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!

This is a high class fashion second hand shop that offers many pieces never worn before! I recommend anyone that has thought about buying designer fashion to stop here before.

Second version that opened in Hampden recently (the one on Read St. has been around for more than a…read moreminute). A quiet, little shop that I wish had even more men's shirts and other clothing. Also has fresh (new) house and personal accessories. However, new clothing comes in/rotates quite often. I've been here twice and picked up long-sleeved pearl-button jean Wrangler and pineapple shirts; a Hawaiian short-sleeve Pierre Cardin shirt from the 60s-70s; and and a tan 80s sweater collar puffer vest (as the employee said, "It's back to the future"). Great place, great vintage. Worth the price!

I was refunded my money and after an email exchange I was told I could be placed on a back order list for the socks and so I was recharged in April. I waited awhile but due to me being overseas I had to get my mom to contact the store after my emails had been ignored. She called and called and went around in circles with them. I emailed in OCTOBER questioning about the shipment and when they responded with they no longer carried that item I simply responded with a request for my money back. When they never delivered, here I am in March of 2021 a year after my original order requesting once again for my money to be returned because it still has not.

I probably came out spending $160 or so. I bought quite a few things that could be signature pieces. I think it will depend on your style. A lot of items I can see being more 70s or 80s. Retro throw back, coming of age movie type vibes. We spend a lot of time there because of the vibe as well as just looking through a bunch to find what we could. For plus size I wouldn't say there was a lot but I like accessories and other things so I still found it worth while. Because the clothing is more vintage sizing can be different but anyone who thrifts kinda knows that. I thigh the cashier was nice. Saw some regulars that she was friendly with.

The owner was so sweet she even DMed me some photos of the purses I was interested in that she had at her home that was the style I wanted. Truly going the extra mile for the customer!!

Initially, they weren't on Yelp and I was too lazy to put them on. Then I noticed they were added and just kept forgetting to review over and over and over again. Well I must admit, throughout the years of me shopping here and forgetting to review, this place has been consistent w great customer service and has an awesome variety of items. I love the table when you 1st walk in the establishment! There's always several things on there that catch my eye that I want! It just gives you a preview of what you're about to see as you continue to walk towards the back of the store. You much be open minded and have a great sense of humor for the items in there. They have jewelry, mugs, books, greeting cards, clothes, scents, etc. I look forward to continuing to support this cutesy establishment for many more years to come.

I didn't stay for too long when I popped in because I felt uncomfortable with how busy it was getting.
