Re: Problems on Ebay with labels

I've had many legit shirts with that label. Always Euro tour shirts. The reason I understand for these being on euro blanks has to do with the crazy high import taxes artists would have to pay to bring the shirts with them across borders. Cheaper to just get them printed in that country.

Did you ever think the day would come when you'd rather find a Sonic Youth shirt in a thrift store than a 60s Beatles shirt? Geesh.

Re: Malay/Thai Buyers w/US Addresses

We've seen a bunch of those lately too. We love them. All the safety of domestic shipping but to an International Market (even though I can't even remember when our last missing International package was). We used to accept packages for Malay customers. They would have their packages sent to us and ...

Urban Outfitters Kent State sweatshirt. Wondering what everyone's opinions on this are. I'm finding that most of the articles I'm seeing aren't accurately describing what the sweatshirt actually is and that might be influencing peoples opinions.

Re: Is Italy Shipping Safe Now? What's unsafe?

I feel like the increased business of shipping everywhere more than makes up for the occasional loss. We've had way ...

Re: Towncraft JC Penney Label

1964-1971 are supposedly the years the "atomic p" was used. Much of dating Pennys stuff can be done by how they wrote Pennys. All caps Penny's with apostrophe is pre 1963. atomic p until 1971, that's when they added the JC back to it. So, if it has JCPenny, it's post 1971. (disclaimer: I'm basically ...

We never really added the tag words MAD MEN to many of our midcentury style clothing, but one we had tagged that just got removed for a policy violation. Just a heads up.

Re: Russell Southern Company?

The shirt isn't anything special (unless you're into collecting improper use of apostrophes), but I thought the tag was cool. I was thinking 70s also. The shirt definitely has that 70s feel, but was having trouble finding info on Russell Southern to match that. 100% cotton and measures 19.5" pit to ...

According to this, the Atomic P and dropped apostrophe dates the shirt to 1971 or before.

Re: Batman 1966 Tshirt

I could be wrong (and probably am), but I thought Penny's only used that style of "P", sometimes referred to as the Atomic P until the mid 70s. Also, I think it was 1970 when they dropped the apostrophe. Would love to learn more about Towncraft though.

What's your opinion on this one Jimmy? Weird to be making Bicentennial shirts years after it happened, but 1976 is super early too.

This tag reminded me of the early 80s Screen Stars tag. Sure enough, has the same RN number (RN 13765) as Screen Stars. Hot damn...another cousin.

Re: Alcatraz Beach Club Tri Blend

Tri blend sweatshirts pull a little more than other blends, but not as drastic an increase as t-shirts. Sweatshirts are more expensive to ship also, but I'd say $20 if you can actually see the word rayon on the tag and you're wiling to sit on it for a bit.
