F as in Frank

Fun, vintage threads for guys 'n' dolls
Noteworthy for: F as in Frank holds a fill-a-bag sale in the alley behind the shop several times each year. Post-event, remaining threads are donated to Vancouver's homeless.

Word to the wise: Swap your own vintage clothes for cash or store credit on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from 2pm - 6pm.
Vintage stores can be so highbrow (not to mention expensive) these days, the opportunity to locate cheap and cheerful retro goodies among the racks is diminishing. Fortunately, the folks at F as in Frank still believe vintage shopping should be fun, and offer an eclectic inventory of quirky garments that push the boundaries of acceptable fashion - from retro onesies to 90s grunge tees, fringed leather jackets to reconstructed denim.

Sunglasses, boots, jewellery and the occasional designer item are also on offer at reasonable prices. Canadians are big on 'ugly Christmas sweater' parties; if you've been invited to one, get your outfit here.
