Here’s Exclusive Access To Over 50 Great Vintage Items
A subscriber-only, 2 hour head start on the latest drop from elite vintage retailer Good Form.
Good Form in Chicago is, to put it plainly, one of the best vintage retailers in America. Founder Cale Darrell, who launched the business in 2019, has an eye for curating the best of the best in terms of throwback workwear, Americana, and prep that’s second to none—and which stems from a desire to present vintage in a fresh, elevated way. “My main goal was to get out of the ‘Cracker Barrel’ vintage vibe,” he says. “I want folks to wear vintage day to day and for it not to look like a costume.”
And yet, though the aesthetic is refined, I’ve always found that Good Form’s pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality of gear you’re getting. Put all of this together and it’s no wonder why every time the store does a new online drop, I immediately log on to see what goodies have graced the website.
However, because word seems to be rapidly spreading about how good Good Form is, releases have become increasingly competitive over the last few months. I myself can attest to the FOMO I’ve felt several times over, as almost everything the shop releases seemingly sells out within a few hours. Which brings us to the point of today’s post: an exclusive, subscriber-only 2 hour head start on 50+ incredible vintage items that are releasing on Good Form today.
That means from now until 1PM Eastern, subscribers of this newsletter will have first dibs on the entire range, which includes absolute gems like Ralph Lauren loafers, trench coats, chinos, shorts, and loafers, button down shirts from the likes of J.Crew, Abercrombie, and Patagonia, a ton of vintage military gear like over-shirts and fatigues, beautifully distressed Levi’s—plus one of the rarest, coolest duffle bags I’ve ever seen. (The fact that this bag also was made by a Connecticut-based brand is making it particularly tempting to me as I type this.) Anyway, below I’ve highlighted a few of my favorite pieces in the drop, while the password to gain access to the site can be found below that. Enjoy!
This newsletter is ENTIRELY funded by subscriptions. I don’t use affiliate links, and all of these products are things I’ve endorsed and/or included because I actually like them, though in some cases I did not pay for them.
