Shopping & Products
How often do you add new pieces?
We drop new inventory monthly. The drop goes live on the website and we send an email to subscribers at the same time. Subscribers always get first access. Sign up at the bottom of the homepage.
Are all your items really one of one?
Yes. Every piece we sell is a single unique item. We do not carry multiples or restock sold items. When something sells it is gone.
How do you authenticate brand name items?
We check every branded item manually before listing. We look at tags and labels and hardware and fabric quality and stitching. If we are ever uncertain about authenticity we do not list it as that brand.
What do the condition grades mean?
Excellent means no visible flaws and the item looks nearly new. Good means minor signs of wear with all flaws disclosed and photographed. Fair means visible wear or specific flaws fully described and priced accordingly.
Can I request a specific item or brand?
We cannot guarantee sourcing requests but we love hearing what you are looking for. Send us a message through the Contact page and we will keep an eye out. If we find something that matches we will reach out before it goes live.
What is a reworked item?
Reworked items are pieces we have altered or transformed. This could mean we tailored the hem/fit, added a patch/repaired a hole, dyed or reworked the item entirely. Every rework is an original SportyStar design and is clearly labeled with all modifications described in the listing.

Returns & Condition
What is your return policy?
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery for items significantly not as described. All sales are final for fit preference or change of mind. Items with disclosed flaws are sold as-is. See our Returns page for full details.
How should I care for vintage athletic wear?
Cold wash on a gentle cycle and air dry when possible. If you do choose to throw them in the dryer, choose the lowest heat possible. Avoid high heat as it degrades elastic and can shrink vintage fabrics. For reworked items with embroidery or print wash inside out.
How do I know exactly what I am getting?
Every listing includes multiple high quality photos including a flat lay, a styled shot and a detail or flaw shot. Each listing also includes a written description with measurements and specific flaw disclosures.
