Horrible service by the lady at the register bad temper and rude. I am from out of town and have been going to vintage stores around LA by far this as been the store that I get mistreated the lady at the cashier is very rude to not just me but all the customers walking in. I waited for her for a while at the register the security told me she was in the restroom she gets back and yelled are you done are you ready you can't be standing here. Other than a bad experience the place had cool vintage stuff. read more

So incredibly expensive. I understand that all clothes are very unique and stylish, but we have to remember that this is still a thrift store. read more

Huge selection of clothes. You could be lost in here for hours! Prices are decent for the location.

Way overpriced for the junk that they have. Better luck going to a good will or Salvation Army you will find way better pieces for a better price. They also cleaned up their $1 sale an hour before it was meant to end. read more

There was a time when I looked forward to going to Jet Rag and spending the afternoon shopping but after today that won't be happening again. I bought a pair of pants there last week and when I got home I discovered the zipper was broke. I didn't think it would be a big deal to take them back and get store credit. Boy was I wrong. The security guard at the door asked me if I was returning something and I said yes to which he politely informed me that all sales were final. Since I had a broken zipper I thought they would make an exception so I asked if I could see the manager. She was sitting at the register doing nothing even though there was a line of about 5 people waiting and she came over to me (with a chip on her shoulder) and asked me what was wrong, I told her the zipper was broken and I would like to get store credit if I could. She looked at the pants and didn't even take the time to check the zipper, she just said, "the tags are not on the pants", I told her they were on the bottom of the bag but apparently that was a deal-breaker for her because she just said no, no tags no return. I left the store and had to take the jeans to my tailor to see if she can repair them and what the cost is going to be. That will be the last time I shop there, I'll be going to Wasteland instead. read more

Came here tonight because I had been wanting to check it out after hearing so many positive reviews. First off they have a lot to choose from, but the staff is very blah and don't acknowledge you whatsoever because they're too busy focusing on what creepy satanic song to play next. Was really disappointed in the women's shirts because they're not vintage or authentic at all but the dresses were great as were the skirts. Don't think I will come back because of how bad the energy was (not trying to come off as that person) and how terrible the quality of the clothing is. read more

You can never say, "I found exactly what I was looking for at the thrift shop." Most often you walk in a thrift shop with an idea of what you want and then grabbing starts. lol Huge area to shop. It's used clothes so the store smell is imminent Cool clothes. Happy picking! read more

For a second hand store they're a bit over priced, but generally the clothes you find there are in good shape. Other than that what else can be said they sell the clothes you stopped wearing in high school, or what your grand parents weren't burried in. read more

Hands down 5 stars! Jet rag is sooooo RAD! Was trying to be funny but honest at the same time. I love this place, great selection of vintage clothing. Unique and never out of style. The prices are higher but still affordable and it's very worth it if you want to find a unique piece. Jet rat is huge and men's section is smaller than woman's buy both sections are decent size. The staff members are very nice and I never had any problems with them. I have nothing bad to say about this place. I love coming here and getting my vintage vibes clothing's! Oh! On sundays they do 1 dollars sale on the parking lot soo... check it out! read more

Jet Rag - The best jacket - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sadly the "$1 Sundays" do not mean everything in the store is $1-it's just a rack outside. Definitely need to go again though, because when I got there they closed it early due to the heat :( read more

If your looking for cheap vintage clothing in Hollywood this seems to be your spot. The organization is piss poor and they semi sort things by color but not really at the same time. You would think some organization would come from clothing size but apparently my logic doesn't make sense. The place has a huge selection from sports uniforms, shoes, curtains, jeans and much more. Go inside with a purpose or a plan or you'll wind up walking around for a few hours looking at random goods. Some of the stuff seemed a tad overused or gross but you can sift through to the good stuff. A great location on La Brea makes it easy to swing by. read more

Jet Rag - Jet Rag from the 2nd floor - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Sounds like people have all kinds of experience with this store.. I dig it, but I think it's particularly cool for guys. I always go by mid-day on a weekday, so it's mellow... the staff seems super relaxed, and there are always changing room available. For vintage guys stuff, it's the best selection/price combo in town. Tons and tons of button down shirts, flannels, belts, vintage ties, army bags, hats. read more

Huge selection and really well organized. Everything seemed to be of good quality but wasn't too expensive. Left with a ton of stuff.

