#49 Vintage

February 3, 2008 by clander

The love affair between white people and old stuff literally goes back for hundreds of years. In the older days, it was almost exclusively contained within the realm of furniture. While white people still love antiques, they don’t always fit so well with a modern lifestyle and kitchen.

Beginning in their late teens, white people begin an obsession with finding cool vintage clothing at local thrift shops and Goodwills. Making purchases at these locations address a number of white person needs.

First, it allows them to say “oh, this? I got this shirt at Goodwill for $3.” This statement focuses the attention on the shirt, taking attention away from the $350 jeans and $200 shoes. The white person can then retain that precious ‘indie’ cred.

Secondly, it allows a white person to have something that other white people don’t. This is an important consideration when trying to determine the worth and ranking of white people.

As white people get older, and the opportunities to wear a “Pittsburgh Special Olympics ’76” T-shirt diminish, they must move their vintage fetish from clothes to furniture and knick knacks. For a post-30 white person, the mention of a ‘vintage stove’ or ‘vintage card catalog” can send their imaginations racing about how to incorporate it into their current home decor.

By having at least one vintage, unique piece of furniture in a room full of Ikea, white people can still tell themselves that they are unique and cooler than their friends.

When you enter a white person’s home, you should immediately search for anything not made by Ikea, Crate and Barrel or Athropologie. Upon finding such an item, you should ask “where did you get that? It’s really cool.” The white person will then tell you a story about how they acquired it, allowing them to feel cool and giving them a reminder about their fantastic taste.

If you want white person to hate you forever, tell them you saw their one-in-a-kind vintage t shirt thingie at target or even worse, walmart!!

Also, white people love shirts that say things …

You can be sure that the vintage item has progressed to not being hipster anymore when it, or an imitation of it, has begun being sold at Old Navy.

It was hip until then, but Old Navy adoption of ironic clothing is the sure sign that every 13 to 18-year-old middle-American, non-biking, non-Prius-driving white person has gotten wise to your irony.

It has become non-ironic and much to easy for anyone to get so now it’s time to move on to the next ironic trend.

Oh no…

I am the whitest white person that ever was white.

Kill me now.
on February 21, 2008 at 10:45 am Lo

why does natalie say kill me now? you can’t really help what you are can you? and why should you want to change? if you like vintage/antique stuff hopefully you like them because you appreciate objects that have stories attached to them, that are you unique in this overly pre-packaged and consumerized world. hopefully its not just to show off and look cool and project a certain image. i’m half white, half hispanic and i like going to thrift shops too. and sometimes i do mix it with more expensive clothes or furniture but the reason i go is not to try to fit in with the indie crowd i just love the feeling of nostalgia I get from them. They remind me either of my own past, or stories my grandparents or parents or other family have told me about their past. they inject a whimsical or humurous feeling into any household that seems a little too prepackaged.
on February 21, 2008 at 2:25 pm Girl

Haha… I’ve got every other white person beat on vintage:

I purchase vintage clothing patterns and make clothes with new fabric. This means that they are not smelly or falling apart. I also go a couple decades earlier than most of my peers who are busy revelling in the 70s and 80s I prefer the 40s/50s… this probably only makes me MORE white, wev.

All this stuff should be turned into a quiz so us white people can figure out exactly how white we are.

on February 26, 2008 at 2:24 pm william

a white person buying a shirt a goodwill to distract one from $200 jeans is not exactly hitting the nail on the head. nor is their motivation to have something nobody else has. faded colors and fabrics have always looked cool and vintage is an aesthetic often enjoyed by black culture, too; consider the reemergence of fat albert and old school nikes.
your message here basically says that “white people are contrived” which is sometimes true but not always.
on February 26, 2008 at 2:59 pm RallyMonkey

Cooler (therefore, “whiter”) than thriftshopping: Sample sale. Get cool stuff for dirt cheap & implies that the buyer has some kind of “connection” to get into the sample sale.

“Dude, where’d you get those (snowboard) boots.”

“Oh, I went to the Vans sample sale last week. I picked these up for $25.”

#13, have you seen the really white vintage cool thing?

It’s a doll called Gene. She’s modeled after Gene Tierny and has very expensive 40’s style clothing sets that have their own names, like “Blossoms in the Snow”, “Stardust Memories” and
“Teatime at the Plaza”.

This doll has more crap than I’ll ever have. She has more cool stuff than Barbie could ever think of. I used to own one of these dolls because as a white girl I too love vintage things even if they aren’t old. But then I wanted to buy another bass guitar, so I sold my Gene collection to a girl in Taiwan on ebay and bought a “vintage” bass.

Ha ha ha!

#25 YES! Absolutely

Let me just add I used to wear vintage as a teen and young adult. AND I may still try to wear it BUT realize that most Vintage clothing is usually really small sizes so that may be in part why older people do not wear it. I mean I have seen some older people than me with some rockin bodies that could still sport the stuff. Look at the runways they are still sportin vintage and a lot of the beautiful people are early and late 40’s.

