Outside of eBay it can be pretty tough nabbing all those great second hand pieces you often see posted around the blogosphere and various style forums. JandHP, a brand new webstore, is running with the idea of vintage and adding their own twist on what it means to buy second hand. A mutual friend hit me with JandHP's interesting backstory - Jonathan, who I can only assume is the "J" in their namesake, used to manage the NYU Rugby store and intern with the accessories division. With his legit sewing skills he now makes and/or alters all the gear seen on the JandHP webstore. Not only are these one of a kind pieces insanely affordable, especially for tailored goods, but they fit better than almost anything you are going to get off the rack anywhere else. Along with the various garments you can pick up some real unique accessories as well as the best selection of vintage kicks I have seen online outside of The Bay. Like any vintage shop the selection is highly limited so you need to be quick and deadly to snipe some of the better stuff (don't bother with the white bucks seen below as ya boy got those first and foremost). There has never been a better excuse to get dandy.
