I don't really go for vintage. The stuff I buy is more contemporary, more recent in style and such.
The consignment shop I go to is very particular about the quality of the stuff they take. Everything is in good condition, and nothing smells or looks dirty. Seriously, this has been a great way for me to update my wardrobe this winter. I bet I've spent no more than about 150 bucks, with the biggest ticket items being the big overcoats, and come away with some really classy casual dress stuff. These sport coats alone would each cost at least a couple hundred new in some men's shop--I got Oscar de la Renta and Banana Republic brands! And I got 2 pair of Clairborne dress trousers for only 7 bucks each.
