My coming of age began in earnest on June 30, 1996, in Pecatonica, IL, at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds near Rockford. Desperately trying to do things that would be considered cool by fellow grade school classmates, I bought tickets to attend Lollapalooza, which at the time was a traveling music festival. Parodied by The Simpsons and embraced by the MTV generation, it captured the zeitgeist during the pre-internet days in the late 1900’s. Along with my two buddies, we’d somehow convinced one of their mothers to drive us over 100 miles from home so they could spend the day sitting ... Read more

@ralliroots recently contacted us after repeatedly noticing members of the community mislabeling the various types of t-shirts in the vintage universe. Let’s all get on the same page about these definitions, shall we? We’ve elaborated on our list of vintage t-shirt definitions with actual examples to set the record straight. And don’t worry, it is a touch confusing… What’s an Authentic Vintage T-Shirt? An authentic, real, true, or genuine vintage t-shirt is at least 20 years old. If two decades have passed since its manufacture, it’s authentic vintage, regardless of whether it’s an original, a reissue, a bootleg or throwback ... Read more

Welcome to a special Red Hot Chili Peppers edition of Heat Check. These are the highest selling vintage RHCP tees on eBay over the last three years. Some ground rules before we get into the list: These are the highest sale of each design. Some of these designs have sold for a few times but we only included the highest sale of each design. I don’t personally authenticate these t-shirts, nor does Defunkd, but you can use our forum to get your goodies checked. I do my best to confirm the transaction is real, but that doesn’t mean that it ... Read more

Buying an original T-shirt can be tricky, but nothing beats having in hand the original you bought at the time. This is particularly true if you bought it directly from the band via mail order, as is the case here. Now, that might be an impossible bar to overcome for many, but for a T-shirt hoarder and folder like me, who tends to obsess, this is an easy one. From the first time I saw them live, I loved Spacemen 3. So, in 1988/1989, I wrote to the address on the back of the record sleeve, and in return, I ... Read more