This place is amazing. Tons and tons of excellent finds hidden in the shelves. The staff was super friendly and helpful, as well! Prices are also very reasonable. We made some unique finds here that we love and we'll definitely be back again to do some thrifting. If you haven't been, would recommend stopping by! Though keep in mind, the store can be pretty hectic on Sundays as they have a $1 sale special. read more

The only good thing about this place is when they have that sale for $1 clothing. But you get what you get with that. Inside has a lot of good clothing but way over priced. Only thing I got good from there was a cool bag for $8. Unless you don't mind paying for clothes that are over priced just because they're "trendy". read more

I have been a long time customer of Jet Rag. Dollar day is my Jam since I moved to LA over 20 years ago. I have bought so many cool of the wall pieces. I find great Christmas presents. I make bags for the kids all year long with cool finds. One year I gave them gift cards thinking they had grown out of my dollar day bags. They looked at me like I killed Santa. "No Jet Rag bags." the youngest said with tears in her eyes. " I had a wind fall and thought the gift cards would be so cool." $50 bucks to go shopping for yourself." I said. "No bags at all.?" I couldn't believe it. I felt bad because all I could afford were dollar day stuff in a homemade laundry bag. They on the other hand looked forward to it year after year. I'm on my way right now. Lesson learned. Resell,recycle and repurpose for the planet and all the fun memories. I LOVE Jet Rag. True story. read more

Ever visit a store that asks you to hand over your purse as you enter as an adult? No? Well let me introduce you to Jet Rag. And looking at the previous reviews, it's a huge issue. Here's the gist. Took my New Yorker friend to pick up some hip clothes, walked in, the store clerk immediately told her that she needed to check her purse. My friend questioned the policy, the rude gal had no answer other than it was policy. My friend reluctantly handed her purse over. I personally would have walked. At 40 I have no time for bs, but she wanted to stay because she had loved the store during her first visit about 10 years ago. But pay attention kiddos, here's the thing. When a store requires their employees to ask female customers to check their bags at the door, they immediately assume you are a thief. As another person pointed out in a similar situation, you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. Not only that, but you are putting your own belongings at risk in order to satisfy their undue paranoia. This is wrong. Shoplifting prevention doesn't have to include something as invasive as requiring you to surrender your belongings before entering the store. Not to mention aside from it being a horrible invasion of your privacy, it's quite possible illegal for a store to demand your personal property unless they suspect you of a crime. Let me repeat, THIS IS WRONG and more than a bit jacked. So here's my action. I refuse to shop at places that assume you're a thief before you even come in. There are plenty of stores out there that respect you as an individual and would LOVE to take your money. Pass. *** Forgot to add this one. A bit later as we were leaving, the same clerk asked an even older woman (50s-60s) for her purse and the woman flat out refused "No honey, I'll be holding on to my purse" Right on. read more

First off I didn't really shop at Jet Rag. With my mom and she is looking for a costume for a decade party and we walk in and we start to scan the store and immediately a man that works there yells at my Mom to put her purse at the front and that she cannot shop there if she wants to carry it. Oh hell no. You do not treat your customers (new or old) like criminals upon walking into the store. Terrible social and customer service skills and tactics. I work retail and would NEVER talk to a customer like that. Nope mum is not leaving her Prada with dingy old thrift store man. We are out. And will not be back. read more

