If you haven't already, it's time to start getting into vintage men's clothing. While we're all super conscious of embracing all the style lessons from spring/summer, there's one trend that you should probably embrace regardless: sustainability. Nothing is sicker than an ethically-crafted wardrobe, and a great place to start is with pre-owned, pre-loved clothing.

But why would you buy second hand? Well, other than its eco-conscious appeal, you'll find often find something that's totally unique. And if it's designer, chances are it's probably pretty rare, meaning few other fashion bros will have it. So, as part of GQ's Change Is Good programming, every week, we'll be showing off some of our fave vintage men's clothing pieces. Tuck in.

    Prada Jacket

    The Prada Mouton Jacket in this condition is pretty hard to come by. Released around the early '00s, this was crafted in Italy from 100 per cent sheepskin, making it both super lightweight and super cosy at the same time. £5,738. farfetch.com

    Chicago Bulls T-Shirt

    Every guy needs some solid sports merch in their wardrobe. But if you want something that few other guys will have, check out this '90s Chicago Bulls tee. £65. permanentorbit.com

    Loewe Biker Jacket

    Thanks to Jonathan Anderson, Loewe hype is skyrocketing by the second. But even before all of that, the Spanish fashion house was making some pretty sick garms, like this green lambskin biker jacket from the days of yore. £2,089. farfetch.com

    Thom Browne x Colette Sweatshirt

    Back when cult French retailer Colette was still around (RIP), Thom Browne teamed up with the Parisian boutique for a full collection that included over one hundred unique pieces. This sweatshirt was one of them, and if you don't buy it now, you'll probably never be able to buy it ever again. Don't say we didn't warn you. £245. rokit.com

    Hermès Reversible Bomber Jacket

    Grab this Hermès piece from the ‘80s for a straight-up retro show off. It’s reversible too, so you're basically getting two jackets for the price of one. £2,225. farfetch.com

  • 6/10

    Ministry of Sound Flight Jacket

    Think of the gigs this Ministry of Sound flight jacket's been to. Think of the pirate radio tracks it's heard. Think of how many times it's listened to “Energy 52” on repeat. Get it now before someone else does. £250. permanentorbit.com

  • 7/10

    Helmut Lang Nylon Twill Jacket

    Helmut Lang was in his prime during the late ‘90s, and this piece released right in the middle of the Austrian designer’s golden age. One of the highlights of his SS97 collection, it's essentially tailoring that's made for clubbing. £275. endyma.com

  • 8/10

    Vivienne Westwood T-Shirt

    Vivienne Westwood always had a thing for mad graphics, and if there's a tee out there that best represents the late and great icon's love of bold prints, it's this one. £138. vestiairecollective.com

  • 9/10

    Hysteric Glamour Yujiro Ishihara Jacket

    Released during Hysteric Glamour's (very) early days, this pastel pink jacket pays tribute to the late and great Yujiro Ishihara, who's considered to be one of the greatest Japanese actors and singers of all-time. £90. grailed.com

  • 10/10

    Stüssy Graphic Sweatshirt

    Absolutely everyone is filling their wardrobes with Stüssy sweaters these days. But a Stüssy sweater from the ‘90s? Yeah, we didn’t think so either. £85. thrifted.com