Furniture has always been a passion but I will admit I am drawn to the unusual and not the cookie cutter things that are produced for us.. though Target has some nice stuff. But with the way prices are with the new found addiction to everything old i certainly can not love it like I did nor can I justify it.

I have a laser disc player and a collection of movies that I keep because the laser disc uses no compression and so there are no compression artefacts in the resulting picture. I have “braveheart”, “ET”, “Fantasia” (in the five side CAV collection), “the abyss” and “time bandits” in a japanese/english bilingual edition.

I assert my whiteness and superiority by showing how my enhanced sensibilities far outstrip the feeble reproductions of DVD’s, and further extend my whiteness by having a laserdisc of the Takanaka “rainbow goblins” concert.

As an historian (white) of African-American culture, I can add a bit of historical context to the mix. As slaves, African-Americans were generally given hand-me-downs and cast-off clothing to wear. Many had only one dress or pair of trousers and shirt and they were ragged, worn out and drab.

As soon as they were free, Southern black ex-slaves made it a point to purchase or make the nicest, fanciest looking clothes in bright colors and extravagant designs in order to distinguish themselves from their depressing sartorial past. Dressing up was a fetish. Note: like white people, wealthier and more well-educated African-Americans would rarely dress in flashy clothes, preferring to maintain a dignified and conservative tone.

I have noticed, as a white person with a lot of black friends, that in general, African Americans like new things. They are horrified, though too polite to mention it, when I say casually “I got this at the thrift shop,” which, being white, I say all the time. I believe the attraction to the new is a hold over from centuries of not being able to have new things due to the financial and cultural pressures faced by minorities in the past (and often in the present), including poverty, lack of education and exposure to the “finer things in life.”

Unlike many whites of the type featured in this blog, they may not have had much to inherit in the way of furniture and knick-knacks and so must buy new anyway. Also, many are forced by financial considerations to buy cheaper goods, and of course, these items don’t last as long. It becomes a cycle in which they discard and buy new more often than those who can afford higher quality goods.

Hope this doesn’t sound racist; that’s one thing white people hate!

I have a Boy Scouts of America T-shirt from the early 70s that is highly coveted by every white person that has ever seen it.
It’s white with red arm and neck bands and a nicely faded BSA logo and stripe across the chest.
Perfect.
I also have an orange T-shirt from 1981 that says something about the innagural flight of some Puerto Rican airline and is nice and tightly contoured to my torso.
This shirt has gotten me laid on more than one occasion, because white girls love it.
The best thing about it is the fact that I don’t know how it ended up in my wardrobe, which white people love to tell other white people: “Yeah, honestly, this shirt just somehow ended up in my collection. I have no idea where it came from.”

I have a lot of vintage stuff on display and by osmosis from my folks including 70’s stereo equipment(including a reel-to-reel), various furniture pieces, and a few old bicycles. But the next ‘vintage’ thing that I am actually going to be spending money on is a little more ambitious then an old bowling shirt. I’m in the process of finding a Ferrari 308 GTB in perfect condition as the Magnum PI t-shirt just ‘aint going to cut it.

If you add up all the ridiculous amounts of money white people on designer purses, tennis shoes, and would-be thrift store ‘vintage’ items at modern designer prices, most could have bought a vintage Porsche or Ferrari already. I could probably ebay half my ‘vintage’ crap and pick up one of each.

on July 15, 2008 at 7:30 pm Open Mind

Ive come on this to the conclusion that the reason white people like all of the shit on this website is the following:
If you got it like that why not experience more with your life.
Shit I golf, snowboard, rockclimb, mountain bike, live in manhattan, drive a fat asS bmw suv, fuck asian women, have plenty of black friends, got sweaters and motherfuckin t-shirts that I’LL wear on a plane to San FraCisco if I damn well fell like it. Shit Ill Even invite my lawyer to my beach house on a sunday for coffee maybe some tea while we read the fuckin New York Times. Yes the Liberal rag that sweats Barack Obama. After that we will indulge in some microbrews on my vintage sail boat.

When I get Bored ill travel the fuck where I want probably to snowboard somewhere usually Utah the whitest fuckin state there is. Ill take in some wine before I watch a film at sundance while I am there.

Just for a challenge I will go to a farmers market get some organic shit go home and order some sushi. You see I am trying to get in shape to run a fuckin marathon. After I finish the first thing I am going to do is shut of my i-pod loaded with free music, grab some bottled water and spark a fat mother fuckin spliff!!!!

YEAH I LOVE BEING AWARE OF DIVERSITY.

HOWEVER THE IRONY OF THIS WHOLE THING IS BEING WHITE FOR ME ONLY FOR ME!!! kICKS BIGTIME ASS!!

on August 20, 2010 at 4:53 pm Antique White

Like Commodore B., I’ve loved “vintage” and “antique” stuff most of my life. I don’t know about other people, but I prefer “vintage” things for the following reasons:

1.) Reduce, reuse, recycle!

