Hippie clothing is pretty popular again. There are tons of reproduction shirts, vests, and who knows what else being sold online and in retail outlets. Much of it is overpriced and cheaply made however. People who appreciate true vintage clothing can see the difference and that is why there is still such a market for the authentic vintage clothing that is selling so well.

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.

The items listed above are all from the "vintage" category of eBay, so you should not have the annoying issue of running into cheesy costumes that rip and fall apart as soon as you bend over to pick something up. I've mentioned this before, but when buying vintage, always be sure to check on the actual measurements and compare them to a piece of similar clothing that you already own. Hippie clothing and pretty much all of the authentic vintage clothing you will ever come across was cut to different size specifications back in the day. It seems that we have grown a bit, so today's extra large is sometimes bigger than a piece of vintage clothing marked with the same size. You also have to take into consideration that clothing often changes size after it has been washed and dried a few times. As always, ask the seller questions if you aren't certain about anything.

Vintage 70’s Jean Jackets

One of the classic pieces of clothing from decade to decade has been the jean jacket. Vintage jean jackets hold a special appeal for some people and many have a preference of the styles from one particular decade or another.

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.
