Best UK shops for americana style
I took part in a research project and I can receive a £150 voucher for a shop. I’m thinking of using the voucher on americana style clothing, please could you suggest some good shops in the UK that ideally also have gift cards too?
I have uploaded some pictures of example clothing

Orzel and All Blues Co too.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. What is your personal favourite from these shops?
Where in the UK are you based? If near london there’s Hey Cowboy! but that’s slightly more westernwear-y
I’m based in Central Scotland but I could get things delivered to me right as long as the shop is in the UK.
I’d be amazed if you couldn’t
honestly as much as anything it depends if you’re wanting new or second hand stuff. honestly if you’re open to second hand i’d say just get a depop voucher ngl
if you want new the places chopper suggested are probably your best bet
Depop is kinda like Amazon tho and I want good quality stuff, even if it’s second hand?
They’re pretty expensive though. But I do quite like rivet and hide. Their jackets are 🔥
Have you ever shopped at rivet and hide?
Depop is nothing like amazon
85% of the clothes I buy are vintage or second hand, can’t say I have
Only similarity is that they’re an online market place. It’d be my choice if I were you purely because of the fact you can get some pretty decent brands for not that much money comparatively
Got a PRL hunting jacket for example that would’ve been eye watering prices new for £100, there’s good bargains to be had. Unfortunately new americana stuff is expensive over here because we have fewer options for retailers and the majority of the retailers we do have are mid to higher end. Would be a good way to stretch your money more. However I can also understand the want for something new or to support more independent businesses.
That’s my two cents, do with it what you will
That’s interesting and I think I do agree. It sucks that we don’t have as many options here because Americana is awesome. Have you bought anericana clothing from depop before?
A good portion of stuff I’ve posted on #wawyt is from depop I’d say. Mostly jackets but there’s a whole lot of good stuff on there
I also get a good chunk from flip in Newcastle, but they don’t sell online unfortunately
It’s a game of search terms
Vinted is better in the UK than depop honestly
But you have to be willing to dig
Im a big americana/ametora nerd and 90% of what I buy is second hand
Think it depends what you’re looking for. Definitely a lot of digging
stuff tends to be better listed on depop
If I see one more 'blahblah x japanese brand' listing on there I will start a fire
Thanks for the suggestion but Vinted don’t do gift cards.
ebay’s also pretty good for clothes i’m ngl
i’ve had a good chunk of success on there
Holdwest is a seller with an incredible range of americana, among others
think i could easily spend £150 just from them alone
+1 for holdwest
i think my final recommendation would be an ebay voucher
Ebay don’t actually do Uk gift cards tho.
Might be able to get it in dollars and have it work here. Not sure
Failing Ebay, depop
failing depop any of the other sites listed at first
you able to get a prepaid card?
or does it have to be a gift card explicitly
Depop doesn’t seem to do gift cards either or Uk ones anyway.
Alright although rivet and hide is pretty expensive it looks top notch tbh and the reviews are pretty good. Son of a stag is a close second.
Alright I will enquire about the prepaid card too. And I can use that to shop on eBay and depop.
I think prepaid card seemed to be the best option and if that’s not possible then will go for rivet and hide gift card. Thanks a lot for the help, really appreciate it.
That’s what I’d do too if I were you. No worries at all!
