Ralph Lauren's researchers are big spenders to get into their warehouse to study.

the rest of us can dream:

I am under the impression that anyone can get in to buy stuff (if on sale), but the prices are minimum 4 times the normal prices in vintage showroom. (this according to off the cuff statements of un-named member of staff).

Interestingly Vintage Showroom used to do the markets, and the prices were minimum 4 times less than the prices in the store.

They have the best stuff in London. Bar none.

There is another "The Vintage Showroom" book coming out, or out, too. It's called "The Showroom", I think, and in softcover. Has a picture of a buffalo on the front.

hmm. looks like an attempt at an overpriced 'art' magazine:

Guess who he keeps telling to write it?

Happy to put down money to reserve a copy

Looks like a waste of time as well as money.

I got the "Vintage Menswear from the Vintage Showroom" book now. It's not all bad but you really need to be interested in sports- and workwear. For suits it is pretty poor. One or two tweed suits and a few boating blazers. The texts are not very deep but somewhat interesting. More like anectdotes than details about the displayed items.
