Formula Vintage's "shop local, think global" slogan has become infamous in the Calgary Vintage scene. Founder Joshua Tattrie has been the main man of the operation since its inception in 2020.
The man behind FVC
Joshua Tattrie launched Formula Vintage in Calgary, Alberta, in 2020 with a simple goal: Bring sharp, fashion-forward vintage to people who actually know how to wear it. What started as a small side hustle has grown into a full-time obsession, with curated drops ranging from classic sneakers to rare jackets, hats, and streetwear pieces you won’t find anywhere else. His eye for detail and his instinct for what’s next has turned Formula Vintage into a go-to destination for collectors, stylists, and anyone who wants to stand out without shouting.
Though the shop began in Canada, Formula Vintage Clothing has made moves across borders, operating in both Calgary and Florida to connect with vintage lovers on both sides of the line. Joshua’s ambition doesn’t stop with clothing—he’s also the force behind Diesel Records, where he produces and champions artists who push sonic boundaries the same way he pushes style.
