Backward Glances has been your one-stop vintage clothing store since 1985! We specialize in fashions from the 40's to the 80's, including many original deadstock, never worn finds. As a child I progressed from fringed vests to disco dresses. Halloween was always my favorite holiday, then the Rocky Horror Picture Show made it Halloween every weekend.
Punk rockers inspired me to mix vintage into my wardrobe and I was hooked. We've been selling vintage clothing, cool t-shirts, costumes and collectibles in our vintage clothing store since 1985. We started our website in 1999, and now ship all over the world. I personally hand-pick every item at Backward Glances, and would love to help you find your special look.

Drove here to find disco themed attire and they did not disappoint! They have pieces from every decade, including accessories, shoes, and t-shirts. The owner is an absolute doll and helped my little girl find exactly what she needed. She was so patient and professional. We will most certainly be back! It was well worth the 1.5 hr drive from Morris County!

Have been looking for a particular t-shirt that this store carries. Left a message via their website not expecting much, but the owner called me personally the next day, took all my information, and had the clothing shipped up to me that day. Package just arrived and I'm thrilled. They had the best selection and price - and the best service. Check them out!!

Went there once when they were in Red Bank. walked in one early evening after dinner and some rude person from the back shouted "closed". NEVER went back again! FAUX VINTAGE shop not real. Give Goodwill and charity thrift shops the business instead.
In a dark scary basement in Asbury good luck finding parking.
