I buy vintage too. Love the hunt and the excitment of the find. I still have a beautiful wool/cashmere coat from England bought 10 years ago in a thrift store for $5. Its gorgeous and classic. Jackets and coats are addictive. Can you ever have enough black motorcycle jackets? How many silk Chinese jackets does anyone need? This is a "collection" you see, so as with any collection, it will pass to the next owner in good time, so no guilt.
I agree with Shannon, buying vintage is an excellent way to get quality and variety at a reasonable price. I love to buy my vintage at Darling in NYC. Check out the Store Adore website for discounts!