I'm only reviewing the $1 Sunday sale, I'm not sure what the actual store is like every other day of the week. I had been looking forward to the sale for ages, and I was finally able to go today. I was truly appalled at the savagery of the shoppers. Nothing will reveal a person's animal nature more than a thrift store dollar sale. People shoveled everything they could see into their arms and ran off to create enormous piles of loot, most of which, of course, they did not even want. Because I had not anticipated such a grab-fest, I was left with nothing. Eventually I started to see unattended piles, but as I began rooting through them inevitably someone would come up and snap that I was looking through their pile. There was no way to distinguish the "public" piles from the "private" ones. Seriously, there was a girl with a pile as tall as she was, and she wasn't even looking through it. She just left it there and wandered off, and somehow thought it was unfair if others looked through it. I'm sorry, I just don't understand that. Discouraged, I went inside the store to try on the one shirt I had found. While inside the dressing room, a Jet Rag employee started yelling at me through the door. I came out, wearing the shirt that I had been trying on, to see what the problem was. He was angry that I hadn't checked my bag up front, told me that I wasn't allowed to use the dressing rooms for the $1 sale, and insinuated that I was trying to steal the shirt that I had been trying on. I muttered an apology and left immediately. So with the ludicrous Darwinian style shopping topped with the extremely rude shoppers and employees, it goes without saying that I'm not visiting Jet Rag again. If you enjoy this type of shopping, good for you, you may find something worthwhile. Personally, I'm going to stick with Good Will and remain civilized. read more

Complete BS. $1 sale is piles of clothing on the floor in the parking lot. Everything is above retail. Discussing Jean jacket $55. Can get a brand one one from kohl's for $49.. lol read more

After several visits and a lot of observation, I've figured out the stratagem for a successful $1 parking lot Sunday spree: -Get there crack of dawn early -Get one of those huge laundry bins with the wheels like the hotels use (that Jet Rag has) -As soon as they dump the clothing, begin to get armful after armful of clothes, no matter what it is, into your bin -Find a safe corner and start sorting through your pile, keeping the ones you want, tossing the rest to the masses -GUARD YOUR PILE WITH YOUR LIFE!!! Of course, I've never had the fortitude to do any of the above, but trust me, you'll be coming home with some choice digs. If you're anything like me and will casually saunter into the sale close to noon and slightly hungover, be sure to at least have some sort of bag (like a deep-pocketed across the shoulder bag or even a heavy duty garbage bag) with you, and wear clothes you can try clothes over/under (like a skirt you can demurely wear while being knee-deep in clothes and a tightish shirt - a bra on these days are preferable), and you're good. More pointers: -Even if you're REMOTELY interested in something, GRAB IT AND KEEP IT UNTIL YOU HATE IT. You will regret it when someone else "takes it from you" and will cause you to have nightmares about how that your life would be so much better had you actually snagged that piece -Wear sunblock -Bring someone you trust with you for a second opinion. Sure, everything's a dollar, but you really don't want to be going home with junk you'll be embarrassed you own in the immediate future (i.e., when you get home -DO NOT TOUCH OTHER PEOPLES' PILES. Aside from that, the actual store is pretty cool. Selection is VERY hit and miss for me, and has been more on the miss side than anything (but I do have to say I love my polka dotted dress I'm wearing in my current avatar). Don't go there looking for something in particular, you'll be very disappointed. Otherwise, it's a great place to get clothes that will make you look unique, just like everybody else. read more

Incredibly rude, dismissive, and ignorant staff. They are trying to pass off 80s and 70s polyester nightmare clothing as original 50's dresses etc.. Absolutely disgraceful. Just full of 80s crap that no one will buy. Ever. read more

Jet Rag - This is not 50s. It is Liz fricking Claiborne. - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hey Jet Rag heres another one star review for your bad customer service skills! I totally understand why I am not alone with my feelings about this place. Ive come in several times and each time its the same experience. The employees here have no customer service abilities. You need something? Have a question? Don't bother asking. The way the employees speak to you and treat you, make you feel like your supposed to be less of a person then they are. Learn common decency & people skills or find a new field to work in if your so unhappy there. read more

I love thrift stores. This store has a great collection of slightly over priced vintage finds and a rockin' $1 sale every Sunday. The problem is the staff... Seriously, you work at an over priced vintage store! When I walked in they wanted to hold my purse for me.... the purse that I keep my money, credit cards, car keys, and personal items in. It was not a backpack or a large bag, just a regular sized purse. WTF?!?! I don't think I could've fit a pair of stolen panties in there much less a $10 pair of Levi's!! Slow your roll Rent-A-Cop wannabe's!!! Guess what? You actually can't hold my purse for me while I shop. I'll put it back in my car along with all my money and my need to buy anything in your store. It takes a lot to piss off a thrift store lovin' hippie... Just sayin'!! read more

