Editorial Review for Jet Rag – by Arthur Brennan
In Short
This barn-like structure houses the largest collection of conservatively priced vintage in L.A. The owners make an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff by displaying the more desirable items behind the cash register, but you're just as likely to find something stunning on the racks. From ultra-loud polyester to subtle denim and corduroy and all points in between, Jet Rag's got it all.

I love this place . Oh man it is so great . Every sunday , everything in the parking lot $1 ! but you will have to dig through piles and piles of clothes. And you should definitely go very early to pick the best things . And be aware . A lot of people will just randomly choose things , put it in a container , and try them on , so be quick in looking through things . All i could find was a shirt when i went , but i got other things from inside . Outside is chaos , but inside is this huge treasure trove of things. Oh wow . My grama and mum were having some crazy flashbacks. Hahah ! A lot of great sun glasses , necklaces , button , pathces , vests , hats , dresses , shoes , etc. ! I highly recommend this store . And make sure you devote a lot of time to looking though things . You can NOT just spend a hour in here !

I am a hardcore "thrifter" and this is one is on my top-5 list when vintage hunting throughout the country on vacations. When walking in to the store, it is absolutely HUGE! You feel like you are walking into a prop department at a nearby Hollywood Studio, and the prices are pretty decent, in lieu of the endless selection. They've got everything for anybody. You want a Victorian Dress? You got it! You want acid washed jeans from the 80's? Kind of gross, but yeah, they got 'em! They have military attire, T-shirts up the yin-yang, and they have more shoes and accessories than you can shake a stick at. I should also comment on the great customer service at this location. I found an old Rodeo belt that fit me, but a lot of them were way too big, so I asked if there was any place I could go to poke extra holes in the belt. The clerk behind the counter told me he had a hole puncher for belts and would do it for free. He was a really nice guy and I kept running into him all over town for the rest of my trip, which was kinda neat. My only complaint is that the dollar sale wasn't that terrific, but then again, I should have showed up earlier since everything was already picked through. My friend Bryan found a terrific sweater-jacket for himself, though, as I recall, but this WAS last summer. Bottom line: I LOVE THIS STORE!
Pros: selection, prices, staff, location, organization
Cons: except for parking, NOTHING!
