The Thread Locker - Vintage clothing, accessories, equipment and rarities
Registered in January 2011, forgot about Etsy until Summer 2011. The Thread Locker on Etsy's volume is small because I have a specific idea of the quality and type of items I choose to sell. I throw lots of catches back and don't sell for quantity, I sell for the type of quality my customers want and deserve.
I generally offer well crafted vintage items that were made in the USA, but sometimes offer items from Europe and Japan. The country of origin of my items is really important-I never sell merchandise from sweatshops or merchandise originating from unfair labor practicing regions of the world.
Places like China, or India are a no go, due to their corrupt and inhumane leadership, which has led to an incredible lack of oversight in garment and goods labor. I find the exploitation of the people who you swore to serve as something evil, but they do it with impunity. Much of Asia is also on my shit list for how they treat their workers, with the exception being Japan, who have been leaders in manufacturing of nearly every facet of retail and trade for decades.
I can't consider selling much of South America's merchandise, banned from The Thread Locker for the same reason- unless I can tell if it's one off, from a smaller shop.
My passions are bringing you well preserved, scarce, classic vintage items at fair prices, and the best possible customer service. Everything is 100% satisfaction guaranteed and backed by a full refund, the reason for why you returned it doesn't matter to me.
Just send the item(s) back. Every sale is a thrill, as is my repeat customer base, I try to do everything I can to make repeat customers out of anybody who buys a Thread Locker item. If you read my feedback, you will see that I have a loyal cadre of admirers.
If you're looking for something in particular, please reach out with a message. My models are tough to get a hold of and that means I often have a closet load (I have a separate closet for sale material) of items that haven't yet been shot or listed.
I'll ship anything I sell worldwide. Thanks for reading about my shop and it's truly a pleasure. -Sky
