Signage arrived last week for Other People's Clothes (OPC) at 112 Fourth Ave. just south of 12th Street...
OPC started in 2020 with an outpost in Ridgewood before expanding to Williamsburg and Bushwick.
Per the OPC website, the shops are a "creative platform for lovers of thrifted fashion. We welcome all to buy, sell, and trade their pre-loved clothing, shoes, and accessories every day of the week."
The Fourth Avenue retail space had been vacant since 2019, when the longtime home of the Salvation Army Family Store reportedly had the lease terminated.
The listing offered the bi-level storefront for restaurant usage, and it seemed destined for a fast-casual concept. So, OPC is a pleasant surprise.

I remember shopping in the original Canal Jeans back when it had lots of Army surplus clothes and gear. There were quite a few other places in the mid-to-late 1970's that were great places to pick up "stuff" at prices most students cold afford. Does anyone recall the names and locations of the other stores?
This building has a long publishing and social history:
