Vintage Thrift Steampunk Shopping in Cap Cod

We recently wanted to attend a steampunk gathering and I needed so new clothes for my son. He's now 6'1" and has outgrown most of what we've acquired for him.

Luckily we were in Hyannis recently and, if you are on the East coast, I can attest that Cape Cod has some of the best thrift store around. It's a challenge, since at almost every one we find something we have to purchase.

With my son's needs in mind we were able to find two men's button downs in appropriate ecru/tan colors, two pairs of dark pants (one lovely pair in pinstripes) and a fantastic button down vest.

In Hyannis itself we visited Plush and Plunder, a vintage store that is vintage without all the over priced hype we've seen elsewhere. This place has become our new destination shopping venue in Hyannis! We scored a men's top hat, a wool felt round top hat, a black crushed velvet fedora with a leopard print band (think Superfly!) and a pair of Durango boots in used but still good condition. And best of all since it was the "end of season" everything was 1/2 off. Woo woo!

Here's a photo from their website

The entire ceiling is lined with HATS!! Yahoo!

Onto how the clothes were (slightly) altered to steampunk status.