Negative stars. Spend your money elsewhere, there are far better vintage shops in LA who don't rip off their customers and who stand behind the pieces the buy and sell. Rude people, bad vibes...go to Buffalo Exchange. read more

Terribly rude sales person and their 5-foot tall guy sidekick insisted I surrender my purse the second I walked in. WHAT??? Since when do you expect to get access to my personal belongings in exchange for the privilege of looking around your stinky store? Tiffany's won't do it, but Jet Rag will? I told the rude staff it was a free country and I was not going to part with my IDs, credit cards and whatever else my purse holds. they said it was a private store and they could do whatever they wanted. REALLY? Have you ever heard of customer service, or are your brains second-hand too? Never going back and I suggest you think twice before you enter this "business". If those people have a shoplifting problem, they should invest in cameras or loss prevention staff instead of treating all entering customers as potential thieves and demanding their purses. Ridiculous. I wonder if it might be time to file a formal complaint with the CA Department of Consumer Affairs. read more

My favorite spot for poppin' tags. You really just cant beat the dolla make me holla sale on Sundays. Wanna know how I roll? I go between 11 and 2 pm. This way, all the bags are out and most of the carnivorous hipster crowd is busy with their big bins of ironic t shirts so they are out of the way. You really gotta dig and check your scores thoroughly for stains, rips, holes, etc. Keep in mind that some oxyclean and good ole elbow grease can get out lots of dirt and grime. Parking is metered and the meter nazis are always out in full force. Set an alarm on your phone to give yourself about 10 min. to pay and go feed your meter, otherwise you WILL get a ticket. You'd be surprised how fast time flies when you're digging in the piles here. Cash only, so make sure to take some dolla dolla bills y'all. Watch them, too because I've had them not give me change back on a few occasions. read more

My fondest memory at Jet Rag is standing in line behind a pissy Drew Barrymore...this must have been like 10 years ago. She was about to pay for her shit with her credit card. Cashier chick: Sorry, I'm going to have to see an ID with that. Drew: C'mon, you know who I am! Cashier chick: Sorry, that's store policy, as you can see on our sign, we require an ID with credit cards. Drew: You fucking bitch, you know who I am, I'm Drew Barrymore! Why don't you just cut the crap and sell me the clothes. Cashier chick: There's nothing I can do, that's the store policy. I can hold your clothes if you like and you can come back to get them later. Drew (fuming with rage): Fuck. Fine! Keep these items and I'll be back later. And she storms off with her friend. I bow down to you cashier chick for not giving in. Shame on you Ms. Barrymore, that free love nice girl bullshit act you put on no longer convinced me from that day on. As for Jet Rag, although I haven't been in years, you will always have a place in my heart for all the incredible finds. Ahh...those hot sweaty Sundays. Sadly, I'm a lazy old bitch now and only shop online or at outlets. Barney's in Camarillo! I'm such a rockstar. read more

This review is just for Dollar Make You Holler Sundays! I can't afford what's inside... People get pretty feisty when they first rip open garbage bags of clothes. People just grab anything, personal piles to sort through. They throw whatever they don't want back into the large piles so... Tip # 1: Let them do their thing, but stay nearby for when they throw items back into the large piles. What?! They didn't want this gorgeous green satin "Free People" dress, score! Tip # 2: Of course, bring some dollars, duh. They may not have change. Tip # 3: Park on the small side streets where permits aren't required. If you get hungry and are a vegetarian like me, you can always take a short walk over to M Cafe. Tip # 4: Don't want to deal with large crowds?The late afternoon is where it tends to die down. You may not get as many good finds, but at least you don't have to fight over the little mirrors (1-2) that they have. Tip # 5: For the sake of great finds, be prepared to get down and dirty! (*After, you'll need some sanitizer for your hands and for your clothes.) read more

