Yes! I would try "thrashed, destroyed, worn-in" and do a search both with and without "vintage" in the keywords (and then sort by "pre-owned" if on eBay.) You can also try looking up by brands "vintage carhartt, vintage champion" and then I also notice a lot of people use "skate surf grunge punk" in their listings!
Hope you find the perfect cozy one -- I will warn there are some really, really cool ones out there with terrifyingly high price tags, so sifting by a price max might be best to prevent heartbreak 😅 (I fell in love with a 1960s college one the other day -- $450!!!)
Ugh, the best and worst part about loving vintage and secondhand is the one-of-a-kind aspect! I'll try to feature more size variation (I admittedly spend a lot of time within my own size range!)
Obviously a fan of the hunt and your newsletters always inspire the best ones!! Went down such a rabbit hole of bloomers after the medieval one 🌀 v. into the plaid mohair throw here, my fave color combo
I would buy that ottoman if it wouldn’t be ruined by a cat on day 1. Beautiful treasures!
I feel you - I have plastic on most of my furniture for this same reason 😩
Thank you for reading!
I am a velvet house but that has not been a successful deterrent. 😒😒😒
Incredible, as always
ty bb!! always appreciate your support 💕
Glenn! I have to know if you used "thrashed" in your sweatshirt search? I want one that is beat up and I never know the right term to use.

You brilliant soul! Thank you!
Nothing is worse than seeing an in rebel pair of vintage shoes and then seeing that they’re 3 sizes too small 😩 great selection! Loved it all

I want to go shopping with you! If you’re ever in Victoria, drop me a line and I’ll take you to all my favourite places.💕
That red suede coat is by Bagatelle, and I remember their store from the 80s- I see pieces by them every so often in the shops, very pricey usually.
Fantastic round-up, thank you!
Sheila, don't tempt me with a good time! My sister lives in Seattle so maybe one of these days I'll just adventure my way across the border...!
I love hearing your history/insight with so many of these goodies I come across - thank you for your support!
Ooh, would love to make this happen!💕 No pressure, though (I’m very normal, I promise).
Aw, thank you! I do a lot of research on the things I find and I love sharing it.
