Manhattan Vintage Show

Did any of the NYC crowd catch the Manhattan Vintage clothing show this past weekend? I wanted to go but aside from being mostly women's clothing, most things were out of my price range. Anyone grab any good finds?
 
Here's a repost of my comment on the MVS from last week. Hope it helps.

As for the Manhattan Vintage show, it's rough for men. About 95% of the dealers only have women's. Plus there's the $15 entrance fee ($20 without the invite) and you would think that with that fee you'd be in for some bargains, but certainly, that is not the case. Overcoats were about $100-$150 in good condition. I found a suit or two that didn't fit for about the same. There's a tie guy with a lot of ties but he's a bit pricey: $25 -$35 for ties I know he's getting on ebay for $5. The one score I made was a 60s Pierre Cardin bolero jacket that I haggled down to $75 from $110. I told her I was the only guy who was going to come around and fit in it. If the entrance fee were $5 for men -considering they have so little there for us- I'd go again, but not for the $15.

Kind regards,

Senator Jack