Tip: When drunk shopping, make sure you bring someone with you. With prices this cheap and stock this varied and large, becoming tempted into purchasing a whole new wardrobe is a very reasonable risk. And chances are, the more drunk, the more forgiving-when your vision is blurred it's kind of hard to spot snags, bulges and other measures of imperfection, and sober you'd never even have considered that purple wool hat. Anyway, drunk or not, this is a great store. Tons of vintage slips, hats and coats pulled me toward them and they have a nice men's section, which can be harder to come by. Parking is available but fills up, so you can risk parking across the street at Kelly Paper, as a gentleman hipped me to after warning he'd been told he'd get towed from the Von Dutch lot next door. As if there weren't enough reasons to want to burn down every single thing emblazoned with the crap brand's logo. Oh, but we're talking about Jet Rag right now... And while it can be sort of hipsterish if that's the style you're hunting for, it definitely goes beyond that to champion styles that are truly retro, though not so costumey as to turn off customers who are not teenaged or artsy enough to get away with aqua lame leggings from the 80s and pinafore dresses that look like something only a Mormon in a polygamy sect would sport. Nothing blew me away other than the slips, which were of course more expensive than most of the stock since I can't for the life of me ever seem to be attracted to bargains, so I can't give a fiver, but if you're looking for a few pieces to boost your everyday wardrobe you could certainly do a lot worse. read more

Hmmm... I was visiting LA on vacation 2 weeks ago and was on a mission to find some great vintage stores. This, however, was not what I had in mind. I went on the famed "$1 Sunday", and found people with mounds of clothes strewn across the parking lot. I am not a fan of "digging" (I know, to be a good thrifter you should enjoy hunting for stuff). So, I barely glanced through one pile and decided I'd rather just shop inside. Sadly, the staff inside made me want to go back outside. The owner (I presume) actually walked up to me and tossed me an old, tattered dress with a large hole and said "Make me an offer". I thought it was kind of insulting (well, maybe definitely insulting). Their stuff just wasn't that great and, true to the other reviews, it was indeed all overpriced. And, it was, also, indeed smelly. :( I was disappointed. read more

Terrible service. 1) they make you give them your bag when you walk in. 2) they all have attitude 3) the clothes are mostly hideous 4) everything is overpriced 5) they make you hang up your own stuff after you try it on IVE HAD ENOUGH: Not going back, ever. Go to buffalo exchange, down the street. read more

This review is about their $1 Sunday sale. I was originally apprehensive about going on a hot summer day because I had heard about the rank smells caused by the summer sun and the crazy crowds who hoarded clothes. We showed up and there were tents set up over the mounds of clothes, which was A+ for me and my fair skin. The crowd was minimal and very chill. My friends and I claimed a laundry cart to toss our finds in but everyone else had less of a hoarding mentality and casually browsed. Pluses about coming when they open on Sunday: street parking is free (for an hour or two until the meters start up) and there's a food court down the street with a Jamba Juice, Starbucks, and more. The only downside was that there was no changing room if you wanted to try on anything. Ladies, wear a skirt or dress so you can try on jeans or shorts without stripping down. They sell costumes, vintage clothing, and more. Among the most notable of my finds that Sunday were a United Airlines pilot jacket (one button was cracked and I'll have to tailor it to fit me) and a lacy vintage slip (I had to scrub the hell out of some stains and sew a piece of lace back onto the chest). For $1, this sale can't be beat. PS: The occasional D (or maybe A) list celebrity sighting occurs here, too. My friend recognized Ke$ha's mom at the Sunday sale. Everybody likes a good deal, I guess. read more

This store is the worst - mostly because of the customer service. The staff don't even greet you, let alone pay any attention to you. One staff member passed by me and didn't even look at me. The clothes are too pricey for what they are. They're not even high-quality like Crossroads and Jet Rag is more expensive than them. Won't come back at all. read more

