Rocco Leone on Salt City Wearhouse: Curated Vintage Clothing, Thrifting Tips, and Expanding in Syracuse Host Noah Chrysler interviews Rocco Leone, owner of Salt City Wearhouse in Syracuse, a shop curating handpicked vintage clothing and antiques from the 1930s–’90s (with some early 2000s), priced to be affordable and long-lasting. Rocco shares what he’s wearing, explains sourcing through thrifting, estate sales, and community sell-ins, and describes the store as a “mini museum” where items get a second life instead of going to landfills. He recounts how he got into vintage in 2020 and opened the shop about eight or nine months ago, noting Instagram and word of mouth as key drivers. Rocco announces his space will double starting July 1 after taking over the adjacent unit in the McCarthy Building. He also gives thrifting “secret sauce,” including identifying older tees via single-stitch construction, country of manufacture, and tag details, and provides shop hours and Instagram handle. 00:00 Vintage Passion Intro 00:13 Meet Rocco Leone 00:30 What Salt City Sells 01:09 1920s Shirt Collar History 02:28 Fit Check and Jewelry 03:35 Making Shopping Comfortable 04:37 How the Store Started 06:24 Getting Discovered Locally 07:23 Marketing That Works 10:27 Ads Inventory and SKUs 12:22 SKU System Debate 12:54 Sourcing With Purpose 14:45 Store Expansion Plans 17:08 Vintage Thrifting Tips 22:07 Pricing And Meaningful Sales 23:39 Who Shops Here 25:19 Where To Find The Shop 25:56 Studio And Sponsor Outro
