    This is a great concept 2nd hand shop for people to cycle their gently used name brand items. At the same time to support local business. The store is very well organized and clean. Staff were efficient given the amount of sellers they have to deal with on the daily basis. They do have a good selections of clothing, shoes and dresses. Selections of handbags are not ao much. Pricing of some clothing are not very good, for instance some Lululemon items and basketball shoes. For sellers, the wait can be long. They tell you 45min-1hr, but can take up to close to 2hr. And they tend to lowball the bags, not really a good place to sell your high-end handbags, hence they don't have much good selections. Sellers can get Better prices to sell via one of the online platforms. Also be aware, they only take in 2 bags per person & they don't take tall boots. @WineDinenVacay definitely recommend this place to check out & always compare prices +quality when shop

    Wow a place that had gently used and in some cases new clothing at reasonable prices. Either take your old close in to sell and get some store credit or cold hard cash. The service is fast and the folks working there are always friendly and pleasant. (Can I get a discount). I always find men's clothes that are current and in great condition. I have bought brand new shoes there for half price. Wow, for those that don't wear "used" clothing, get over yourself and stop in. You will change your mind. YELP approved

    Great service and fun shopping. Never know what treasure you might find. There are not many fun stores to shop in left after Covid

    I have a camel hair coat size 16 and a outfit worn to grandsons wedding. Are they salable and what are the rules or what do I need to do? They really belong to a friend and…

    Hi Angie - It's difficult to make an assessment of specific items without seeing them in person. We do tend to buy styles that are more casual, so we would likely not purchase the wedding outfit. If you have other items you're looking to sell, we… Read more

    I've bought (amongst other things) a vintage men's cashmere overcoat, a pocket flask, Lucky Tiger…read moreaftershave balm, and a very nice silvertip badger shaving brush from Sixteen Tons. This is a shop that can satisfy the needs of the hipster who needs to dress up his retro a little bit, along with young professionals who want some classic flair. Yes, you can wear a tweed jacket over raw-selvedge denim jeans and make it look good. The shop's got a good selection of both new and old, the buying for vintage clothes is done well, and prices are very reasonable. If you wanna class up your act a little bit without breaking the bank, guys - this is a good place to stop. It's a little bit rockabilly, a little bit Mad Men, and a little bit Animal Collective. Enjoy.

Hampden doesn't really have any other mens clothing stores (except thrift shops) so its a great addition to the neighborhood. Think of it like the sister...er..brother store to Double Dutch. Sixteen Tons also carries other man-gifts like wallets, cologne, belts, ties, hats, etc. The clothing can be quite pricey, depending on the item, but I did recently notice a sale bin! It's difficult for me to get my boyfriend to step into an actual store, or buy something vintage ("If its used, should it be cheaper?"), so its best that I come here alone and bring back what he doesn't want. I always end up asking a bunch of questions when I'm here- usually about sizing. When the owner is in the shop, he is warm and super friendly and helpful. There is another employee who always seems annoyed that I have the nerve to ask about an item; I really can't take that type of attitude. Customer service, man! I'm hesitant to dock Sixteen Tons a star because of this one guy's attitude. The owner has true vision and really caters to his clientele. He has helpful tips (more ties coming in next week!), good suggestions (how about a cool vintage belt for the guy who has everything?) and asks the right questions to really try to understand who you're buying for. He should pass these skills on to his employees!

    Ellicott City, what a charming and wonderful place. A friend recommended that we check out this…read moreplace in our road tripping journey and this place did not disappoint. As I was packing for our East Coast adventure, I was thinking fall weather clothing: boots, beanies, light jackets.....oh but on our last two days, mother nature said NOPE, I am bringing the heat! It was hot and we were slightly dying, as we passed Sweet Elizabeth Jane, not only was their storefront display soooo cute, but we could feel the AC blasting when we passed by. Seriously, this was the reason why we went in. Not knowing what to expect, I was surprised. The store was two floors, but not only did it have the cute souvenirs and Christmas decor that was visible as we passed by, but it had cute clothes and accessories. What a gem of a store....it was boutique plus, plus!!! This store has my heart. It was hard to narrow down my shopping since I had to be mindful that I had a carry on and personal item to travel back home. I couldn't resist and decided to purchase items and just ship them to myself back home. I bought a shawl/jacket in the most wonderful Olive Green color that is perfect for walking and driving in. I also got the softest scarf. Customer service was top notch. I saw this scarf on display on a mannequin and I asked if it came in different colors and they went to go look since I am not a big fan of the browns in my attire choices. I got a gray/black combo scarf. Since we had cooled down significantly as we were shopping, we got hungry and asked if we could place the items on hold since we didn't want to carry our purchases until the end of our exploration and headed back to the car. I gave them my name, they placed the items on hold and we went to eat. When we came back, the store associate remembered my name and that our items were on hold. She also told me that they have a website with many items for sale from their actual sales floor that could be shipped and proceeded to tell me how the store got started. She wrapped the items with care and off we were. Prices are completely reasonable for a store of this caliber. This store could easily fit into the vibe of Stanford Shopping Center, Santana Row, downtown Carmel, etc.....but I KNOW that this place will blow any rivals strictly due to their fair pricing, storefront size and their unique items. Thank you, thank you for existing!! ::hearts::
