American Classics

American Classics has been dealing in American vintage since 1981, when it opened on the Kings Road selling genuine US clothing that was still very much an underground interest in Britain. As original stock grew scarce, the shop shifted towards heritage reproduction and workwear, building the deep, specialist range it's known for today from its Newburgh Street home.

The edit runs squarely through Americana and Japanese denim, with labels like Lee 101, TCB, Whitesville and The Real McCoy's-style repro sitting alongside Levi's Vintage Clothing and Wrangler. There's a strong military and workwear thread too, from Eastman Leather Clothing to Pike Brothers, plus classic American sportswear names such as Pro Keds, G.H. Bass and Ebbets Field Flannels. It's the sort of shop where every rack has a story behind it.
