Designer, collector, and the proprietor of Crowley Vintage in Brooklyn, Sean curates vintage Anglo-American menswear with a careful eye and an appreciation for eccentricity
Crowley Vintage doesn’t feel like a vintage store so much as it does the overflowing living room of someone with impeccable taste (and a maximalist eye for decorating), where the closet just so happens to have spilled out onto every available surface.You’ll find a cascade of silk and wool neckties splayed around vintage accent tables and stacks of shawl cardigans and letterman sweaters. Rack after rack of hand-tailored two-pieces from bygone generations of Savile Row. English academic scarves, striped rowing blazers, country raincoats, well-loved leather luggage, and tweed of every type. It all, miraculously, fits into a small storefront in Brooklyn, just under the Manhattan Bridge, where Sean Crowley has turned his penchant for collecting and uncompromising eye for vintage English and American clothing into a cozy and immersive vintage store that’s overwhelming in the best way possible.
