What should I expect from this experience? I’ve never done a shopping appointment like this before!
Almost every shopper arrives at their first pant fitting appointment with thoughts like “What will happen during my shopping appointment” and “How am I supposed to find a pair of vintage pants that fit me perfectly?” – entirely unsure of what to expect. For any negative expectations or worries you might have, we encourage you to leave them at the door and let our team take care of the rest!
What you CAN expect is something completely different from a traditional secondhand shopping experience. If this is your first time shopping secondhand and vintage clothing, you’re in for a treat! Our team’s priorities are your comfort and self-confidence. We’re excited to set a foundation/lay the groundwork for the optimism, encouragement and honesty you deserve to experience when shopping at a brand or retail store.
We’re redefining what it feels like to shop secondhand by providing an intimate and judgment-free setting and revolutionizing shopping for vintage pants in a world where modern sizing can distort or alter perceptions we have of our bodies.
Because we are a retail shop, you can also expect moments where the team is juggling multiple things (answering questions, price checks, customer check out) in addition to fitting you for your perfect pair of pants.
I’m specifically looking for pants and normally have a lot of trouble finding pairs that fit. How will you help me?
Anticipate our team grabbing a few different styles (based on your body type) and sizes (based on your measurements) that we think would look great and fit well on you. You can even expect to explore styles that you wouldn’t normally gravitate towards! We do our best to help our customers see things from a fresh perspective, learn more about their body type and try things outside of their comfort zones without ever compromising comfort and function. We like to call the pant fitting experience a fun journey of exploration.
We also have added extra layers of personalized service like customizing hems and adding darts at the waist to help create a more ideal fit so they’re ready to wear with no additional effort on your end. We believe this further separates our small business from other vintage and secondhand brands in ways that benefit both our customers and the planet.

What are the extra layers of service we provide compared to traditional retail?
What makes our pant fitting appointments uniquely special experiences? Because we specialize in pants, we’d say our team’s ability to not only find the best-fitting vintage pants for you, but also our ability to customize your pants to fit your waist and height through hemming and waist-tailoring done in-house! Say goodbye 👋 to that unwanted gap at your waist and extra-long pant legs that need to be cuffed and say hello to pants that fit your specific lifestyle and needs.
In addition to custom hemming, we'll also teach you about the many different styles of vintage denim and equip you with tools to shop easier for your body’s shape! Even if you don’t purchase a pair of our pants during your appointment, you’ll leave with a fresh perspective of vintage sizing and what feels good on your body (and why!). We want you to know and understand that your body is never the problem for why something doesn’t fit. ❤️
