Yeah, I've never seen one not on a jersey either. I think Deadstock vintage parking lot bootleg. What else did the vendor have for sale? How much was it? Did they have more than one? Given you got it at a flea market, I doubt they would go through the extra trouble of finding a genuine vintage brand...

Are you sure it's not 17?

This write-up claims the new Velva Sheen line has taken off in Japan:

I heard they are on sale at K-Mart. Best burn ever!! (If you're 8 years old). There's a vintage shop here in Toronto that sells true vintage but if they ever come across blanks at a mill they just print retro stuff on them. Same thing, simple one color prints. Maybe he's a dummy and doesn't realize ...

Not sure about Larry, but looks like he owned a jet-ski rental operation from the beach.

Hey speaking of whats hot in Japan...pocket tees...have you heard of the Velva Sheen brand pocket tee?

How do these people sleep at night?!

Well, it's not working out so well for them....everything sells for $6. Still cheaper than buying a real repro at the mall.

We did a pretty detailed guide a few years back... http://www.defunkd.com/2009/02/18/ultimate-vintage-t-shirt-stain-removal-guide/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Although it looks like a fade not a stain. You can always dye your shirts, it's controversial but this gentleman...

Darn good idea. I'll work on that..I'm doing an update to the forum shortly. In other news...here's a guy who prints on vintage tees...add him to the list: silvertrainvintage http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=silvertrainvintage&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true&q...

no one is offended! you didn't say anything offensive.

cool - good to know, thanks!

what is the name of that book? I want to see what else they have in it.

Looks legit to me. S.V. shirts have dipped a little...$20-40 maybe.
