At Riptag, we specialize in curated bulk vintage clothing, providing carefully selected collections of vintage and pre-loved clothing. Since we deal with a wide range of styles and conditions, we want to ensure that you're fully informed about what you're receiving. Our aim is to provide you with a well-curated experience, so you know exactly what to expect.

Our Sizing Process

Size Availability:

Since we specialize in bulk vintage, our inventory is constantly changing, and sizes may vary depending on what we have available. If you order a specific size, we will always do our best to fulfill it. However, if the exact size is not available, we will include items that are close in size or the best available option from our collection.

For example, if you order an XL and we do not have an XL in stock, we may provide a mix of sizes (e.g., a Large or XXL) to create a diverse, well-curated bundle that fits the overall style and character of our selection.

Sizing Variability:

Vintage clothing sizing can differ significantly from modern standards. A piece tagged as "XL" from a previous era may fit differently than an "XL" today. We label each item with a "Fits Like" size to give a modern equivalent, but there may still be minor variations due to the unique nature of vintage garments.

What You’ll Receive:

While we aim to match sizes as closely as possible, please understand that our curated bulk vintage bundles will sometimes include different sizes based on availability. This means that even if you order a particular size, the bundle may feature different sizes that are still within the general range of fit.

Why This Happens:

Vintage clothing comes from a wide range of eras and brands, each with its own sizing conventions. Some sizes are simply harder to find or may no longer exist in certain quantities. Our goal is to provide you with the best selection we can offer, which might mean you'll receive a combination of sizes that still align with your overall style preferences.

No Surprises:

We want you to be thrilled with your purchase, but given the nature of bulk vintage, sizes may vary. If you’re looking for something very specific in terms of sizing, we recommend reaching out to us beforehand to see if it’s available. We’ll do our best to accommodate!

Pro Tip:

When in doubt, size up! Vintage cuts tend to run smaller than modern fits.

Condition

Condition of Items (What to Expect at Riptag)

At Riptag, we specialize in curated bulk vintage clothing by the pound. Since these are vintage and pre-loved garments, they will show signs of wear, this is part of their charm.

Expect Variability in Condition

Items can range from gently worn to more distressed. Some may have fading, fraying, mild distressing, stains, or even small holes. It's possible that you may receive items with these imperfections, especially in larger quantities.

Embrace the Character

Stains, holes, and other signs of wear are not flaws; they make each piece unique. While we aim for variety, there may be instances where multiple items show similar wear or imperfections.

What You Get

You’re purchasing a curated bulk collection, so expect a mix of conditions. Some items may show more wear, including noticeable stains or holes, but this is part of the vintage experience.

Authenticity & Care

Authentication

We source our items from trusted vintage suppliers. However, we do not verify the authenticity of branded items. If an item’s authenticity cannot be confirmed, we do not make any claims about it.

Pre-Laundering

None of the items are pre-laundered. We recommend cleaning the garments after opening, especially for delicate or dry-clean-only pieces, as they may require additional care.

Final Inspection

Every bundle is hand-inspected before packing, but please note that if your buy by the pound box is missing a few pounds, that’s normal. We curate based on the available inventory and pack items accordingly. Variations in weight are expected and will not affect the overall value of the bundle. By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept these variations as part of the bulk vintage process. Chargebacks related to discrepancies in weight will not be accepted.
