Mick Jackson was sourcing clothing for Queen West West hipster hot spot 69 Vintage when he met Staysail Shedd, who worked the front desk. It was a match made in vintage heaven, and the two went out on their own, taking their expert knowledge of classic military wear and old-school motorcycle leather to eBay. For the past two years, they’ve run Showdown Vintage as a wildly successful on-line shop. Get on their e-mail list for invites to monthly shopping parties.
