Black Shag Vintage

The pricing structure seems rather high. The customer service experience was quite unsatisfactory; specifically, there was a lack of informed responses concerning product maintenance, along with unprofessional behavior from the staff. This initial experience has led to the decision to cease patronage. I trust this feedback is useful.

I will start by saying we bought two reasonably priced items. The place is amazing with a huge selection of vintage shirts and items. The owner was very helpful when looking for items. I love the building and everything inside. That being said, there are some expensive items that I would never buy, but that's my prerogative. It's supply and demand guys. If they have a rare piece and you want it, you have to pay. Sure, you MIGHT find it at Goodwill or a yard sale if you happen to see it, but not everyone has time for that or the luck (or desire) to find it. I can fix my car, but some people won't or can't, so they have to pay for the service... it's business.

Selection was cool. Quite a bit of vinyls and T shirts but very very expensive. Like $250 for a worn Boys 2 Men concert T shirt. Saw another T for $1500. Maybe I just don’t appreciate the items enough to warrant that pricing. Idk how they turn anything.

Loved this place! One of the most aesthetically pleasing vintage stores I have ever been too! The staff was super nice. I picked up one thing, personally most items were out of my price range. If i ever come back to Nashville, I will be back!

Arguably the most impressive collection of vintage concert tees in rock, blues, country, and then some - that I've ever seen. The finder's fee seems justified. Idk what all the hate is about. If it's valuable enough to you, then it's worth it

This store is very unique and highly curator, the experience you get is full vintage vibe meets cool Nashville history. Many people I'm sure will say it is pricey, but it is not pricer than most fabulous vintage shops in big cities like NY or LA. They also have a really great instagram and keep it updated so you know what to expect when you arrive. I liked the variety of the items and walked away with the absolute coolest Muppets coffee cup. I will surely be back and recommend to shoppers who are serious about vintage clothing and collectibles.

Absolutely loved this shop so much! I spent about an hour deciding on this $400 Sex Pistols shirt… however I couldn’t leave it behind and I’m so glad I didn’t! It’s one of a kind! I also got some cool bracelets and a hat and the owner was soooo sweet and cool! I can’t wait to go back to Nashville and shop here again!

It’s funny this came up as a sponsored google search for “thrift store near me.” One look around and it is clear this is a vintage/antique shop. It’s very very expensive too, which I guess after finding out it’s dedicated to rare music history items makes sense. I’m just curious about the business model and where they source their items, cuz man are the prices steep. I feel scammed just looking around. Very cool place and the items are well curated. Spend your money how you will.

really cool spot with unique pieces (clothing) and other things. Got some records there, the people were helpful. Will come back when I'm looking for novelty stuff, super cool

This store is awesome! I stopped because the mural next door has my name in it. I took a couple photos and decided to pop in here on a whim. I had a really great conversation with Tommy the owner about music and his shop! The store has every rock band you can possibly think of on its walls and racks. I loved checking out this place and can't wait to come back next time I'm in town! I bought a pinky ring for $25 and picked up a matchbook and a sticker. Thanks Tommy!

We really enjoyed looking around in here and we found some cool things, but they were all way too expensive for OUR budget. Just because something is too expensive for your personal budget doesn't mean it's overpriced. However, $100 for a band tshirt, that I just purchased at a thrift store back home in po-dunk Alabama for $3, is too much for me. Nonetheless, we still stop here every time we come to Nashville. Just walking through the shop gives me an amazing hit of Dopamine and Serotonin that makes my ADHD heart happy and full. My husband did find some great vinyl records on this trip though and they were a great price. We did experience the alleged "following," but we did not interpret it that way or in any negative way. It just seemed like the employees wanted to make themselves available in each room in case we had questions about the merchandise. People seem to just need something to complain about these days. We will continue to stop in here and enjoy all the vintage music goodness and leave happy!

Every time we're in Nashville, we can't help popping in here to browse. We love looking through the albums. The rest of the store is stocked with vintage clothing, including some rare band and concert t-shirts. A person can get lost in all the jeans, jackets, shirts and shoes. I don't go into a store like this expecting low prices. True vintage items don't come cheap. That being said, there are some more affordable choices. If you like one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, it's worth a visit, even if it's just to browse.

Amazing store with incredible vintage selection and amazing customer service. Tommy and his team have curated the best vintage items in Nashville

The staff are super friendly and helpful. They have an amazing selection of vintage products. Found my perfect boots!!

