A while back we teamed up weforest.org for a tree planting initiative. Every t-shirt that was sold through Defunkd was backed by the planting of one tree by weforest. Vintage tees are green symbols as is – scoring points in the Reuse department. So we enhanced their green appeal by making the buyers and sellers involved in a Defunkd transaction “Tee Planters.” We’re happy to report that during this partnership 2000 tees were sold and a small forest was planted! Thanks to everyone who participated! Sincerely, Jimmy J Defunkd Founder

Our pals over at The Captain’s Vintage are expanding their fleet with a line of Captain branded tees. They just launched a crowd-sourcing campaign on Kickstarter which offers tiered rewards for donations of 5 or more bucks. The video attached to the campaign is awesomelarious (awesome and hilarious.) It got an early nod from the Academy for best retro: visual effects, sound and editing. There’s also a Commodore 64 cameo, the exact same model we have at our vintage HQ. If you’ve ever wondered what The Captain’s quarters looked like this video gives you a sneak peek inside a vintage ... Read more

What the eff are Defunkd Deals, you ask? During these trying economic times we’re pledging to give you the lowest prices on vintage t-shirts. To make this possible the last few weeks we’ve been back on the hunt through mills and thrift stores to stockpile a nice little inventory that we’re pricing ridiculously low. And by ridiculous we mean we’ll be scanning eBay for the same tee and reducing our price by around 50%. Maybe even more. And yes there will be plenty of name brand band tees! In queue is the 1980s Ozzy tee above. The cheapest one we ... Read more
