Great selection of vintage, men's and women's both - leather and jean jackets, pants, hats and everything in between.

I must come back to add pictures. This place is amazing, fun and perfect for that desire to be creative, beautiful, flowey and awesome. Staff was so helpful and willing to make suggestions and guidance. Wow, get there now and buy stuff.

Extremely friendly, great prices and overall a really fun place to get a great mix, 1920s-80s,90s you name it.

Love the store... Neph's customer service is the best...

Alma Love

wonderful selection-very pricey items, but it makes sense considering their age and quality.

One of the three great used clothing store trifecta in Central Square. Great place to pick up so called "vintage" clothing, but without having to pay the pretentious hipster curated price typically associated with those kinds of shops. Don't expect $50 incorrectly dated wool blazers with patched holes, the stuff here is in good shape for a legitimately low price, and covers a much wider range of periods from (an admittedly smaller collection of) cool 40's and 50's stuff, to a huge variety from the 60's and 70's. We're talking Brady Bunch lapels and collars. The selection changes hugely with the seasons, as well as having a generally quick rate of turnover. For instance, in the summer they bring in a lot of original old Hawaiian shirts, and in the fall they have a good costume type selection. So between paying $5-15 an item and the regular refreshment in stock, it's very much worth it to drop in regularly and see what they might have. It's a ridiculously unique place, and a legitimate local institution.

Very helpful, found what I was looking for and got some additional accessories. Great advice and great ugly Christmas sweaters. :)

Amy Bu

Pretty niche, although good selection, and kinda pricey

Neph and Charles welcomed us into their store with open arms. We were on a search for a specific costume and they spent so much time helping us perfect our outfits. What a store - something for every occasions. Go see them today!!!

COMPLETE GEM! This place is a wonderland of eye candy - go for your any-era-appropriate needs of every kind. Vintage steals & costume deals are tucked in every corner. I'm prepping for an 80's themed wedding (you read that right!) and since my original (amazing, vintage!!) frock (from here of course,) may not be finished at the tailor in time, I returned last night for a backup....and left with not 1 but 2 amazing dresses, a gold lurex pantsuit thing, and an embroidered puffed-sleeve cropped jacket. WATCHOUT 80's WEDDING WEEKEND, HERE I COME. Seriously though, check it out - you'll have a blast.

Good place to get a Halloween costume from

Kathleen Cardona

Fantastic curated collection of vintage and new fashion! We always find something perfect.

Steven Creelman

There is a reason that Cambridge is the epicenter of Vintage, and Great Eastern leads the way. Not just for Halloween, this place has everything.

Molly Cavanaugh

You've got to go. I got the trippiest Pierre Cardin button up there. Super cool place!

Cesara Walters

This vintage shop has been exceptionally curated with a large variety of pieces in a wide range of sizes. All of the prices were beyond reasonable and the customer service was the best I've ever received in a retail establishment. I will definitely be back!