The prices are INSANE. I'll pay money for valuable items but I found multiple shirts that were literally someone's old work shirt from a random mechanic for $100. I guarantee these items are thrifted for super cheap and then they slap a $100 price tag on them. We ended up walking out after 5 mins and heading to Salvation Army and found some great items!

Knowledgeable staff. Gorgeous vintage clothing. Vinyl records collection. Thank you, Emily, for helping me find a Bowie album.

I honestly just wish I was rich. If I were I'd walk out of this place every time with so many dope shirts and hats. Even if you're on a budget you can find some cool accessories here. It's all curated through the lens of the music industry and that culture. Like if an ultra cool record store sold clothes. Which by the way - they also sell records!! Owner seems awesome (and the shop has his platinum records up). Give it a visit!!

Best vintage shop in Nashville. Awesome service and collection. Give these them a visit!

Price gouging, was in Nashville visiting a close friend and we went to see this store, although Tommy here will likely shout "fake" because he is incapable of taking criticism. This is gentrification to the nth degree, and it's funny to see someone charging 400 dollars for a T-shirt that other vintage stores would charge about 20 for. Update: Tommy literally proved me right and shouted fake review. This is what going on an ego trip looks, like folks. He even has the audacity to claim that I wasn't there in February despite me living fairly close to Tennessee, considering I'm in Kentucky. I went to a vintage store in Lexington that had some of the same stuff for a 1/10 of the price.

Super sick curated Americana/rock vibe, but I've never been able to actually make a purchase here because everything is so damn expensive. Leave some for the little folks!!! Please!!

WOW. Absolutely insanely priced. I understand rare finds, but most tee shirts range between $90-$600. If you've got a no limit budget (which is out there, more power to you) then this is your spot

I love this place. They've got great stuff and it's really worth popping in, especially if you're a collector and know about vintage. I wish I could buy everything. The staff was super nice and helpful. I got some sick 70s jeans for a good deal. We'll definitely be back!

dropped by to check this place out while i was in town, such a cool shop!! lots of unique finds, and the owner is so nice! came away with a cute purse and some sick sunnies. will definitely be back in the future! big recommend

Awesome vintage western clothes for men and women. Bought a pair of cowboy boots at a good price. Cool vibe/decor

Stopped in here hoping to find a cool band t-shirt. What I found was most shirts (even for bands who are still active and touring) north of $100, many of which had holes. I even saw one for $600. For a t-shirt! The store smelled old and musty. I'm willing to drop some money for cool clothes, but hundreds for a shirt with holes that you can find new at another store for $30 is not a logical or sustainable business model.

If you wanna spend 800 on a 2pac tee go here everything is overprice lol and the owner deleted my first review

Don't waste your time here owner/guy manager is rude and has a huge ego. Shop girls are friendly and helpful tho! Super curated shop but prices are double the actual value. If you can wait just order online vs wasting money here. Such a shame because they have potential of being best vintage shop in town but greed/ego has taken over!

Cool aesthetic shop. But doubt anyone not making 6 figures can get something besides some generic records. Old tshirts are 150$+. Yet the place still tries to justify it? Worth a stop just to look. But yeah y'all need a reality check lol.

If you want to pay 200$ for a Kmart band shirt that's been used go to this place! Majority of the things here is just cheap and stale. Musty shop, so mask up because it stinks in there. Also be sure not to socialize with staff, they are self indulgent. Literally you can find the same pieces that are new in another shop.

My dad recently passed and my favorite memory was of him taking me to my first concert at age 12. So I hunted down the t shirt from that concert, Poison Flesh and Blood tour. I was delighted when it arrived today and even more that the owner took the time to send a hand written thank you card and sticker. Those little touches go A LONG way! Thank you Tommy!!!

You know this place is a 5 for those looking for true authentic vintage! I'm more of a thrift store guy so hard to be fair. If you're looking for fantastic vintage music, t shirts, vinyl, leather, etc you absolutely need to look here first. They're experts. Bring your wallet. This is not a junk store but you get what you pay for.

If you have an endless supply of disposable income this store has an amazing curation of band shirts. Definitely impressive collection. Overpriced yes. I've been popping in for years whenever I'm in Nashville and I don't remember them being quite this expensive as the last the couple times I've been in. I would often pick up a couple of things but now a couple years later, I just can't justify the prices. Also of the owner Tommy is in, it's great, he's friendly and knowledgeable. If he's gone and you get one of his shop girls, it can be hit or miss. Some of them are sweet and helpful but other make you feel like you're inconveniencing them for asking a question. They seem to be preoccupied with internet posts. If I would've left this review 5 years ago I would've given 5 stars.

