Very true, I have a customer in Malaysia who messages me once a week asking if I have any cotton/poly/rayon shirts. Something I also started learning since I got on etsy.

Absolutely. Malays and Thais are valued customers :) I guess rayon blend t-shirts are very popular out there since they are incredibly soft, flexible, and cool. :?:

as i know..this joe camel shirt became popular because it was worn by one of The Strokes member..and lot of Malaysian teenagers like that band..that was before vintage shirt invade our country..now when we are crazy about vtg..this shirt become more popular as it come with rayon blend which are more rare then any other blend..

that was my opinion..i’m not a joe camel fan..i’ll go after vtg punk tee..

The tag name is Silkworm. I had like 4 old Joe Camel shirts with this same label, and like an idiot included 2 of them in a cheap unsold lot years ago :( . I still have them boxed up somewhere. Need to look for them now.
