Public Comments

1. Because nobody would want "Antique" clothes.
2. who cares?
3. Vintage clothing refers to clothing that is from 1920-1990's, anything before that is considered antique clothing.
4. It's just another way of saying the same thing. I've seen furniture called vintage before, too, though.
