đ”ïžâïž Cambridgeâs Hidden Vintage Gems: Two Porter Square Spots Youâve Never Heard Of Porter Square in Cambridge is full of under-the-radar findsâand these two vintage shops? Theyâre proof. Tucked away, barely noticeable from the street, but packed with treasures. Hereâs why theyâre worth hunting down. đ 1. Keezer's Classic Clothing (P1-7): Timeless Menswear with Tailored Flair Vibe: Old-school, no-fuss, and quiet. The storefront is easy to miss, but step inside and youâll find racks of vintage suits, trench coats, leather jackets, and leather goods (wallets, belts). Think âgentlemanâs wardrobeâ from decades pastâpolished, classic, and built to last. Finds: Stumbled on vintage Italian, British, and American labels: Ralph Lauren, London Fog, Brooks Brothers, JPress. Even spotted luxury pieces (Dior, Burberry, LV) hiding among the racksârare for a no-frills spot. Bonus: Smaller sizes work for women, too! Plus, they offer suit rentals (perfect for grads) and in-house tailoringâso that thrifted blazer can fit like it was made for you. Why go? No crowds, no hypeâjust quality vintage at fair prices. đ 2. Chartreuse Microbus Collective : Quirky, Young Womenswear in a CafĂ© Location: Hidden inside CafĂ© Zing, this new collective feels like a pop-up with staying power. Multiple vintage/thrift vendors share space, so styles range from retro 90s to Y2K to bohemian. Vibe: Fun, eclectic, and easy to lose track of time in. Think bold prints, vintage band tees, flowy dresses, and quirky accessoriesâgreat for anyone hunting for âstatement piecesâ rather than classics. Why go? Itâs like browsing a bunch of small thrift shops in one spot. Perfect for mixing and matching, or finding that âI canât believe I found thisâ item. âš Why Cambridge Beats Boston for Vintage Porter Square (and Cambridgeâs other squares) feel more lived-inâsmaller, denser clusters of shops with personality, no tourist crowds. Itâs where you find pieces with stories, not just âvintage for Instagram.â Addresses: Keezer's Classic Clothing: 1740 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 Chartreuse Microbus Collective: Inside CafĂ© Zing (check the cafĂ©âs address for details!) #CambridgeVintage #PorterSquareFinds #ThriftTreasures
