Where You Can Buy Vintage Dior For Literally $15

It's not every day one has the patience to find something really good on eBay. Or maybe that's just me. Only recently did I embrace the idea of vintage shopping (i.e. wearing someone else's clothing), but since then I've copped some seriously insane stuff (vintage Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, etc.). However, it ain't as easy as It girls like Camille Rowe and Caroline de Maigret make it look. And sometimes, thrift stores just don't have what I want — nay, "what the kids are wearing these days." So I had to suit up and dive in head first into the crazy, insane world that is eBay.

My most recent excursion led me down a path of vintage Dior track jackets. Random, I know — but for, like, $15? I'll take two, please. Why I wanted a jacket when it's 97 degrees outside is beyond me, but something told me I'd stumbled upon something cool; sort of like the jackpot of Oh, this? It's vintage type of street-style gold.

Trends are cyclical, sure, so it's no surprise that 40+ years later, the French maison (that, mind you, is a leader in haute couture, as well) is continuing to revamp these each season. But why the track jacket is part of its DNA is kind of puzzling, non? We tried to trace its origins, but mysteriously couldn't find anything. No campaign, no runway moments — nada. And believe it or not, the image at right is actually from this season.

In the slideshow ahead, we did the hours of scanning through eBay pages so you don't have to. Ranging from $15 to $120 for a full set (at least, before someone like Kanye West thrusts them mainstream), there's a color for pretty much everyone, especially those who want something a little more retro than a Juicy Couture tracksuit (which is, apparently, on its way back, too). And if you can't find what you want on eBay, this is only just the beginning. There's tons more on Etsy, as well.
