Stephen Boykin, a Georgia Southern University graduate, founded Vintage Threads & Grails LLC on July 5, 2018, and operates the curated vintage clothing store at 4660 Cass St, Suite A, San Diego, CA 92109 in the heart of Pacific Beach. Known locally as VTG, the shop specializes in handpicked streetwear and throwback pieces from the 1980s and 1990s, stocking brands such as Nike, Adidas, Levi's, Supreme, FTP, Palace, and Stussy alongside rare designer collaborations and vintage band shirts. Unlike a traditional thrift store, VTG runs a buy-sell-trade model that encourages customers to bring in their own pieces, keeping inventory rotating and prices accessible. Shoppers browsing Cass Street often walk a few blocks south to The French Gourmet for pastries and coffee between vintage hunting sessions. A bargain rack in the back of the store offers finds starting at twenty dollars, where Google reviewers have spotted deals like a Kenzo sweatshirt for under fifty dollars. The shop also hosts community events, including its Worker's Comp Fest showcasing local Pacific Beach musicians, and fashion lovers exploring the Cass Street corridor can continue their afternoon at PB Sushi just down the block. VTG is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 7 PM and Sunday from noon to 6 PM, closed Mondays. The store is wheelchair accessible at the entrance and welcomes visitors looking for one-of-a-kind pieces that cannot be found in any chain retailer.
