The Getup Vintage — Local services in Montpelier

Earlier, a couple of weeks ago, I found and purchased a vintage (used) suit as well as a vintage (used) tuxedo style shirt at The Getup Vintage shop in downtown Montpelier late in the morning. The suit had just come into the shop the day before.

This is what I will be wearing when, as a newly elected Justice of the Peace (JP), I will officiating a marriage ceremony next month, my first one.

In addition, later in either the same or following week on a Friday morning, while downtown running errands and doing some shopping, I happened to stop into the Getup Vintage shop just to ask a question and found as well as purchased these reasonably priced hardly worn dress shoes, size 13 and they fit perfectly (third photo).

Mens, womens, and childrens clothing and accessories galore, you'll definitely walk away with a "new" vintage getup. I got my best...

It's funny how vintage shops used to be places to find bargains and now they are generally overpriced. Most clothing made for the American market is dreadful, pedestrian in style and cheaply manufactured. To get anything interesting, vintage is the way to go.

The Getup Vintage has an okay selection for women and a not so great selection for men. It is expensive and has a limited selection. It's not really a fun shop to explore. I almost never see anyone wearing something interesting or praiseworthy in Montpelier so...

It's so difficult to run a small shop in Montpelier and I feel for the owners, I'm not sure how they survive. Maybe they do...
