Popeye #939 My Good Vintage Guide

POPEYE magazine is the 'Magazine for City Boys'. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What's a 'city boy'? The term doesn't appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this 'city boy' might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.

Popeye – Issue 939: My Good Vintage Guide

This month's Popeye magazine celebrates the timeless allure of vintage fashion. 

In the quaint town of Shoin Shrine, a mother riding a mamachari bicycle glances at a store under construction and muses, 'Could this be another second-hand clothing shop?'

Meanwhile, The Nonfiction showcases a trendy second-hand store in Shimokitazawa, and on YouTube, celebrities can be seen snapping up museum-quality vintage denim. This reflects the current second-hand clothing craze sweeping the town.

Some argue that the vintage clothing trend has peaked due to its mainstream popularity. However, the mix of high-quality gems and less desirable pieces makes the hunt for unique finds even more exciting. Whether it’s old, rare, or pricey, the true allure lies in discovering your own treasure.

But beyond the labels and rarity, what truly matters is the passion for second-hand clothing—the thrill of uncovering a piece with a story to tell.
