Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about shopping authentic vintage.
How do you determine the condition of vintage items?
Each piece undergoes a rigorous inspection. We categorize items as 'Mint' (unused), 'Excellent' (minor wear), or 'Good' (visible character). Any specific flaws like pinholes or fading are always noted in the product description.
Are all your products authentic vintage?
Yes, every item at Proper Vintage is a genuine piece from the 1950s through the early 2000s. We do not sell modern reproductions or 'vintage-style' new clothing.
How does vintage sizing work compared to modern brands?
Vintage sizes often run smaller than modern vanity sizing. To ensure a perfect fit, we provide exact measurements in inches for the chest, waist, and length on every product page.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 14-day return window for store credit or exchange. Because vintage items are unique, the item must be returned in the same condition it was received with all Proper Vintage tags attached.
How often do you drop new arrivals?
We curate new collections weekly. Follow our social media channels or subscribe to our newsletter to get early access to our Friday morning drops.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location and the weight of your order.
