Definition

Items that are old enough to feel retro but not quite old enough to be considered antique—the sweet spot where something becomes desirable again. Also a polite way to describe "heavily used" on resale sites.

Example Usage

I found this vintage leather jacket at the thrift store for $8—it's got some wear, but that's what makes it cool.
