After posting Can I Make a Vintage T-Shirt a Size Bigger? I did a little more research on the legitimacy of the Household Hacker tutorials. I used the Google, watched even more ridiculous claims, ie, How to Power a TV With a AAA Battery, and then read their YouTube feedback. My hopes of resurrecting a shirt-too-small shrunk faster than a brand new shirt in the dryer. Originally I had planned testing this on many different t-shirts, varying in age, fabric blends, even color – complimented by a photo shoot during the various stages. Instead, I kept-it-simple-stupid and tested it on a 100% cotton ... Read more

As a kid I always admired Agassi.. well, to be honest, I more admired his outfits and his shoes then the game he was playing.  Although, the Air Tech Challenge I and II are my favorites, I am always fascinated by the ATC III. I had to wait 20 years before i could finally have the complete set of his “neon” time, although I am still missing the bandana and the spandex innershorts which apparently somebody cut out these new shorts…. Yes I am a fanatic!

If you’re a vintage tshirt enthusiast then you probably have a t-shirt or two that’s a wee bit small. Well, according the this video I found on YouTube, the “Household Hackers” can assist you with your little problem. If this is real, it’s incredible news for the world of vintage t-shirts. Vintage sizing has become so out dated – a vintage XL is basically only a medium by today’s standards. This means those who wear modern day large and XL’s sadly can’t rock out in a true vintage tee. Or can they? This video shows a 100% cotton tee “expanding ... Read more

I purchased both of these t-shirts on eBay from different sellers who had an array of vintage t-shirts up for auction. Based on how they were listed, described and photographed, I bought them under the assumption they were true vintage articles. Ooooops! Yes, even me, the guy who authored three guides on how to shop for a genuine vintage t-shirt on eBay, got duped! How could this happen? Well, truth be told, the most important factor on determining if a shirt is genuine can only be done while it’s in your possession. Pictures, descriptions, and other methods can deceive even ...
