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
Alex ClarkeAugust 27, 2011Check 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!
Jake SmithDecember 15, 2011The 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!
Love the 2 dollars a pound if you take a picture at the store and tag the garment district on instagram you get 5 dollars off :-)
WyngspanJanuary 23, 2014For 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
Leah AtwoodJanuary 4, 2017Love this shop! Halloween costume galore, as well as vintage pieces I can wear everyday.
J TJanuary 31, 2014Clothes 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.
TeriMarch 22, 2013Sell clothes you don't wear anymore! Drop off your items, come back in a few hours, and get cash or a gift certificate.- Best place for used, vintage and funky new clothing around. Also, costumes! Rental and sales. Love this place.
Nkemji OguekweMarch 24, 2010Go 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. :)
Dan AlbanJuly 28, 2011Very unique. I thought I walked into a teenagers bedroom, but it all worked. It was sorta fun rummaging around. Costume store was a homerun.
IFCJuly 6, 2011Check out a different way to shop for clothes. Every day of the week shop 850 lbs of clothing by paying by the pound.
Lucky MagazineMarch 15, 2010Those 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

Ti TiJanuary 24, 2012The store tends to be organized by decade, have fun and try something on from each one!
Miriam GoldmanNovember 8, 2014An institution in the used clothing business. Dirt cheap and always fun.
Colin B.April 28, 2013In general not much, if any for big and tall dudes. If you wear larger than a 40" waist you'll be SOL.
Clothing purchasing Tues-Sat 12-7p. Donate things they don't want and get $10 store credit!
Stephany K.October 3, 2010The $1.00 per pound room is well worth the dig! I recently found a Bonwit Teller Private Label coat in near MINT condition!- 50% off sale this weekend plus credit to use in March! You can't beat this deal.
Bonnie ChenJune 1, 2014Cheap finds, but I tend to stop wearing the clothes shortly after I bought them- yesenia linaresAugust 14, 2010I found 3 great items & the total was 3.50 & the dollar per pound pile is amazing, every thrift store junkies dream!
Emily CaskeyNovember 23, 2010The Dollar-a-Pound section is actually $1.50 per pound on all days except Friday. Good finds and fun to look through.
Geoffrey BrailsfordOctober 29, 2011This place is MENTAL for Halloween weekend!!! Get in early, but they have everything
Alex DobyanDecember 18, 2014Just a totally ridiculous place, so if that's your objective this is the spot.- Halloween! Best place ever for costumes, accessories and more.
- All new stock on Monday 8/1. Shop early for the best selection!!
- Reed CochranAugust 26, 2011It's not just for Halloween. Buy your (secondhand) clothing by the pound.
- Cash for your clothes on hold for the month of October
Will SchultzeJune 27, 2011Only 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
Heriberto Hernández IIISeptember 27, 2014This place is not that great in the prostetic department. Limited ears, nose, scars, horns, extra eye... No chins.
