    Go upstairs and head to the right and keep on going until you hit the back room. The best collection of vintage threads in town

    Check out the men's bargain cart on the second floor after hitting up the dollar per pound section! Shirts for $1 and sweaters for $2. It's a lot easier to sort though and the items are nicer!

    The staff is extremely helpful; if you have trouble finding a part of a costume or outfit, they'll point you in the right direction. Just ask!

    For all of the ballers on a budget, this is your place. Where else can you can buy clothes by the pound? Spread the word on Wyngspan: http://bit.ly/1jFzNj2

    Go the The Garment District to find a funky outfit to wear...anywhere. But try Dollar-A-Pound's pile of clothes on the floor to gather up outfits and odds-and-ends for a $1.50 a pound. :)

    Clothes by the pound still a thing after all these years. And it's only gone up .50 cents (to $1.50) since I was a kid.

    An institution in the used clothing business. Dirt cheap and always fun.

    The $1.00 per pound room is well worth the dig! I recently found a Bonwit Teller Private Label coat in near MINT condition!

    The Dollar-a-Pound section is actually $1.50 per pound on all days except Friday. Good finds and fun to look through.

    Those who like a good dig should hit this vintage emporium’s Dollar-a-Pound section before heading upstairs to the women’s department, where a trove of about 40,000 pieces awaits. Read more

    Very unique. I thought I walked into a teenagers bedroom, but it all worked. It was sorta fun rummaging around. Costume store was a homerun.

    Sell clothes you don't wear anymore! Drop off your items, come back in a few hours, and get cash or a gift certificate.

    In general not much, if any for big and tall dudes. If you wear larger than a 40" waist you'll be SOL.

    Only bring threads to sell if your whole collection is junk: the buyers don't want anything that looks like something one might wear unironically. Read more