Now well known for super rare concert tees and great vintage pieces! Stylists and costumers for film and other media know they can find what they are looking for at BSV. The shop is well organized and the employees are friendly and very knowledgeable. The pricing, especially for rare items is based on worldwide market value and might surprise you but collectors know what they are looking for. Prices seem to range from $10 up and unless noted, are in very good condition. An excellent pair of boyfriend jeans nicely broken in was only $25! All in all, a trip to black shag vintage is well worth it if you like rock and roll vintage and looking at wonderful and interesting items. Also, they have a great selection of vinyl!

Are you a vintage band t-shirt collector? Do you have +$100 to spend on a band t-shirt? If yes, send me a message so we can visit Black Shag Vintage again together. If you're wondering why the review is 4/5 when all of the COTTON T-SHIRTS ARE OVER ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS it's because the rest of their stock is reasonably priced and reasonably cute. I bought a pair of vintage denim shorts at an affordable price (think Urban Outfitters but less like you're still in high school) and a vintage belt. Looking to head back over to ignore the racks and racks of collectible ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR T-SHIRTS to buy more high-quality denim, jackets, and jewelry at a reasonable price-point.

Great selection of just about everything, but definitely out of my price range. I was happy just to be in there and look around. While I do love vintage gear and accessories, I would be more inclined to go picking myself for that type of stuff. Plus, paying $100+ for a T-shirt is not something that coincides with my values as a human. I do appreciate their selection though, and being a vintage picker myself, I know how much time and effort that probably went into making Black Shag possible. All that being said, I am not the demographic of a store like this. The staff was extremely friendly and let me look around without feeling pressured to purchase anything, which was nice. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend you check them out. Who knows, you might find the value in purchasing something for your collection here, for me though, I will stick with picking from salvation army, and goodwill.

This place is a gem. Best vintage in Nashville hands down. This is rare, well curated vintage. If you want to go thrifting, try goodwill. If you want amazing one of a kind vintage clothing, jewelry etc...get your ass to BLACK SHAG VINTAGE

Tommy & the crew are great...and the finds there are unique & amazing. HIGHLY recommend buying lots of stuff there

Definitely worth a visit. Many interesting and unique items....could spend hours browsing. Everything was arranged in a neat, organized fashion. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.

I love this store! I even shop there unlike some of the posters I've seen here. There are some shirts it the shop are absolutely drool worthy and in some cases extremely rare! If you don't want to pay for something Original, perhaps Hot Topic may be a better fit (nothing wrong with that btw). This is not a Thrift store, they already did that part. Now you have a curated collection of Vintage Clothes, Jewelry, Records and a great aesthetic to go with it. I think if you actually walked into the store and met the owner and staff, you would think differently. They are kind and quite knowledgeable. I've also seen posts about bootleg or parking lot tees as well. In most cases they can actually carry quite a bit more value. Well I'm going to continue to buy the things I can't find myself. (Like my killer Vintage Denim Jacket Finding a Denim jacket that fits and has the exact look you want is a hard thing to find. I found one there after 20 years of looking. I also paid way less than most places. So all in all Black Shag gets 5 stars from this Vintage buyer (not thrifter)

Walked in this place today...!!! WOW...!!! Walked out with a new fit n style. Jess was rad, showed me the shop and me feel comfortable... Tommy made me feel like a local... Ill be back and thats a threat....

They've got a great selection, but not a Tall Guy selection. They do have quite a few 2x and 3x but no talls. If you're average size this place can make you look like a rock star!

I don't know the owner, I just briefly met him while I was there shopping, but Black Shag is the coolest store I've ever been in. And I've been a rock fan, a musician, a small business owner, and an antiques dealer here in Atlanta for over 25 years. You cannot underestimate the amount of time and effort that it takes to accumulate and stage a collection like this. Some of these haters on here, I don't understand it. If you want to spend dozens of hours going through the racks at Goodwill stores for a million-to-one chance of finding an old concert shirt for $3, go right ahead (I have). He had to go out there and find this stuff. No easy task. It didn't just magically appear in his racks. This place is a celebration of rock n roll, and while I'm not a $200 t-shirt kind of guy, I thoroughly enjoyed his store so much that while I was in town, I went two days in a row. I intentionally bought some vinyl from him to buy just to put a couple of dollars in his pocket and support what he's doing. America used to have tons of Moms and Pops like this. Now every city in America looks the same- the same old corporate stores everywhere. Not that I don't shop at those too, but it's places like this that made/make America great. Most of you people throwing shade on this guy probably think nothing about going to a Target or a mall store and throwing down $200 (on junk). My only advice for the owner is, stop giving these people any attention. They obviously don't know anything about business. Supply and demand dictates price points. If you don't like the $250 price tag on the old Ozzy shirt, don't worry about it. The price will eventually drop if it's overpriced. Otherwise, visit, enjoy browsing, and if it's not for you, move on. When that shirt's not there the next time you come in, that's probably because somebody bought it. If he's been there for 3 years, I guarantee you his rent has probably doubled since he moved in over there. If it hasn't, it certainly will when his lease is up. His labor costs have doubled in that time frame too. If you want businesses like these to exist, you have to be intentional about supporting them. Being in business is tough. It's not as glamorous, or as easy as some of you think.

