The Flying Worm

Always a great selection and the inventory is never stale. If you’re looking for something in particular, the owners will go the extra mile to find what you’re looking for. The prices can’t be beat, definitely a must see when in town and in the Old Market.

Unique store. Very friendly staff, lots of unique vintage clothes. Was a little disappointed that the sizes only seemed to come in s, m, l. No XL that I could find but would definitely stop again.

Love the design of this store! The layout is beautiful. Is this stuff retro, or new made to look retro, I’m confused but I don’t care… cause I like it!
Lots of fun stuff here from clothes, to jackets, to hats, to boots, to sun glasses, to bags! Fun colors and a very nice staff!
This place had some rocking music playing and It felt like a party atmosphere! Sounds like a fun place to work and shop!

Fun! Especially fun if you’re looking for sturdy clothes that don’t cost an arm and a leg. I get a kick checking out the stuff I wore in my 20’s and wished I’d kept. Great leather. Great boots. Denim is, of course, always in.

Jani — it’s funny but kind of pathetic when a competitor comes on here and tries to act like a customer and give a bad rating.

Lots of cool vintage clothing. Prices are a little higher but you are getting higher quality items. I was lucky enough to find several Lacoste polos my size that were in perfect shape. They were late 1980s but had 0 holes and looked like they had never been worn. I was surprised they weren’t fakes.
They have a really nice selection of old school leather jackets and apparel. Lots of accessories as well. I will continue to keep coming here, the staff is friendly and they have a nice selection.

I don’t understand the «hippie-​dippie» comment in terms of vintage clothing from the late 60’s — mid 70’s. The «dippies» were those who went disco before morphing into yuppies who followed aimlessly into whatever a trend was. No personal convictions, just trendies. To me that’s rather dippie rather than remaining true to oneself.

Cute place, some unique items. Fun, courteous help. For vintage and local art, I prefer Odd Bird Collective — 72 and Harrison.

Prices are pretty good and a lot to choose from. Not everything is used but they have vintage style clothes!

Love this place!!! I got these killer camel colored riding boots and one of the staff showed me this vintage side cross body brown vintage coach bag that I had to get. They have quite a bit of new items that I always want to get but have to resist.
Go here if you don’t mind used clothes… hello! They will have a smell. If you are a serious shopper and have a good eye, you will find something great here. Of course, some days you might find something, and other days you won’t…like any other store. I like the fact that there are small sizes too bc I can actually fit in something! It’s hard for me to find cool stuff at goodwill bc everything is so big.
To me, prices were very reasonable… but then again I shop a lot so not your average shopper.

the best store in THE WORLD! its amazing. they have amazing employees, great clothes, and an amazing setup. i would defenitly rate it as a 5. i think that there clothes are in great quality, and all of the employees are really nice.

As basically the most all-​knowing vintage lover of all time, I’ve devised my own way of breaking down a vintage store. Behold…
Eras:
1970’s-1990’s are most prevalent, with a few stragglers in the mix. Half of the store is new clothing, but I never pay much attention to new items.
For whom:
Women, men
Sizes:
Smallish sizes.
Prices:
Very reasonable.
Condition:
Very good.
Customer service:
Very nice and helpful.
Pros:
Located in a great, historic part of town.
They have a very specific hippie/​ethnic aesthetic and the new and old clothing go well together.
Cons:
I would have loved to see more expensive items. The kind that I’d want to add to my collection… some really special pieces. Everything in the store was very average, casual wear.
aaaaand scene!

Let me start by saying I’m not typically a vintage shopper. I’m more of a JCrew gal than a vintage gal. But, I was walking around with my Little Sis last week and we needed to get out of the heat, so we wandered in. The front of the store and the back portion to the left is all vintage. We picked up a few things and laughed at them. She tried on a few hats and sunglasses and looked crazy cute, but not things that we could wear in the «real world.» But then, to my delight, we found that off to the back on the right, there is a whole section of newer clothes. They look like they might be made by someone here in Omaha — all cute, cute clothes. All under $ 35. Mostly sundresses and skirts with a bit of funk, but very, very wearable. So my J. Crew self bought a cute little skirt for $ 25 (although I cut the funky buttons off the front) and would have bought a couple dresses too if I hadn’t just hit up J. Crew and Urban Outfitters this week. I wore the skirt today and had several compliments, plus a couple requests to know where the store is — which is why I’m on help (looking up the address) at the moment. So, I just wanted to post this review so people would know they have a section that isn’t strictly vintage, albeit with a touch of vintage feel. When I need cute summer dresses, I’ll check that section out again. Or, maybe, they’ll have a fall line too?

I love this little vintage shop across from Ted and Wally’s in the Old Market. They have a wide selection of men’s and women’s clothing, as well as shoes and accessories (plus some really great sunglasses!). Their prices are pretty decent, although you could probably find similar items at a thrift store for cheaper prices, albeit with a lot more searching involved. However, the music and atmosphere in The Flying Worm is so much better — do yourself a favor and check it out.

under-​impressed.
Does Omaha really need another hippie-​dippy shop? Clothes are similar to what you’d find at retro recycle or weird wild stuff, nothing special or unique going on here. Items are very costumey and tiny-​size wise. good luck finding something that you could wear in real life.
This is not topnotch vintage. There were stains and holes on lots of items.
I did try on a pair of pants –my mistake-​and swear i I got a rash from them. i would not be surprised since they get their clothes from those clothing donation boxes and from the overflow that thrift stores can’t take. Careful not to catch a worm if you’re going to shop there!
