Back in 2018, published a cool book called, “My Favorite Vintage,” featuring a bunch of vintage store owners, collectors, dealers and people from the international vintage community showing off their favorite vintage pieces. I had a hunch it was going to be a major stunt fest, so when they approached me about participating, I thought about what single item was actually “my favorite”, not the most valuable, rare, expensive or coveted, rather the one piece I could rely on day in and day out, my workhorse. I decided to feature my vintage blue Brooks Brothers oxford cloth button down shirt. Many years have passed and I have outgrown my trusty 15.5’s and have made the decision to sell off my collection. You can shop the extensive assortment in our story right now. If you’re a medium, it’s your lucky day. You probably won’t see this many vintage Brooks shirts in one place at one time again. 📷:
ATTN: REAL IVY STYLE HEADS! I am liquidated my personal collection of vintage Brooks Brothers oxford cloth button down shirts in size 15.5/3 or 4. These are all “small tag” 1960s/1970s era 6-button bangers. The quintessential oxford cloth shirt that every brand tries and fails to recreate! These are not cheap, but IYKYK. DM if you want the best shirt ever. ✌🏼
We have a full size run of vintage Brooks oxford cloth button down shirts available in classic blue. Sizing info in our story. DM to purchase.
Hi there, I’m Brian and I run Wooden Sleepers. Been getting a lot of new followers on here, so I thought I’d introduce myself. I started Wooden Sleepers back in 2010 as the first online curated vintage menswear shop specializing in outdoors, ivy, military and workwear - a greatest hits of American style. The brand is routed in my upbringing on the North Fork of Long Island, a rural/coastal area known for farming and fishing.

In 2014, I opened the first Wooden Sleepers bricks and mortar store in Red Hook, Brooklyn with no loans, no investors, and no partners. The buildout was done by me, and my friends and family. It was a dream come true! GQ named Wooden Sleepers, “The best new vintage store in NYC”. The New York Times called us, “An oasis of cool”. New York Magazine included us in their “Best of New York” issue. My small shop on Van Brunt Street became a destination for vintage lovers from all over the world. Didn’t hurt that was around the corner.

In 2020 things came to a grinding halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I was forced to close my shop in Red Hook, a heartbreaking process, but one that allowed me to take a breath and think about what was next for Wooden Sleepers. After careful consideration, I decided to leave NYC retail behind. Part of what informed that decision was having two small children at home that I wanted to spend more time with. So, I decided to shift the business to online, right back where I started.

For the past five years I have operated Wooden Sleepers out of my shop in the village of Tuckahoe, NY, in southern Westchester. I can walk home in five minutes. Life if good. Private shopping appointments are available for those who crave an “in-real-life” experience. The biggest development since closing my shop was having time to pursue working with some of my favorite brands like Ralph Lauren, J. Crew, Todd Snyder, Sperry, Brooks Brothers, J. Press, Huckberry, and currently L.L.Bean. If you are interested in learning more about any of those projects, you can scroll back to 2020. (Continued in comments)
Friends, for the past year and a half we have opened our doors to the public every Saturday. We called it “Open Studio” and it was something I really loved. Any small shop owner will tell you, nothing compares to the energy of a Saturday afternoon. We welcomed locals, out of state visitors and many international vintage enthusiasts. I am truly grateful for every single person who made the pilgrimage to our small shop in Tuckahoe, it really means a lot!

With that said, all good things must come to an end. Effective immediately, we are discontinuing “Open Studio” public hours and focusing all of our efforts on private shopping appointments, our online business, and special projects. I still love in-person retail and feel it’s the best way to experience Wooden Sleepers. Private shopping appointments give you one-on-one attention, exclusive access to our entire vintage collection, pre-appointment consultation/pulls, and the comfort of shopping without a crowd. This feels like the best experience for all parties involved. I hope you agree. And for those out of state and beyond, we are committed to consistent online vintage drops, story sales, and more in 2026.

Our books are open starting January 5, 2026. Email or DM to schedule your visit. See you soon. ✌🏼 - Brian
