This Is Where Lil Yachty Has Been Getting His Amazing Vintage Gear

Where: New York City

One of Yachty’s most consistent stops while vintage shopping as of late is First Team Vintage in New York City. The Lower East Side boutique is where Yachty purchased the New York Rangers hockey jersey he wore during his freestyle with the AMP crew, Oakland A’s snapback seen during his On the Radar freestyle, a Paco workwear set that he rocked on stage during his set at Montreal’s Osheaga festival in August, and more. He appears to have even convinced his good pal Drake to do some shopping of his own. The Reggie Miller jersey and T-shirt Drake wore on his way to the Barclays Center back in July came from this shop.

“Yachty has been here a few times. I don’t know how he found out about it though,” says First Team Vintage owner Charlie Wanderer. “Like anyone else, they just see what stuff resonates with them. I'm not surprised because I know that we have nice stuff. No matter who you are, you can come in here and find stuff that you've never seen before.”

Where: Los Angeles

Yachty has been a longtime supporter of Round Two. Most recently, he paid a visit to Round Two Vintage in Los Angeles ahead of an appearance earlier this month on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show. He can be seen wearing a T-shirt that reads “Late Shows Suck,” which spoofs the iconic typeface of Late Night With David Letterman. He reportedly was asked to change the T-shirt before his performance. Days before, he also wore a vintage cycling jersey from the shop while performing on stage at ACL festival in Austin. As far back as 2016, Lil Boat can be seen pulling up to the popular boutique to shop through its curation of rare items including Polo Ball jackets from the ‘90s and retro Supreme Box Logos. A red-haired Yachty even hosted a meet-and-greet at the shop back in 2017. 

“For a fact, I’ve walked in that door more than everybody, second to Sean [Wotherspoon],” Yachty said in a March 2020 installment of his YouTube vlog, The Boat Show. 

Where: Vancouver

At the Vancouver stop of Drake’s It’s All a Blur tour, Yachty walked to the stage with Drizzy wearing a jacket from local vintage dealer F as in Frank. The jacket was an old Viagra Nascar jacket. The infamous sponsorship was worn by driver Mark Martin throughout the 2000s. We’re not sure what Drake or Yachty’s obsession is with the male enhancement pills, but it must be some inside joke because they’ve both worn Viagra jackets in the past year.

Where: Montreal

Lil Yachty isn’t only hunting for vintage clothes. In September, he posted an IG story asking if anyone possessed a 3-foot tall Allen Iverson bobblehead from the 2000s. Montreal-based seller Flipn Thrifn was able to deliver the goods while Yachty was up in Canada touring. As a lifelong Philadelphia Sixers fan, I’m very jealous that I don’t also own one of these, but it’s cool to see that Yachty’s call was answered. The power of the internet.

Where: London

Another spot that Yachty has copped from on his world travels is London’s PastDown. The shop specializes in all of your gorpcore needs, from vintage Arc’teryx and C.P. Company goggle jackets to Nike ACG sneakers. There’s also plenty of old Prada Sport and Stone Island to go around. Based on the shop’s Instagram, Yachty paid them a visit this past July and grabbed some good outerwear.

Where: New York City

Metropolis Vintage is one of the best vintage stores in New York City. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Yachty and Drake paid a visit to the Manhattan-based shop when they were in town for the It’s All a Blur tour. What exactly they bought on the visit is a mystery, but look at all the bags Yachty is carrying. They clearly cashed out.

Where: Atlanta

One of the best new shops in Atlanta is Good Times. Of course, Yachty has pulled up to show support for the hometown business on numerous occasions. Once again, it’s not exactly clear what he’s bought each time, but we do mess with the vintage Bape Baby Milo hoodie he’s wearing in the photo above. 

Where: Sydney

Yachty’s vintage shopping has no boundaries. Sydney’s Storeroom is Yachty’s go-to when he’s down under. The shop has posted a few photos of Yachty over the years, including the one above posing with his massive haul in 2019. While the contents of each is unknown, he filled up two giant duffle bags and a cardboard box with vintage gear to take back stateside that we can only assume was full of some crazy finds. He’s also purchased items like vintage Björk concert T-shirts and “Hai Issey Miyake” bomber jackets from Storeroom. He’s far from the only star to shop there, as it has become a hot spot for acts traveling to Australia. Other visitors have included ASAP Rocky, Rico Nasty, and Billie Eilish.
