    The best thrift store in LA!
    Ivy E.

    I came here with my friend on another friend's recommendation and am thrilled at the great deals one can find! . On Sundays they set up small piles outside the store where all items are one dollar and it's cash only. I sifted through the different piles of clothes and found black pleated pants, a coat, a green and cream printed scarf and a couple other one of a kind finds. I was short one dollar for the six pieces I picked up and the gentleman that was running the outside booth let me have the 6th piece for free! . Inside the store is definitely more pricey, but rightfully so. Everything is organized by item. Any and everyone can find clothing that aligns with their style here. If you're looking to be bougie on a budget, Jet Rag is the place to do so!

    Huge selection for both men and women. Make a trip there for a special occasion dress, cool fall jacket or mens dress shoes. You'll find me downstairs (yes multiple levels) picking out a vintage 2 piece women's suit. No returns.

    I went in yesterday looking for specific items! I was a little overwhelmed & couldn't decide what I wanted! Yoshi at the register was extremely kind, & patient! Answered every single question, & helped me curate some pieces for my brand! Thank you so much!

    Super cool vintage store with a vast variety. Once you walk in you are taken to another place entirely! There is so much in here! I really like how organized this store is not only by garment but also by decade! Prices are clearly marked and in all honestly are fairly reasonable. Many places i have been to are very picky about trying on the clothes but here you are more than welcomed to. The store itself is two floors and has items ranging from accessories, shoes, dresses to jackets, shirts and military items. When you come here be prepared to take the time and really look at the items they have. Super neat store and super cool to see how fashion has changed over the decade. On sundays (with good weather) they also have a $1 pile sale! I'm not sure what type of items they have there but i'm sure one can find something they like or at least have some fun searching!

    First time visiting Jet Rag, checking out their Sunday $1 sale. Found a couple great vintage finds - beaded jackets and dresses, silk blouses, styles from the 70's & 80's. You have to dig to find the good stuff but that's to be expected at thift stores. Get there early to get first pick - expect a larger crowd, there are some serious thrifters who mostly likely are flipping them.

    Still one of the better priced vintage stores in the LA/Melrose area, but I'm between a 3 and a 4 on our recent experience there. For those who enjoy thrifting and upcycling, the 99 cent sales on Sunday at Jet Rag are the stuff of legend. Imagine hundreds of clothing items thrown out in the parking lot, literally on the floor, with countless thrifters picking through them. Most items are stained, some have holes, but hey at 99 cents, if you are patient, you may find at least one or two items to treasure. Inside Jet Rag, they have an excellent selection of vintage belts, shoes, and dresses and given the outrageous prices down the street at their main competitor, Wasteland, you may be able to score a few great deals and reuse some classic pieces. On the down side, their policy of taking your purse while shopping is tragic. I don't care how bad your inventory loss problems are folks, there has got to be a better way to stem loss than demanding all your customer's purses. Now I get collecting backpacks, totes and retail bags, and its certainly reasonable to store these behind a counter, but purses (!!) are a personal item and asking every female customer to leave their purses (keys and wallets) behind a desk with a stranger for the privilege of shopping in your store seems a bridge too far and frankly, targets female customers. Why don't you just take those guy's wallets too, while you are it?

    Vintage collection is impressive and pricey considering a lot of the clothes are not in great shape (maybe at first glance but seams are ripping and the furs are coming up on the corners where they're sewn in on more than one jacket). They have a huge selection of everything ranging from 1950s pantsuits to cheap tourist stuff (sunglasses and plastic rings and plastic earrings). You can overpay for just about any article of clothing you can imagine here. Sizing is not inclusive and the plus size section is small and in the way back corner of a side room. Any clothes that aren't an authentic vintage are priced as though they're new and trendy (they're usually neither) - cotton tye dye t-shirts are over $20. Jeans run around $40. Flannels are $20-30. Shoes will literally have a sticker from target with the price badly scratched off and charge twice as much? Staff is neither friendly nor unfriendly, just pretty focused on making sure you're not stealing. All in all this would be a lower review but I have to give it to them that the Sunday sale seems decent and I haven't been. It seems like pretty much the only thing people like about this store is the sale. It seems like their clientele is not the type to to shop at a real thrift store. As someone who grew up in a family that relied on secondhand stores, I definitely have a bias against these boutique stores that have the audacity to charge $28 for a pair of Charlotte Rousse shoes with black footprints permanently imprinted in them from previous wear. Tourists- go here for selfies and the Sunday sale. Vintage collectors- check out the collection, I don't know what the appropriate pricing for a lot of these pieces are People who rely on secondhand clothing stores and anyone who wants to shop more ethically- make your way to one of the lgbt thrift stores or the bigger ones in less touristy areas. To store management- I seriously recommend you price your items fairly or at least do a better job scraping off the evidence that you're trying to upsell your used shoes

    My costume as a creepy doll
    Claudia J.

    I came in looking for items to put together for a costume and this place rocks! I called prior to going and spoke to Andrea ( Andreya) which she was so friendly and had great energy about her which brought me to the store. Andrea was the most helpful, friendliest, professional, creative sales queen ever. Give this woman a raise cuz she is a great asset to Jet Rag. All the people working there are super cool I ended up changing my idea for a costume after brainstorming ideas with her and boom success. Very happy with the outcome. Thank you Andrea for your patience you rock. There is limited parking however I didn't have to wait too long for a spot. This place has a lot of variety and interesting items. Highly recommend

    Cool spot, they still have $1 Sundays in the parking lot area. You just need to be creative and patient when searching for you extra gem.

    Their one dollar Sunday is great, but you can find a huge array of costume or street clothes here.

    This was a great thrift store for specific Western, lo-Cal vibes. With a sprinkle of military garb…read more I thought the holdings were pretty sparse. They did have great, authentic silver and turquoise. Service was unenthusiastic.

    Raggedy Threads is my favorite vintage store in L.A. - no contest. Don't let this tiny little store…read more- located in a tiny little corner of Little Tokyo - fool you: It's like a treasure trove of rare finds. I've been on a huge vintage kick lately, so this store has been my go-to source for old tees. My reasons for going vintage are primarily environmental since the carbon footprint and resources needed to make new clothes are substantial - and incredibly wasteful when there's so much awesome used clothing out there. Another reason: Your friends can't copy your style. Most recently, I picked up a few tees from the 1970s and 80s. Being in L.A. they get a lot of local and California vintage shirts with logos, designs, and jokes that only true Californians would get. I couldn't resist buying a Castroville "Giant Artichoke" tee they had over the summer. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards regional finds like these because they bring back such great memories of my youth and of family road trips up and down my home state. They also carry old college (Go Bears!), high school, and everyone's favorite - summer camp tees. Plus, you cannot beat the vintage fit from the 70s/80s. Caveat: Today's "S" is equivalent to an "M" or bigger because people were presumably thinner back then. So do your part for the environment and look effortlessly stylish doing it by shopping used and vintage! And there's no better place in L.A. for this than Raggedy Threads.
