@DefensisIndus yes the owners are white and it's in America obviously lol but I'm tryna give a history lesson on this great store, it's the last original clothing store for a reason, Hollywood also has gotten clothes here for some classic movies like the sandlot and la bamba amongst many others, Ice cube also used to shop there before he was famous
As a collector of Pendleton shirts and blankets I’m going to have to make my way down there. I usually make a pilgrimage to the factory store in Oregon every year, but that’s all current stock. I’d LOVE to get my hands on some mid-60s stock.
@@MoreThanAMuppet I love Pendleton as well and I can say they do carry a bit of everything you'll see hope you get the chance to go down there in South gate
Apparently he only foams at the mouth when its white dudes from old movies and pics that he thinks the shit is fashionable. Things like ben davis only become cool when its another white man wearing them and finding out about them for the first time. Kendrick said it best they not like us
That shop looks fantastic! The bottom of that pile must be amazing, hope there might be a point where someone (hopefully you) is able to uncover what grails are hiding there.
That ish had me weak😂. This the first video I’ve seen of him and I live like 40 min from this store imma give him a follow. But ya would’ve been nice he he showed some representation for the raza but he probably just didn’t wanna be even the slightly bit controversial
This is the shit I live for. I used to pick clothes for a vintage store here in Colorado and they’d send me to LA to look through rag houses but I would’ve came here if I knew it existed!! Love old clothes hahaha
This is awesome I would love to get up there in that room full.of gems 😊❤ thanks for sharing this hopefully they get some more shoppers and they can get to some of that stock back there ❤😊
First time HERE, now I can't stop dreaming about these ***** collect. I hope to come there by June 2025 my birthday day is 06/22/1958. So, where can I stay for a weekend since it'll be more then a day until I'm wore out looking for the gems of gems. P.S. I appreciate your time and video hosting on "B. D. ".
What a great video, Albert. Awesome production and editing. Please let me know where I can submit to be the star of your Queer Eye-esque makeover video.
YES this is the edgy Albert long form content I’m here for. You should do this kind of exploration video at Jet Rag in Weho and Iguana Vintage Clothing in Sherman Oaks.
I wear a 42 waist, see i give up a lot on vintage stores as its rare they carry sizes that big. Seeing this store makes me want to run to it but I am over the pond sadly. Great video
Remember wearing these clothes back when we ran the streets with not much money, and now it definitely isn't for that anymore. Prices are up there for "gang attire" 😂
That would be so awesome I'm not really into Ben Davis but am into clothes and shoes heavy so I feel your excitement I would love to look into a store of my liking back stock from the 80's hopefully they hooked you up with clothes you should help the guy sell it at vintage stores
I actually live a few blocks down from this store. It’s been around since I could remember a lot of the neighborhood skaters would purchase their clothes from this location.
It kind of blows my mind that a business could have so much inventory, but I get that there isn't the time to sort through the ultra back stock. The stuff they have organized though I'm kind of shocked they can have stored for I imagine quite a long time.
I'm sure it goes beyond not having enough time. Most mom-and-pop businesses aren't about becoming millionaires, it's about making a decent living. I've seen too many greedy resellers that will step all over people just to be on top.
After living in Japan for 3 years it Just proves my theory that Asians don’t sweat. Danny is cool and Albert is drenched haha. Great video and you could honestly do a series on this store.
The brands and store been around for as long as they have because of the latino and black "sub cultures" you didnt have the balls to acknowledge directly. You nepo baby hipsters would squeeze them dry and just pimp these cultures just because you can. They dont need yall nor do they want all their stock gone just because you hipsters think its cool for a season or two. Nice try with the "the family owned going out of business" angle tho @@edgyalbert
@@edgyalbert Hey, they can have the new stock. If it were all about the money, they would have already sold it decades ago and you wouldn't have any of it.
As a fluffy Mexican currently losing weight (cur. 229, b4 252) I love vintage pants except they make me look like Danny Davido trying to impersonate Al Capone and Jack black in 1. If anyone knows any good vintage jeans that don’t make my thin calf’s look like a freaking transformer leg, please share, thanks
Drove and walked by here for decades and never noticed this place. My aunt used to live across and down the street on Elizibeth, maybe 500 feet from the store. The cholo subculture is big in Los Angeles and I'm not into that at all but I'm surprised that I never heard of this place considering so many people wear/cosplay these clothes. Maybe my cousins mentioned it and forgot but I like that you can wear these clothes beyond the cholo culture. I wouldn't mind wearing these clothes and shirts as long as I didn't look like a gangster, like how the host is wearing his favorite pants but despite using Ben Davis he styles himself pretty fresh and without any gangster vibes. Classic old school without all the gangster subculture nonsense.
Holy shit. I know 11k subscribers is nothing to sneeze at but this is one instance where I'm glad you don't have like a million people following your youtube channel. I hope South Gate is ready for an influx of vintage fabric nerds
Southgate is so big in retrospect it won’t be out of the ordinary as LA has very unique styles I don’t think you’ll see anywhere else in the world. A mix of cowboy, vintage, postmodern, midwestern, streetwear, 90s punk, ska button up, anything you can think of etc.
I’ve never been to California, I’m from the PNW, but even up here Ben Davis & Pendleton have been the staple since the dawn of man; that being said I’ve heard so much about Greenspan’s since I was a literal child, and this video is the only one to ever do them the justice of exhibiting just how quintessential they are in the grander scheme of things 🍻🫡🐐🔥

