As soon as you start talking to the midwestern gentlemen from Greenwich Vintage, you know they’re in this for the right reasons.
It’s not a trend or fashion for them, it’s a fundamental belief in doing things the right way.
Read on for a more formal introduction.
WHY DID YOU START GREENWICH VINTAGE?
We at Greenwich Vintage wanted to restore the true style of the American male, which recently has been lost.
People forget that for years the look and attitude of the American male was the envy of consumers both in the US, as well as around the world.
James Dean, Carey Grant, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Steve McQueen, these were American gentlemen that acted with class and dressed with courage.
Simply put, Greenwich Vintage is focused on purveying clothing and offering guidance, which unearths these qualities within today’s American man.
HOW DID YOU GET INTO COBBLING AND MASTER THAT ART?
In the 2003 to 2004 timeframe, I was focused on customizing sneakers.
During that period I really started getting into the deconstruction and reconstruction of sneakers and shoes, simply the art of cobbling.
From there, it was a natural progression for me to move in into “Grown Man” shoes as represented by our unbelievable inventory of vintage wingtips and colored soles.
WHERE DO YOU SEE GREENWICH VINTAGE GOING IN THE NEXT YEAR? THE NEXT 5 YEARS?
reenwich Vintage is focused on its mission to restore the style of the American male and continuing its current growth through hard work and innovation.
Over the next five years Greenwich Vintage’s goal includes being the premier provider of US-made vintage menswear, as well as US-made colored soles.
In addition, the Company is focused on establishing an old time barbershop in the Twin Cities under the stewardship of our own master barber Mustache Mike.
