Don’t Fear the Reaper, Fear the Repro

  A few years back I authored a couple of eBay guides to shopping for a genuine vintage t-shirt. They have been very well received, viewed over 35,000 times and rated 92% helpful by readers. Unfortunately, the eBay system’s limitations prevented me from authoring the guides exactly how I wanted. Well, I just updated them with the latest info on forgery techniques and decked them out with tons of new photos including a vintage brand gallery. These three guides will remain static resource pages on the right hand side of the blog, or check them out here: Vintage T-Shirts 101: eBay ... Read more

Vintage Western Shirt Pioneer Passes Away

Jack A. Weil the CEO of Rockmount Ranchwear passed away on Wednesday August 20th, 2008.  When I first heard of his passing, I assumed it was the result of a fist fight in some saloon, or that he lost a gun draw at high noon. Isn’t that the way most cool cowboys go? But at age 107 any rough and tumble days were far behind him. No, he didn’t shoot the sheriff or even maim the deputy. His battles were fought as the top gun of his company, the still active CEO and eldest CEO in America. “Papa Jack” Weil ... Read more