This is why Albert is in a league of his own, his passion for the history and details is infectious and informative
Bot
Cholos have been going ther forever there the ones who kept that store alive ive gotten stuff from there its pricey but 100% worth it
The original gangster sh*t
@@tripmcneely6519 Fr it really was tho and a big reason the store has been able to keep its doors open cause those where there main customers
Cholos yes, but the companies are American founded

its sad to see all these white bisexual males raising up the prices
This may be one of the coolest vintage clothings videos I've watched. Kudos Albert
Please albert make more videos like this. I love it!
I would love nothing more, we just gotta make enough ad revenue to pay the team lol

Mexicans have been styling workwear forever. Been going to Greenspans since the 90s when they created the first black county jackets. 🙏🏼
Yes, but not Mexican companies, the founders are 100% Californian
@@DefensisIndus This is an extremely weird thing to be commenting on every comment you see mentioning Mexicans.
@snailcage It was Like 2 comments 🙄 I just checked. Why you punching the air so much? 😂
Make diving into greenspans a series on your channel I am begging. This is a gold mine.
Never seen a video about apparel hunting like that - quite enjoyable. Intriguing enough that it requires a sequel, a deep dig 2.
More long form content like this PLEASE great work bro!
these recent uploads have all been incredible, but this is a new peak in content and production, lovely stuff!
Having lived through the 90s vintage craze, to see something like this around today is mind blowing.
Greenspan's is about to have a merry Christmas
This was such a fun video! It truly is like American Pickers but with vintage clothing. Keep up the good work.
These videos just keep getting better and better Albert!
Father in law, lived down on Tweedy Blvd. a few blocks. Worked there as his first job. Rolling up on 80 yrs soon.
Love the video - I know it’s a pain in the butt to make these but we truly appreciate your work!!!
Absolutely fantastic video Albert, definitely wanting to go to Greenspan’s even more now! Please keep it up!
Greenspans is OG gotta respect the hustle
need you to say chicano / mexican my bro, these brands have remained afloat because our communities have supported them for decades
YES !!!🤍🤍🤍
You mean Messicans
Apparently he only foams at the mouth when its white dudes from old movies and pics that he thinks the shit is fashionable. Things like ben davis only become cool when its another white man wearing them and finding out about them for the first time. Kendrick said it best they not like us
Yuuuup exactly it’s been a part of the vario cultura for YEARS… now rich hipsters are playing cosplay
Facts
Man, I wish we had more stores like Greenspans again.
Oh no there about to gentrify one of the last clothing stores left for chicanos😢
Keep the RUclips content coming always enjoyed your short form stuff on insta. Insightful, funny and super informative. Keep it coming cutie x
Great vid, would love to see a follow up to this story. Hope to check the store out soon!
How come they don't have a once a year blow out sale? Just to free up some space, To make room for stockpile vintage.
Almost wanna fly over to California just to go to Greenspans
Amazing video Albert!!
That shop looks fantastic! The bottom of that pile must be amazing, hope there might be a point where someone (hopefully you) is able to uncover what grails are hiding there.
Once I heard they had orange tab 517s I’m booking my damn flight
My favorite jeans that I thrifted ever and they were only like 13 bucks
When human have gone extinct, Levi’s will be the only artifacts left of us
leave it alone pls
Amazing Albert, Added to my list to visit in LA
“Subcultures” - bro, it’s ok to say Mexican. 😂
That ish had me weak😂. This the first video I’ve seen of him and I live like 40 min from this store imma give him a follow. But ya would’ve been nice he he showed some representation for the raza but he probably just didn’t wanna be even the slightly bit controversial
He was referring to the Cholo/Chola subculture. He wasn't talking about Mexicans in general. OK, vato loco?
Lmfao
Please do another video of what else is in there 😮 this is so so cool
this is actually such a dope video! haven't seen a good fashion video in a while till now👏👏👏👏
Did you see any Anchor Blue pieces there?

