The Corduroy Cat -- A Nostalgic Trip Back to the '80s & '90s!…read more
I first came across The Corduroy Cat on my Instagram feed, and as soon as I saw that it was a vintage clothing store packed with '80s and '90s goodies, I knew I had to check it out. So, I finally made the trip with my wife and kids, and I'm glad I did!
Located in Hartville, Ohio, just up the street from the Hartville Marketplace, The Corduroy Cat is basically a little slice of nostalgia for anyone who grew up loving the '80s and '90s.
Walking around the store, I found tons of awesome vintage band T-shirts featuring artists like Marilyn Manson, Iron Maiden, Blink-182, and many more. They also have a great selection of sports shirts and jerseys, wrestling shirts, and all kinds of other vintage clothing from different genres.
And if clothing isn't enough to satisfy your nostalgia fix, they have plenty of other cool stuff to check out too! You can find vintage game systems, music CDs, DVDs, and vintage VHS movies. Basically, if it reminds you of a time when Blockbuster was king, CDs were the way we listened to music, and you had to actually get off the couch to change the channel, there's a good chance you might find something here!
The Corduroy Cat actually reminded me a lot of another fantastic shop, The Retro Attic Akron in Akron, Ohio. Both places have that same awesome feeling of stepping back in time and being surrounded by things that bring back memories from the '80s, '90s, and beyond.
I didn't end up buying anything during my visit, but sometimes the fun is simply walking around, looking at all the cool stuff, and taking a trip down memory lane.
If you're a fan of vintage clothing, '80s and '90s nostalgia, music, sports, wrestling, old-school electronics, VHS, or just hunting for that next vintage treasure from yesteryear, I'd definitely recommend checking out The Corduroy Cat. Lastly You can also sale your vintage clothes to the shop for money on the spot and the customer service was great as well. I was greeted upon entering the shop and was ask if I needed any help.
Who knows? You might walk in looking for nothing and walk out with a piece of your childhood!
