FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
COMMUNITY 🤝
Who is Second Down Studios for?
Second Down Studios is built for the fanatics who take a Monday off every February to watch the Super Bowl. Those who live and breathe US sports - and are tired of seeing the same old merch options at their local shopping centre.
It’s also for anyone who simply loves vintage clothing — the quality, the character, and the one-of-one feel.
Whether you’re in it for the game or the garment, Second Down Studios is for people who want to stand out, not blend in.

SIZING & CONDITION 📏
How do I know if an item will fit me?
All items are measured and sizing details are listed in the product description. We recommend comparing measurements with a similar garment you own.
Are the items new?
No — we specialise in vintage and pre-loved USA sportswear. Minor signs of wear may be present and are noted in the description. We use a grading system to categorise the condition of each garment. You can find it in the 'Customer Care' section of our footer.
RETURNS 🔄
Do you accept sizing and change of mind returns?
We accept returns for sizing or change of mind within 14 days of delivery. To lodge a return request email us at seconddownstudios@gmail.com. Items must be unworn and in original condition. Returns will be refunded via store credit.
Who pays for return shipping?
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
What if an item is faulty?
In the rare occasion that an item is faulty, please email us immediately with photos and your order number. If the item is confirmed to have a fault we will cover the cost of return postage and provide a refund or store credit.
AUTHENTICITY ✅
Are your items authentic?
Yes — all items are sourced from reliable suppliers and are carefully inspected for authenticity.
Where do you source your vintage from?
We source our pieces from a range of established Aussie wholesalers, that get all their stock direct from the US.
CIRCULAR FASHION ♻️
Is buying vintage good for the environment?
Yes. Buying vintage extends the life cycle of existing garments, reducing the demand for new production. That means less water usage, lower carbon emissions, and less textile waste ending up in landfill. Choosing pre-loved vintage pieces keeps quality clothing in circulation and out of the fast-fashion cycle.
How is Second Down Studios sustainable?
Second Down Studios is built on a circular model. We hand-source vintage USA sportswear, giving one-of-one pieces a second life instead of contributing to new manufacturing. Our goal is to keep great pieces in the game for longer.
