"   Photo: Bloomingdales  When you think of savvy entrepreneur and hip-hop mogul Damon Dash, vintage probably doesn&amp;#039;t come to mind, but his newest venture, a vintage showroom and shop in DD172\u2032s Tribeca headquarters just goes to show how relevant heritage-chic has become. Dash and longtime employee David Chang figured they had ample gallery space to showcase their love of classic Americana style\u2014Chang calls Dash `a Ralph Lauren connoisseur&amp;#039;\u2014and whipped up the idea for Local 172 Trading Post. Tomorrow, at noon, its doors open to the public for beer and browsing their first round of pre-loved picks. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s always something behind a piece of vintage clothing... it&amp;#039;s like memorabilia. What we&amp;#039;re trying to do with the space is almost curate clothes. It&amp;#039;s like a gallery of clothing, but everything is on sale,&amp;quot; Chang says, attributing the surge in vintage interest to boredom with the new. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like, why not stick to the classic stuff that always looks good?&amp;quot; One lucky lady can score an original, rare leopard print Ralph Lauren shawl collar cardigan for a reasonable $200 and there are enough denim shirts, broken in oxfords and off-beat silk blouses from $35-$50 to help you nail the Nantucket-meets-ranch-meets-LES look hipsters have turned into uniforms. Men in the market for M-65 field jackets, polos, plaids, and heritage style sweaters won&amp;#039;t be disappointed either, with prices in the same attainable range and in sizes that&amp;#039;ll suit both sexes. You can check the website for updates on their vintage-loving friends&amp;#039; upcoming turns at curating the racks\u2014and shoot local172nyc@gmail.com an email if you plan to stop by this first week!
