As for your wiki quote, well it only supports my statement How do you suppose one would recognize clothing from a different era if it's not "highly stylized?". Items devoid of style are impossible to classify. Further, pre-20th century clothing qualifies as antique, so it's no longer vintage. Finally, with regards to price, I was speaking relative to new and antique prices. Cheers.  |
So MC Hammer Pants would be Vintage because they are highly stylized, but a pair of simple James Dean styled Jeans would not be?
