From Broadway to Vintage Ralph Lauren | Albany News

Laird Mackintosh, a former Broadway actor turned vintage Ralph Lauren guru, launched Thoroughbred New York in Kingston, NY — the U.S.’s only store dedicated solely to vintage RL pieces. Inspired by his teenage obsession with the brand in 1985, he pivoted from acting to curating a dreamy, appointment-only boutique that sources rare gems from collectors worldwide. The pandemic sparked his online launch, which exploded thanks to Instagram buzz and high-profile collabs like Nili Lotan’s pop-up. Even Ralph Lauren noticed — sending their editorial team for a feature and even reimagining one of Mackintosh’s iconic crests on a robe. His shop isn’t just selling clothes — it’s resurrecting Americana’s golden era of style, proving nostalgia is the hottest trend in fashion.
