Vintage store in Tilburg for men: discover EcoGents

Are you looking for one? vintage shop in Tilburg for men's clothing, then you probably don't want a store where you have to spend hours searching through unsorted racks. EcoGents combines vintage character with the tranquility of a specialized men's store. Everything revolves around men's fashion, clear sizing and clothing that you actually want to wear.

Vintage, but not just vintage

EcoGents sells both vintage and younger second-hand men's clothing. We think that distinction is important. A special jacket that is a few years old can be just as interesting as a shirt that is demonstrably from the 1970s. We therefore select not only on age, but mainly on appearance, quality, fit and wearability.

If an exact date cannot be proven, we do not simply call a garment '70s' or '80s'. For older pieces, we look at labels, cut, collar shape, finish and material indication, among other things. This way we keep the description as factual as possible.

Where is the focus?

EcoGents consciously does not try to be everything to everyone. The strength lies precisely in categories where an adult men's wardrobe really needs depth:

• jackets and blazers
• waistcoats
• second hand shirts and vintage shirts
• suits and trousers
• ties and classic accessories
• leather and suede jackets
• sweaters, spencers and other characterful knitwear

This means that EcoGents is not a general vintage store, but a true specialist in second-hand and vintage men's clothing.

What makes a good vintage shop pleasant to visit?

A beautiful collection is not enough. Second-hand clothing only works well if you can quickly see what is relevant to you. That is why clothing at EcoGents is checked, washed, ironed and sorted by size. So you can go directly to your size and view different styles side by side.

This is especially useful in categories such as jackets and waistcoats, where a small difference in fit makes a big difference. A jacket that has the same size on the label as another jacket may fit very differently in practice.

The gentleman's room of Tilburg

The store on the Westermarkt is decorated like a gentleman's room: wood, Chesterfields, vinyl and a lot of tranquility in the presentation. This is not decor for decor's sake, but is in line with the way we want men to choose clothing: without haste, fit well and combine.

For those who normally find second-hand shopping confusing, this structure is often a relief.

Typical vintage pieces at EcoGents

The range changes continuously, but there are a few categories in which vintage comes into its own. Think of tweed jackets, special waistcoats, leather and suede jackets, classic ties and statement shirts.

Especially 70s shirts show why vintage is interesting: large pointed collars, graphic or floral prints and colors that you see less often in modern collections. Also read our guide identify and wear vintage 70s shirts.

Combine vintage without dressing up

A vintage garment does not necessarily mean a completely retro outfit. Often one strong piece works best. A statement shirt under a calm jacket, a tweed waistcoat on a simple shirt or a leather jacket over modern trousers gives character without becoming a suit.

That is also how we advise in the store: not as much vintage as possible at the same time, but look for the combination that suits the wearer.
