A brand spanking new vintage t-shirt book was released today and it looks promising. The author was inspired by the all-too-common nightmare of having his beloved t-shirt collection discarded by his mother. For the last 20+ years he’s been on a mission to relive his youth via poly-cotton, which the better part of was spent growing up too fast all over Sunset Strip. The book offers a visual history told through the rarest of the rare one-off t-shirts.
We’re in the process of acquiring a review copy from the publishers for the fifth installment in our series of vintage t-shirt book reviews. If you’re too excited to wait until the verdict is out, copies are available now through Amazon.
