Don’t hesitate – buy

‘When I see something I like in a vintage shop, I hide it. I saw this great Beach Boys T-shirt for £12 in Beyond Retro in London and hid it with the jackets. I went back just in time to see some guy pick it up, hold it up to himself and bloody buy it.’

Ignore naysayers

‘I bought a brown suit in Belfast’s Rusty Nail just to spite my friends really, who said it was nasty. I grew to love it.’

Comfort comes from age

‘Vintage clothes feel nicer when they’re worn in a bit. They’re just … softer.’

Beware of pits

‘There are downsides to wearing vintage clothes, of course. I’ve had a couple of shirts with bad armpit situations.’

Measure yourself

‘Buying on eBay is always tricky. I bought a T-shirt that ended up being a belly top. Which was a bit of a shame.’
