Crowley Vintage is an amazing store and a true gem for vintage menswear, often described as the finest or best vintage shop. It offers an incredible, well-curated, and dense selection of top-notch pieces from a range of periods and styles, including unique patterns and colors that are hard to find. The collection is stylish, abundant, and features very cool, quality items, with some pieces appearing never to have been worn. The shop is an incredible store with a wide variety of really cool pieces, though some items are not for sale or for rental only.
The store provides premium access to unique, well-preserved vintage fashion that is not readily available anymore. Each piece is thoroughly selected, inspected, repaired where necessary, and cleaned. This quality and curation come at a price; it is not a bargain second-hand store. The prices are reasonable for vintage pieces, though some may be considered high or overpriced. There does not appear to be much bargaining, as prices are set for each piece when requested.
The staff and owner are very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and polite. They are a joy to chat with, discussing the history of pieces and making micro-adjustments to ensure quality. The experience is enjoyable and fun, with customers easily spending a few hours looking around. Visitors look forward to returning, making it a destination for those in New York or traveling from places like Germany or London.
Not only is it a great clothing selection. It’s also a great place to source vintage art, have found a lot of great pieces there!

Crowley Vintage is a shrine to venerable menswear. I found the owner welcoming and eager to share his passion. The inventory is astounding, beautifully organized, and the value is more than fair given the care put into restoring each piece. Shopping here is a magical experience.