If you're visiting Nashville, definitely come here first before you do any shopping on Broadway. I picked up a pair of vintage, ox blood steel toe cowboy boots that would have been 3x the price elsewhere. They also have a large selection of vintage leather jackets in many styles, funky hats and rock records at very reasonable prices. Stop by - you won't be disappointed and will very likely find a treasure! Impressed by the very well edited selection.

Yes it is expensive, but omg it's def an experience. I like how authentic the clothes and accessories are. The staff was very helpful. I found a few boots that I liked but they where all small size but it's ok I got a belt ^_^

Literally the best vintage shopping! Dixie is the coolest dude and played great music. Even introduced us to an album we had never heard. This will be a must stop on every Nashville trip!

Amazing had things I would have never dreamed if seeing in real life great selection cool staff well organized a must visit

Love this place! Nashville rock vintage style! Take your friends and check out the ok school and hip LA vibes and throw backs!! Tommy is so cool the owner! Very friendly!

This store in theory is cute and has really cute vintage stuff if you're willing to pay 200$ for a guns and roses t shirt when you can find it literally anywhere else for cheaper. This was the first time I'd been here because we were visiting nashville by the way so i'm not sure if this is a common issue or not but it was hard to even enjoy when you're being followed the entire time by the short blonde girl that works there in the train hat and looked at like a criminal for literally NO REASON at all. She literally stood behind me and stared at me while i just looked through t shirts until it made me so uncomfortable i had to leave so yeah, everyone else that worked there seemed nice tho!

This place is dope I was visiting a friend and ended up finding this place and got a couple shirts really cool store an a great vibe

Loved this spot! As some have already pointed out, it is a pretty penny to shop here. They have a fantastic selection though! In particular I loooooooved the turquoise rings. Some were vintage others a bit newer but all super pretty. If you're a pin collector or patch collector they also have a bunch of great cheeky options. Definitely recommend and will be coming back for a treat yo'self date with myself .

If I could give zero stars I would. I had read the reviews of the store prior to going!! Wish I hadn't made the trip there. Firstly the lady who works there is so rude, I literally sneezed and she said I had to leave the store!! Are you joking!! I have never in my life been treated or been spoke to this way!! Avoid at all costs! You don't treat customers this way and if you do you won't have any costumers or business left!! With the climate the way it is you should treat people kindly. I am leaving here shocked and extremely disappointed.

Very, very cool. The business owner was personal and easy to talk to. Very sweet rock n roll memorabilia including records, t shirts, pins and patches. He had great clothes and collectibles. Really would recommend checking it out! Next time we head thru Nashville I'm for sure coming back.

Terribly overpriced. Charging insane prices for "vintage" pieces, and the owner picks petty fights on this app with anyone that calls him out on it. These type of "curated vintage" stores need to be avoided. Do not go here.

Tommy is such an awesome guy! He has tons of really cool vintage finds at multiple locations in Nashville. Items from as low as $5 up to a few hundred. My boyfriend and I got a few really cool items that we love. I would totally recommend stopping by his store to anyone:)

Great store! Visited over the weekend and picked up some cool and rare biking patches and a belt buckle. The owner Tommy is really nice and it's a great space.

I FINALLY made it into Black Shag Vintage and I am so glad that I did. There is nothing that I love more than awesome belt-buckles, old (authentic) band t-shirts, boots, and trucker hats. They had it all!! Tommy is super cool and it's so awesome to have a great vintage store in an amazingly vintage building...I will be back for t-shirts and belt buckles. Until then, I will be rocking my 1983 Fan Fair button with country music pride!!!

What a store. Really well curated, with not only amazing finds, but also some really rare ones. Tommy and Kate are both awesome and very helpful. I picked up two jackets and my gf scored a very cool Springsteen T and some other stuff. This will definitely be a regular stop when I'm in town.
