Re: Grateful Dead and the BLUES BROTHERS!

Hey ItsKosher just a little heads up for ya' I would have some real concerns about paying $500 for that tee. It looks like a recent reproduction. T-shirts were not cut like that in 1978 (tees from the 70's were usually cut very slim as I'm sure you're already aware) and typically not heavy-duty 100%...

Re: Japanese Ebay Bidders With Private Feedback

Pretty funny, but pretty smart as well. I don't know how Rainbow Gasoline does it. That business model seems pretty tough.

Agreed! Faded black 70's / 80's tees are the best.

Re: wearing vintage shirts- care suggestions?

I forgot about that awesome post you did on stain removal Jimmy. On the printing process, you're right...there are so many factors involved. Quality of the garment, ink, printing and cure time all play a role in how the tee stands up over time. Preferably if done right, a good screen printed tee sho...