Reminds me of spelunking. Used to call deadstock virgin vintage. So what were some of the prices on the vintage that were available for sale in store?
FYI they have paused all deadstock sales- speak to the boss and he can add you to a contact list. But no vintage for sale if you go today
Good. Gotta respect the clothing. Too many jerks out there with zero respect. I've seen it in my resale business.
Hipsters.... Oh man there goes the neighborhood.
What a great video, Albert. Awesome production and editing. Please let me know where I can submit to be the star of your Queer Eye-esque makeover video.
You’ll be at 1 million subs this time next year.
What’s pricing like??? Didn’t really touch on any prices of anything !!! Like are the clothes good will pricing or Bloomingdale’s pricing ?
It's a retail store, so it's probably closer to Bloomingdale's
Ordered a pair of Ben Davis from here all the way to Ireland. A great store with great service and a hell of a nice staff

absolutely amazing content, thank you 🖤
That looks insane! Great video
Banger of a video! Also brother, are those Nike Bruins???
Incredible video.
Bro what do you mean it’s hard to find Ben Davis pants in stock? The website has like the whole stock and they sell them all over Amazon.
This was fascinating. Definitely would love to see parts 2,3,4, etc.
I wear a 42 waist, see i give up a lot on vintage stores as its rare they carry sizes that big. Seeing this store makes me want to run to it but I am over the pond sadly. Great video
I bet they would mail it to you!
You (and I mean WE) need a show where you road trip the country looking for grails
Yes. The Anthony Bourdain of menswear.
Remember wearing these clothes back when we ran the streets with not much money, and now it definitely isn't for that anymore. Prices are up there for "gang attire" 😂
Insane work Albert
That would be so awesome I'm not really into Ben Davis but am into clothes and shoes heavy so I feel your excitement I would love to look into a store of my liking back stock from the 80's hopefully they hooked you up with clothes you should help the guy sell it at vintage stores
Bless you, Legend, I hope to make the trek someday
It's a time machine store! Wow!
I live in Ventura County and I will definitely be heading down to this spot!
Leaving the comment, just to support your channel
You should come back to look further and bring with you the propper gear and enought crew to back you up.
I actually live a few blocks down from this store. It’s been around since I could remember a lot of the neighborhood skaters would purchase their clothes from this location.
back in the 90's Ben Davis was my daily uniform/ fashion choice
This was a beautiful video. I wish I could pop down there for some denim
I didn’t think these kind of stores existed anymore, it’s a wonder some big retailers haven’t bought out their stock.
Retailers selling vintage?
I have a friend who works for them and he told me they are constantly finding new old stock 😮
incredible vid a part 2 here is necessary
This is wild
Does anyone know what button up shirt he is wearing over his shirt?
Thats a very rad awesome cool mahvelous store.
I’m going to LA in a month, will everything be gone by then??
The vintage is not necessarily up for sale currently, maybe if you are cool and ask nicely they will help you
Hope this video helps sell a ton and let them install AC. Are they going to wholesale out the stash behind the wall?
Why should they wholesale it? What, to some greedy resellers?
@ so they may get the AC they need
@@TermaMary Did the store owners complain about the climate control?
Great video, making me feel even worse about living in the UK.
What are the second pair of paints you’re wearing?
Wearing cargo pants from AYR
just asking because how he was saying it I feel like you might have this stuff does he have like vintage Y2K 20s Skater Boy Gothic anything there bro
Amazing!

Man you have a Moonphase Jarger LeCoulture on????
Why am I so worried for the clothes in that attic 😬
Actually cool to see such collections stay untouched.
Live down the block from here , it’s a staple .
are you wearing the gorilla cut or trim fit in this video? love from ATL
the regular fit - which is in between the two you mentioned
It is Crazy to see a fashion episode about Ben Davis and cholo attire 💪🏽🏆 it makes me proud
After living in Japan for 3 years it Just proves my theory that Asians don’t sweat. Danny is cool and Albert is drenched haha. Great video and you could honestly do a series on this store.

great job gate keeping. blew up the spot man
Why hoard it all like that? I'm confused why it's not being sold.
Why haven't they opened all those boxes?? 🤯
The hat sets it off!
They need to unpack, clean, and organize all the boxes of deadstock. Rats are already getting to the stash😖
Good stuff Albert.