2.) I’d rather have good-quality used items them poor-quality new items (in this era of “planned obsolescence,” even expensive new items are often poorly made). This applies to houses, furniture, and sometimes clothing. . .but never to socks or underwear.

3.) Old houses and antique furniture are comforting in both the personal and political senses. When I sit in my grandmother’s chair or use her old pots and pans, I cannot help but think of my grandmother. Similarly, our old house survived World Wars I and II, and there is a faded Civil Defense sticker on the edge of the front door, listing the nearest fallout shelter. When I think about the negative historic events our house has survived, I feel saner living in “these times.”

4.) Aesthetics! (Here comes the “white snob” part of loving vintage and antique things.) I love our house’s original woodwork and other architectural details, even though it means living on the edge of what my very white mother calls a “not very nice” neighborhood. To me, it’s a lower-middle-class multicultural neighborhood where, unfortunately, there is some (usually nonviolent) drug activity. On a daily basis, I’m more bothered by the fact that too many children neighborhood children litter.

I suspect the reason that some Afro-Americans don’t like vintage stuff is because when they were children, they HAD to wear secondhand clothes. Growing up with older cousins and an older sibling, I sometimes wore secondhand clothes myself. My feelings about this entirely depended on how I liked the clothes: sometimes I wished my sister would hurry and grow so I could wear a particular dress, and sometimes I wish I’d been consulted before something was purchased. . .
on September 14, 2010 at 9:06 am Venus

I absolutley adore anything vintage. Clothing, furniture, houses, figurines, cars. I see from ‘Antique White’s’ point of view. It makes me seem more comforted, content and safe. Knowing the times my belongings went through, and they’re still here, running just as well as any ‘modern’ item would be. I don’t believe I enjoy antique items just because I’m caucasian, and I don’t foresee myself urging someone to enjoy these items just as I do. I believe vintage is an aquired taste, and isn’t meant just for formality.
on September 14, 2010 at 9:12 am Venus

Vulgar statements will get you nowhere in life my good fellow. Vintage clothing has nothing to do with obsession, and it isn’t always bought at a thrift store, or a goodwill. Rarely will you find anything literally clasified as vintage in any of the sort. Thrift stores are not meant for ‘poor people’, by which you classfiy poor people as people who cannot afford brand name clothing. Thrift stores are meant for everyone, and if you don’t see it that way, then I feel very sorry for you sir.

ha!! so freaking true. honestly, i found this page via my own perplexed google search of “white people vintage” in an effort to understand the phenomenon that i was sure i was seeing everywhere! looooove this post. seriously, why do so many white people (especially white women) spend so much time and money on dressing in dowdy clothes from a bygone era and then taking “vintage” photos of themselves? i wonder, do they get mad if they have to be in the picture with someone dressed in modern clothing, bc they ruin the “effect/illusion”? i am guessing this “vintage” photo trend is going to look every bit as dated and past-trendy in a few years as other trends. and then these hipsters will be pretty sad that they don’t have any non-ridiculous photos.

White people, especially us WASPs love to spend entire weekends as a spectator, or even better, participating in Civil War re-enactments or for ladies, Jane Austen “teas.” Donning elaborate historic costumes and re-living the glory days of white history connects even later-wave immigrant generations of white Americans with their Anglo-roots. All white people secretly wish they descended from ancestors aboard the Mayflower. Societies like Daughters of the American Revolution continue to thrive as testament to elite privilege of our ancestry.

Re-enactments offer white people a tangible connection with the struggles our fore-bearers endured. This is especially important to assuage any left over guilt we may harbor from our shameful connection to slavery. The societies offer a unique outlet for white people interested in preserving their heritage while reminding themselves we must never repeat history – in quite the same fashion anyway. We plan year-round for these events, sewing authentic costumes, restoring artifacts, and meeting with our society groups. Staying in historic homes or inns while attending such events really adds to the cache that you are helping to preserve the most dignified aspects of historic white culture.

I’m white, and I love all the old vintage/antique stuff, not because its”cool” or “retro” but simply because you can’t beat old fashioned workmanship, the detail and quality is much better than any crap that’s produced in an Asian sweat shop, that produces cheap, tacky crap, also, I like old English made stuff, like Australia, let’s face it, without white invasion, the land would only be used for eating grubs and rubbing sticks together, and last point: non “bogans” shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds.

A PPC campaign should be used to test your site against keyword phrases before you
spend the time and money on an seo campaign. The site owners pay the search engine company every time a surfer clicks on the link to
their site. But there’s also one big, unmentioned reason why
that may not matter.

im so depressed cause basically whites are saying that other whites shouldn’t like old thing or new things or science or nature or collecting things or basically most things since we didn’t invent much and that we should stay in our lane that has very little and boring but I guess that’s good in Christian values or if your not religious just being white means we should like most things. ghis world is mostly non whites Invented things. 　 I means what style or things should we only like and live in huh?
