Correction
In a story about a fund-raising
concert by Youth for a Nuclear

Hammer was incorrectly named as
the founder of the organization. The
founder is Andrew F. Broman. It was
also incorrectly stated that the or
ganization was founded three years
ago. The organization was founded
five years ago. The Daily Nebraskan
regrets the errors.

Karen Jordan-Anderson wears a hat from her store, Second Wind.
Shop gives clothes a 'second wind'
By Joeth Zucco
Staff Reporter
1963 — The Beatles’ “Straw
berry Fields” is playing on the
radio. Mini-skirts and gargantuan
hoop earrings arc the rage.
Everything’s groovy.
1987 — George Harrison’s
“Got My Mind Set On You” is
playing on the radio. Mini-skirts
and gargantuan hoop earrings are
the rage. Everything’s still groovy.
Second Wind — Vintage
Clothing and Collectibles at
tempts to keep everything groovy
with clothing from the 1880s to the
mid-1960s.
“The clothes arc experienced,”
said Karen Jordan Anderson,
owner of Second Wind, “They’ve
had one experience already, and
they’re ready for another.”
Despite the wide selection,
prices are relatively low. Jewelry
is the least expensive, starting at 50
cents and averaging about $5. The
most expensive item in the store is
a Persian lamb coal with a mink
collar and matching hat for $150.
Anderson said she tries to keep the
prices low. Most items cost $5 to
$25.
"I know what it’s like to find
something neat and not be able to
buy it,” she said. “People tell me
my prices arc too low, but I like to
have people enjoy stuff.”
Like other vintage clothing
stores, the store is small and
crowded with past eras. A rack of
blouses swirls from a wall stocked
with $1.50 hats and gloves. To the
left of the door is a rack bursting
with skirts and dresses from the
flapper era. A jewelry counter is
splattered with clip-on earrings,
bracelets, cat-eyed glasses, sun
glasses, nickel-silver purses and a
porcupine-spiked hat. A silver hat
tree stands full of black hats, pink
feathered hats and veiled hats. An
overstuffed couch lined with vel
vet throw shawls and muffs com
pletes the room.
The back is equally crowded
with two racks of dresses, skirts
and more blouses that run the
length of the room. A rack of men ’ s
clothing stands opposite, with sil
ver wedgies and other vintage
shoes sitting underneath. A round
rack of coats hides the dressing
room in the comer.
The store sells an assortment of
items — a lipstick holder that re
sembles a candlestick, a musical
powder box, a Capo di Monte lamp
that is valued at $ 120, but sells for
$85 in the shop, and an unfinished
early- 1900s wedding dress with a
partially finished skirt and torso, 2
feet of silk for underlining, and silk
for a sash.
Anderson stressed that all the
clothes arc dry-cleaned or washed
and ironed before they arc put up
for sale.
“A lot of people have hang-ups
about coming into a vintage cloth
ing shop and wearing something
that someone else wore,” she said.
Anderson and her mother buy
the clothes from estate sales, auc
tions and directly from people. She
said wearing what parents and
grandparents wore is popular
mainly because styles repeat
themselves every 20 years. Ander
son said people get ideas from old
movies and current movies that
revive the ’50s and ’60s. She also
cited rebellion and interest in the
past. She pointed out that clothes
were better made in the past.
“They’ve been around forever,
and they’ll probably be around for
another forever,” she said.
As a rule, Anderson said, typi
cal customers arc college students.
She said businesswomen, older
ladies and men come in looking for
suits from the 1940s, lace and
clothes in general. Although she
has more women customers than
men, she said that as soon as the
men get in the store, they usually
become interested.
Anderson said there isn’t much
competition among the vintage
clothing stores in town.
“People just know they’re there
and go to all three,” she said.
“Every single thing in each store is
one-of-a-kind.”
Second Wind, at 718 O St., is
open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wed
nesday through Sunday.
