I don’t comment on sites very often, but I must say that this is an excellent list of retro and vintage styled sites. Great list!

Especially enjoyed Thrush’s logo and Jared Cambell’s design :)

I love anything with Dolly Parton. I’d hate to refer to her as vintage or retro, but…

Rafael Cotta

Kev Jaques

Really nice collection, some do not lend themselves well to usability but still works of art, I love attention to detail and texturing/contrast can make a huge difference.

Pieter

I am in complete agreement, these are some really fantastic designs. I love Mactarnahans Brewery, absolute class. The work of Jeff Sarmiento is also very inspiring.

The best part of this list is the additional resources and inspiration from unseen stuff, best I get my Stumble on…

BenSky

Jane Harrell

Kevin

Wade Jackman

Very inspiring collection, I particularly love the 2nd one.

Sandy

Very nice collection. Wonderful vintage look.

Brad Blackman

I’m surprised FontDiner.com didn’t make the list. Otherwise, a pretty nice collection, although a few are debatable whether they fall into the “retro” category. Which really begs the question, “What makes something retro?” Is it the colors, the texture, the typefaces used? I daresay some of these venture into “grunge” more than “retro.” Again, good list of nice sites with a common thread.

This king of retro and vintage look is clearly a trend now, that a lot of people are going for. When it´s done well it can produce some great results, as can be seen by this collection of sites. Besides that, it´s allways good to look back to the way graphicc design was made, without the kind of tools we have at our hands today, and learn something from it.

Jorge

Wow, it’s a wonderful style design!! I like this one Gioseppo

Dietmar

Nice list, but most of them are well known since the article @ smashingmagazine.com

Jeff

Great to be listed along side some fantastic looking websites. Thanks.

Jan Brašna

I’m not entirely sure if you can file this as «retro», but http://CubanCouncil.com/ definitely has some oldskoolish look to it. Besides that the folks are legends.

Karol Stofira

… really, really nice vintage and retro sites…

Jacquelyn

This is great. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at retro, and been looking for some inspiration. This will definitely do the trick!

Andrew

If theme is too strong it tends to overwhelm the portfolio’s – a fail. Some good work here though… not quite sure about the heavy cashing in on the war theme, but hey, if you’re in Texas I do understand! I think the designs that work are ones that excercise restraint on the theme. Balance between an intricate theme and clean, clear, uncomplicated presentation of content.

Jenny Pilley

Although it is based on retro designs, they look so fresh and ironically modern. The clarity of the designs and the impressive work gone into to them is incredible. I do love the retro look and to have it incorporated into web design is refreshing to see and a trend that i think will surely take off.
