Re: Forgotten Film Shirts

On a completely different end of the cinematic scale... a 1988 Soviet Cinema retrospective, from back when the Toronto fest was still called the Festival of Festivals. Pretty slammin' design, if I may say so. So many of my fave obscure T's were from my fat period and were ditched when I dropped 40 ...

Re: Forgotten Film Shirts

Mozart was so lazy, he forgot to finish a symphony. Buddy Cooper has more stick-to-it-ive-ness, and is thus the greater genius.

Polo Sport Shortsleeve

My first foray into lo-lifery: A Polo Sport shortsleeve. XL alas, but in decent enough condition save for the faint bleedthrough from the sleeve rings. I haven't seen the P'Sport stuff in summer varieties- is it mostly a fall/winter thing? Or will this get me major scratch or even minor scratch once ...

Re: 90's Metallica

Pretty much everything I get these days (on a very limited basis compared to the olden times) is getting stashed away until May: then I have a big sale and get me some stuff I've been craving. As I recall, that G'N'R'N'MTCA shirt did okay at Christmas, didn't it? I don't want to bother with auctions ...

90's Metallica

Found this beaut today- was hoping it was worth major scratch, but alas, hits $35-50 with the sellers (which is totally cool, just not the home run I fantasized). Was never much of a metalhead (though I'm starting to acquire the taste), and remembered "The Unforgiven" being early 90s- but the song ...

Re: Black Flag T Shirt REALLY 1985 or NOT?

The logo itself may date back to 1985, but not the shirt: if they hadn't altered the logo to any serious degree, they may not have bothered to re-copyright it. I had an 80's shirt of a flyer for a Santana/Janis Joplin concert once, and it was copyrighted 1968. I'm guessing it's the same kind of thing.

Forgotten Film Shirts

This is my recently-acquired "The Blue and the Grey" shirt- an obscure 1982 CBS TV movie with Stacy Keach in the lead and Gregory Peck as Lincoln (just like in every other movie he made). Had no idea it existed, let alone merited this amazing crew shirt- found it looking for bargoons on the 'bay ...

Re: Haight Ashbury Free Clinics- 90s

Turns out that free clinic was the first of its kind in the USA- and spearheaded the whole movement towards free clinics. Sort of wondering if I should give it up now: as someone with a long reliance on free medical care (including those selfsame clinics), it's a nice tip of the hat.

Kind of nice, great condition, Winterland tag- surely some diehard hippie will dig on this to the tune of, say $25?

Wu Tang Forever

Found this at the thrift shop downstairs (which may or may not be closing forever on Saturday), and I so seldom chance on hip-hop shirts that I felt obliged to put it up. Question: Wu Tang aren't that old (though 13 years old for the album is just the bare edge of scarcity), and eBay is lousy with ...

Re: $1500 Deep Throat

A lot of questionable shirts and questionable prices in that store: a suspicious dependence on one-colour prints (granted, on waaaay back in the day shirts). Plus, that Police shirt: $600? CAH-MAN!

The horror (or not?) of non-vintage t-shirts

There's a lot of talk about current shirts- the big, chunky 100% cotton shirts generally shunned by shirties- as being "low quality", or otherwise the garment of choice for lieutenants of Satan. I figured that a combination of nostalgia and the good-feeling softness/stretchiness of the classic 50/50 ...
