Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #29: Dweezil Zappa Year: 1987 Circulation: Rarer than a Dweezil Zappa hit. Don’t love him for being the offspring of Frank Zappa. Don’t love him because of his ridiculous name. Don’t love him because he was fired from MTV for badmouthing the channel on Howard Stern’s show. Don’t love him for his cameos in Pretty in Pink and The Running Man. Love him for his collaboration with musician Don Johnson.

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #27: The Arsenio Hall Show Year: 1989 Circulation: Minimal A.H. began his career as a stand-up comedian in L.A. who landed plenty of T.V. work including a stable gig voicing Winston for The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.

The program was canceled after one season so we’re assuming their surplus of tees ended up in a storage locker that was abandoned and then sold off four decades later. Sadly, even though they are Sportswear XLs (46!) – they max out at 19.25″ chests – in deadstock condition. Given ... Read more

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #25: Doctor Who Year: late 1980s Circulation: Rarer than a mortally wounded Time Lord. Sorry Trekkies, this fact is set to stun: Doctor Who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as not only the longest running sci-fi television show, but the most successful in terms of ratings. This relic represents the golden era of Who featuring the first six actors to portray the good doctor. I watched quite a few of the Tom Baker era episodes as a child and I usually had no ...

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #8: Elvira Year: Early 1980s Circulation: Scarily scarce. In the spirit of Halloween we offer the first lady of horror immortalized on a vintage tee. During my teenage years I tuned in to Elvira all the time and I admit I was scared stiff.
