Play Deep

January 16, 2012 by Jimmy J · Leave a Comment  


The vintage t-shirt model seems to be going the way of extinction on eBay so from time to time we’re going to showcase a few live ones. Meet one of the many models from eBay store DanceSportProShop. She’s sporting a vintage tee from The Outfield‘s debut album “Play Deep” which was released in 1985 and contained their hit, “Your Love.” Their tour t-shirts aren’t all that common, but not particularly in demand either.

We’re not big fans of yellow based tees or the front design – but it’s never looked as interesting that’s for sure. Are those tassels inspired by Macho Man? Ohhhhh Yeeeeahh!

Please let us know if you stumble on a vintage t-shirt model (girl or boy) who catches your eye.

Doomsday Sale!

Earth, it was fun while it lasted. But facts are facts and now it’s time to pack it in. If you saw the movie 2012 you got a sneak preview into what will take place sometime this year. True Story. Doomsday-sayers haven’t been this certain of end days since 1999 and it’s increasingly difficult to continue ignoring their false predictions. It’s time to take heed because the last thing any of us want to hear while the world is crumbling under our very feet is “I told you so!”

We just broke the news of the pending apocalypse to our favorite sellers and they’re all panicking. As a result all of their merchandise is now on sale. Translation: total annihilation for all of us means big savings for you!

Mission ImBossible

January 10, 2012 by Jimmy J · 3 Comments  

Go check out MI:4 and you’ll notice a poly/cotton cameo by Bruce Springsteen. After aborting a mission inside the Kremlin Ethan Hunt sheds his disguise as a high ranking Russian official into a nerdy American tourist complete with glasses, a map and this Born in the USA tour tee.

But is it real or a repro commissioned for the flick? We’re definitely familiar with the design. And it has some true vintage qualities- ie the design fade and a stretched neck as if the tee had taken a pounding over the years. But like the world of Mission Impossible nothing in film making is what it seems.

There’s no reason Cruise couldn’t fit into a genuine vintage t-shirt – he’s not exactly Arnold Schwarzenegger sized. But some stars have an aversion to wearing used clothing – Peter Fonda reportedly refused to wear vintage during the height of his career forcing costume designers to reproduce his clothes. Boo!

Check out what true vintage Bruce Springsteen Tees are available on Defunkd!
