Melbourne has no shortage of secondhand stores, but if it’s glorious Americana you’re after, American Vintage in Fitzroy delivers in spades. The vast shop is OCD-organized—a rainbow of Justin Boots here, stacks of collegiate sweatshirts there. Also: racks upon racks (more than 5,000 items!) of high-waisted jeans, denim jackets, camouflage, trucker hats, corduroy overalls, Hawaiian shirts, polo shirts, Lees and Levi’s, and that enduring American favorite, ugly Christmas sweaters. God bless ‘merica for wearing it, god bless Australia for keeping the dream alive.
133 Brunswick St., Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia; +61-3-9419-3866.
