Midwest Trader

I’m not one to leave bad reviews but this felt necessary, and more so a warning to maybe not ask any questions when at this store as I just came in planning to buy a bunch of bandit tees but couldn’t see the ones I was looking for and simply asked if they were the only ones and the woman went off at me I felt so uncomfortable I don’t often encounter people being so rude toward me as id never be like that so I left in a hurry and received another rude remark whilst leaving.
Maybe she was having a bad day, but I don’t plan on returning as everything in there can be found a lot cheaper online anyway.
If you read this, be nice. It’s so important. And if you were having a bad day, I hope it gets better :)

The shop attendant we was quick to walk over and say hello to me, which was nice.
On my way out I so badly wanted to snag a $ 45 cap.
The clothing here isn’t the best fashion I’ve ever seen but I would say that if you’re into looking hardcore, gangsta mindset, then you would pay homage to Midwest Trader. When you can afford it, indulge in this store!
My shopping experience at Midwest Trader was cool, that’s all I have to say!
The store was chilled out and relaxing. Oh, I love those basketball caps…

I’ve reviewed a few Rundle Street business and this is just another one that seems to have been there for forever and a day. So shimmy Your Americana loving butt in to here and get yourself some cool new threads. The range is cool, cool and a little pricey and you could probably source things cheaper online bit it definitely allows you to get up close and personal with the garments and accessories before saving your dollars and eBaying them. Some one most be buying in here right if they’re still open.

Tucked away behind the business of Rundle Street, Midwest Trader is a real hidden gem. Since its establishment in 1992 by owners Jad and Kate, the store has become a specialist in alternative and vintage fashion.
With regular imports directly from the USA and UK, Midwest Trader has a lot on offer — ranging from classic varsity jackets and rockabilly styles to punk t-​shirts and alternative accessories. Their large range of imported hair pomades is an added bonus to complete that blast-​from-​the-​past look. The friendly staff and quirky décor will make your shopping experience an absolute delight, setting it apart from the clinical manner of other designer stores. You’re guaranteed not to leave empty-​handed!

So, who wants some overpriced band merchandise!!!
Midwest Trader is nestled behind Rundle Street, just off Union St.
There is a wall with some amazing street art on the shops street-​facing wall, that’s the best way to find it!
On top of their massive range of gold-​priced band merchandise, Midwest stock a really cool range of belt buckles and fashion accessories.
They also have a full range of Dickies clothing, as far as I’m aware it’s one of the only places in Adelaide to get it, other than a few skate shops.
The stores décor is an intriguing fusion of modern alternative and Western American (Cowboy) style. You can buy some amazing quality «cowboy boots» and «cowboy hats» (I’m sorry to those western conoisseurs who I have just no doubt committed blasphemy to).
Midwest are also one of the only stockists of Macbeth shoes in Adelaide.
The staff are always very friendly and helpful, oh and attractive too!

Rockabilly chicks, scene kids, and hipsters alike rejoice for the brilliant selection at Midwest. Cantering to all tastes and styles, it’s a one stop shop for your new look.
Stocking the brands that make the world shake, and accessories that will give you that little extra flair. I’m a big fan of their band shirt collection, RUN DMC being my personal choice of T-​Shirt logo.
The staff are always helpful in working out sizes etc.

Old americana is the best way to describe this popular alternative store. Stocking men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, Midwest Trader is the go to store for exclusive grunge, scene, metal, rockabilly and pinup styled clothing.
Stock is mostly imported from America and the UK, with popular brands such as Wheels & Dollbaby, Dickies, Black Market, Vans, Macbeth and so on. Be prepared to have the dollars out and ready because this stuff is not cheap. I remember looking at a basic Wheels & Dollbaby cardigan once and seeing three digits, I think I freaked out and left the store.
This place is great for a look around, with lots of pinup wear to entice the girls, and band t-​shirts, caps and varsity jackets for the boys. The workers are helpful and friendly, and usually covered in amazing tattoos.
