I was there twice in the month week, found myself some vintage shoes, and now I can't take them off my feet. I sleep in them and work in them. Also, I noticed people crowded around this one area where they were selling jeans, and the entire section was marked down. I could not believe the quality and style of these jeans. Cheap Jack's must have treated these clothes proper because the jeans I bought must have been at least 40 years old. I just got a complement about them while at a club! Who knew that vintage was so IN these days. The fact that this place has so much available makes me want to return over and over. And you just CAN'T beat the price. Unfortunately, I wish the store was a little bigger because I noticed they rotate the clothing on a regular basis and a shirt I wanted to buy two of was gone after 2 days and replaced by something different. Pros: clothing choice, price Cons: not large enough for me

I want to make this short and sweet but when its bad I can;t resist pulling out all the stops and warning the public. SHOPPERS BEWARE! On a whim a friend told me about Jack's so I decided to check it out. Sadly I wasted to much time doing so. We will start with the decor or the lack of. It seems the place has never seen the likes of Stanley steamers or a interior designer. At least the fixtures are vintage. The clothes however are not. Upon perusing their selection I come across items I was wearing in the 90's. NOT VINTAGE by any standard but priced three times what the retailed for at the time. I even spotted a A&F Jacket priced close to two hundred dollars. Alot of garbage that looks like it was rescued from Salvo and most of it literally falling apart. The sales girls are super nice and very helpful at directing you to various sections of the store and knowing 'the looks' of that era. However there was a creepy old man wondering around smoking and scowling at people in the store. I am to assume this to be Jack himself and not the store mascot. The only thing worth seeing in this place is their back room full of sequence frocks and over the top evening gowns but unless you have two or three hundred bucks to drop on one then I recommend going else where. Rags A Go Go anyone? SHOP ON! Pros: Amazing Knowledgable slaes staff Cons: The Price and Quality

I have been shopping at Cheap Jack's since I was 13 in my converse sneakers. At that time, The Antique Boutique and Cheap Jack's were a priority visit every time I was in the village area. Since then, Jack's has really grown. Now in its new location at 303 5th avenue @ 31st street, contact 212-777-9564 Check out the website and learn about the different eras of clothing http://www.cheapjacks.com/ The store is truly one of the last "real" vintage clothing stores left in Manhattan. It is well organized by era and the clothing is in fantastic condition for vintage. The selection is immense that it can be overwhelming at times. You wont be disappointed though. I am always in there at least over an hour. Especially with all the cute day dresses, Victorian jackets and Jackie O suits...I just have to try them all! This place is not so cheap...but has great prices for the vintage selection. A vintage t-shirt here is a real vintage shirt and not some reproduction with a common iron-on. My latest find is a fake fur coat with 3/4 sleeves with leather trimmed cuffs and pockets. It was slightly too big but I just had to have it...so the in-house tailor had to take it in. The in-house tailor does costumes for theater productions so it is a very professional job and have no qualms of having a vintage piece altered. Yes, its true...I bought a winter coat in the midst of this heatwave that it was torture trying it on in the store and wearing it while deciding to buy it. It is though, the best buy of the year for me because I now have this style coat I have been looking for for a long time. Its so shabby chic that it looks like a coat that I pulled from grandma's one of a kind collection and I am pretty confident I will never find another like it...and neither will you.

Cheap Jack's sells used, vintage clothing. It's a huge store, with a great selection, although it can be daunting in terms of finding things. They carry both men's and women's clothes and most of it seems to be from the 70s to now, although I have found some older things as well. The prices are mostly very good, and if you have the patience for this type of shopping experience (I don't), it's definitely work checking out.

whether you're looking for vintage clothes for a costume party, or something cool and funky to update your wardrobe, you will definitely find it at cheap jacks. however, be ready to look, nothing is found easily. but patience and a steady eye eventually pays off, as there are beautiful dresses to be found. the clothes are divided into different decades. i think they have a really great 40's section. the prices are okay, some of the stuff there can be really expensive. However, they are in a really good quality. there are also stuff there that are pretty well priced. and they have shoes and hats too.

This is an overpriced vintage shop. Although they have a large selection of used t-shirts, they are ridiculously priced for having already been worn. They also had some new stuff that was again, over-priced. The salespeople were not attentive at all and I had to track someone down to try a pair of pants on. I decided not to buy them even though they fit well. I was simply disgusted with the hollow customer service and the overpriced merchandise.

Sad to say that this Union Square vintage clothing store is going out of business. I've heard it will relocate but for now if you can get there you'll find the biggest selection of vintage clothing in Manhattan. I first found cheap jacks while in High School. I must say Cheap Jack's used to be a whole lot cheaper but soaring rent will cause any store to raise prices and in this case, decide to close. This place has stuff from just about every decade. Dresses, pants, hats, t-shirts, boots, you name it they got it!
