recently went without a single bid.  I guess it all depends on what you are looking for and who else is looking at the same time as you.

If you are looking, another item that I saw pass by without any notice was an old vintage jean jacket covered in vintage patches.  That one kind of surprised me because there are people who collect old patches as a hobby.  It was a cheap chance to grab a ton of them.

Vintage clothing can be found without much problem on eBay, but you have to keep your eyes open for the particular item you want.  Doing searches once or twice a week on a very specific phrase is a pretty good way to spot what you want.  Part of why some of the prices for 70's t shirts can get so high is the whole scarcity issue.  You never know what will show up or how often it will come back around.

For people looking for a specific, popular shirt, there are also a lot of 70's reproduction shirts being made today.  These are great if you just want the look and don't necessarily care about the age of the shirt.  This is actually something that fans of authentic vintage have to keep a close eye on because some sellers might try to pass one off as an original or just not know any better and think that they actually are in possession of an authentic piece of 70's clothing.  If you are going to be doing much buying and you really like vintage clothes, it is a good idea to learn a little bit about what brands were commonly used back in the 70's.  You wouldn't want to pay a vintage price for a reproduction you could have had for less than ten bucks.

I sometimes like to take a look at what people bought the week or two before to get an idea of where the demand is at the moment.  I try to keep up on what 70s trend is carrying the day, but there is simply too much stuff!

This past week saw a big rush of bids on a pair of vintage Adidas shoes.  The ebay listing was actually for Adidas France Tahiti shoes.  Those shoes went for over five hundred dollars.  One of the things I try to do if I can when I look at what is selling is remember what was up with that particular item back when it was actually in its prime.  For these shoes, I do actually remember owning a few similar pairs.  I can guarantee that my Mom didn't spend anything near five hundred bucks for them.  If I recall correctly, these actually sort of fell out of favor when other brands came along with the fancy white leather look.  All things Adidas seem to be popular right now as another Adidas item, two shirts also went for over five hundred.  One actually sold for 706 bucks.

For the past week, the biggest vintage 70s clothes seller was a Seven Arrows East West leather jacket.  It wasn't even really close to be honest.  A couple of people must have really wanted that old beauty.  Its final selling price... $3,250.

I kid you not when I say that might be worth more than all of the clothes I've worn so far this year put together!  It's a pretty cool coat though.

I did manage to sort things out and hopefully that will make things easier for you.  If you are specifically looking for plus size clothes from the 70's, you can find them with photos a little bit further down the page.  If you are looking to find all of the vintage plus size clothes regardless of decade, just click

If you ever are able to catch a re-run of Charlie's Angels, you might get the impression that the only 70's clothes available for women in the decade were mumus (I couldn't confirm the spelling on this one), those tent like pseudo shirt/dresses that were one seam short of being a bubble.  I couldn't even find a decent photo of one, but do you remember Mrs. Roper from "Three's Company"?

Fear not buxom vintage fans, there really was fashionable clothing available for those of larger proportions!  You just have to know how to look for it.  I've wasted, er, spent a lot of time searching things out on eBay over the years you know.  Here is a little sample of some nice looking 70's clothes that were designed for larger folks.  Just a word of warning though, in general, clothes were cut a bit tighter back then.  Everything hadn't been supersized yet.  I mention this because some people might want to contact sellers for actual measurements that they can compare to clothing they already own.  Many buyers will already include this, but if they don't most will be very accommodating if you ask for additional information.
