    Favorite local shop for almost anything you need skate-wise. Knowledgeable staff and prime location.

    Love this shop. They have everything my boy needs and a huge selection of Baltimore-centric skate decks, wheels and gear. Take my money!

    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.

    I like this place! The selection is really carefully chosen and the interior decorating is pretty…read moregorgeous. 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 was a cute and curated thrift store. I found some good pieces there like a Chanel scarf, snake…read moreskin purse, a limit from Japan, large belt buckle attachment, some jewelry and some match boxes. I believe the value is good. 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.

    Looking for some vintage vibes....then this is your place! The owner is so sweet and there to…read moreplease! She has pieces in several different sizes, and styles! There is also a handy dandy clearance section as well! There are clothing for men, women and some smaller pieces for children. If you are in need of seeing if an outfit will fit, there is also a fitting room as well. 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!! All in all if you are in the area, I would definitely say stop in!

    I am totally embarrassed that I have visited this place many times over the past few years and…read morenever took the time to review it. 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 parked right in front of Brightside Boutique and realized I had never actually gone in. Curiosity…read moregot the best of me, and I'm glad it did! Brightside Boutique is a lot larger on the inside than it looks to be from the outside. This store has clothing, trinkets, kitchenware, stationery, and more! Every corner has its own vibe/theme. You could spend a while roaming around and checking everything out. The staff members are appropriately masked. I didn't stay for too long when I popped in because I felt uncomfortable with how busy it was getting. However, I'm sure I'll be back around Galentine's Day to pick up some cute gifts for my gals or during a Saturday to support this small business!