This place has a good selection of clothes, but unfortunately their business practices and rudeness overshadow their merchandise. My girlfriend who is a Wardrobe stylist made a pull for a job and they tacked on an extra $230 rental fee, to the already 40% studio pull fee, WITHOUT telling her that there would be a Rental fee. When she tried to get the hidden fee reversed she practically got yelled at by owner Orit (i need not go into detail about this awful lady, there seem to be enough 1-star reviews about her here already). Shady and deceptive business practice. Not cool. Check your receipts carefully if you insist on shopping here. Better bang for your buck and customer service at Wasteland or Buffalo Exchange. read more

Called today April 5 at 11:25am to ask a question and the male who answered literally hung up on me, he refused to give me his name. If you work in retail it's your job to assist customers even over the phone, the manager needs to teach their team better manners on how to speak on the phone. read more

Meh, more like a 2.5. Fuck the salesdude that was working the counter today. It's a shame 'cause their shit is so awesome. I hate that I love this store so much. As far as thrift stores go this is the most organized I've been to thus far and they have something for everyone. I guarantee you will find at least one thing to fall in love with. But the service sucks. Unfortunately for me I'm not one of those people who can just be like "fuck em" and let stuff roll off my shoulders. I care a lot about the overall shopping experience and not just the wares they have to offer. I get that working in retail sucks but wtf. That cashier made my friend and I really uncomfortable the whole time. He was watching her like a hawk the entire time and mind you she only had an itty bitty purse. A wallet with straps essentially. Then he proceeded to give me mega attitude when I was paying. I don't even want the fucking dress anymore (as cute as it is) but alas... all sales are final. No exchanges, no nothing. Be prepared to go through a lot of cool shit but be prepared to deal with some assholes behind the counter too. The store itself would've been a 5 but he ruined my day so hard I don't think I'm gonna go back anymore (I *want* to, but I won't). read more

I've endured this place for the last time. Any place that barks at you as you enter to leave your PURSE (regular sized, not big) behind the counter does not get my business. I also know from experience that their stuff smells and is overpriced. Staff is consistently rude. read more

Everything is dirty and overpriced. It's things you might find at a flea market but marked up to pay for prime real estate on La Brea - hey I get it. But doesn't mean i wanna drop $38-$48 for a used smelly dress that still stinks of some other chick's BO; or $24-$42 for a wrinkly shirt or polyester sweater with a chocolate stain on it from 1982. I get that you need to price things higher to pay for rent on La Brea, but can you at least take pride in your items and have integrity in your product and maybe steam it, or fabreeze it to get the stench out? I like that there are lots of things to look at. Things are divided in a way that makes it easy to browse. There is a parking lot as well as meter parking. Not great when compared to the Pasadena Flea Market, the Rose Bowl Flea Market, or American Vintage when it comes to Prices; nor when compared to the Wharehouse (in Echo Park) or Squaresville when it comes to Quality! But overall, not a bad way to kill an hour, browse the racks. Make sure you wash your hands after. And maybe stop in on a Sunday for their $1 outdoor flea! Now that's worth checking out! All the junk you'd spend $30-$50 inside gets sold on sundays for $1!- too much stock! NOTE: Unless it's seriously an elegant brand name piece you should never pay more than $15-$20 for a vintage piece. I don't care what the store/person/boutique is asking for it. It's old, it's used, and it's never worth more than $15-$20. On rare occasions- YES, most often than not- NO! Keep that in mind next time you go thrifting! Places like Jet Rag will hike up their prices because they know we are willing to pay them! read more

Way, way back in the early 90's when I was but a starry-eyed teenager growing up on the east coast, I read that Courtney Love shopped here. For some reason I've never forgotten that factoid. Anyway... 3.5 stars. I usually walk out of here with at least one or two reasonably priced gems, and the Sunday sale is always an adventure. A few caveats, though: 1. If you're female and looking for something pre-1960's, look elsewhere. Can't speak for the selection of men's clothes, but the women's section tilts heavily in favor of the late 60's/70's. 2. As has been pointed out, the customer service is terrible. Be prepared to be treated like a potential shoplifter as soon as you walk through the door. 3. The dressing rooms are awful- they're poorly lit and made out of some kind of noisy metal material. So, yeah. Not perfect. But definitely worth a look. read more
