Re: Hard Rock Cafe shirt Toronto

Cool, I thought the logo looked a bit weird, but wasn't sure if it was just an early version or something.
Thank you very much!

Hard Rock Cafe shirt Toronto

Picked up this Hard Rock Cafe shirt, Toronto.
Wanted to know:
a) if it's authentic
b) era
c) value
It measures 21" armpit to armpit.
I searched for a bit and couldn't find anything similar.

Re: Champion t-shirts

champion sm.jpg champ zippull.jpg Came across this yesterday. This tag wasn't listed on redcloud. Similar looking tag to some of those 60s ones. But the zipper has this weird button through it, like the front button off your jeans. That has the "C" logo from the 70s Champion tags. Maybe early 70s ...

Re: Photographing Tees

I used clamshell body forms like that at work all of the time. Since they are only half a body deep, shirts always looked a bit weird on them. We use do one of two things to make them look a little bit better, tie a knot in the back shirt or use clothes pins to "tight" the shirts. I lucked into two ...

Re: 1993 Nirvana Ghost Notebook T

That shirt is from 2003.
It's a page out of Kurt Cobain's journal.
Part of his journals were released as a book in 2003.

Nothing special or rare. Few bucks.

Re: Cleaning/Restoring (New Balance 600)

Other than a good wipe down, I usually leave them as-is. As you experienced, most solvents will just damage the sneaker and make things worse. I also try to wash the old laces if they are not too shot or throw a new pair on. Spruces up the presentation. jordans bna sm.gif Just a little elbow grease ...

Re: Harley Davidson question (belt buckle)

Thanks for the quick reply.

The back reads "instyle 1980"

The way Harley was written on it reminded me of a vintage t-shirt I saw once, but of course now that I'm looking, I couldn't find anything that looked like.

I was curious if this style has a particular name.
I searched under "harley" and "eagle", and got everything else under the sun.

Re: Photographing Tees

That's a cool idea! I did a quick glance and found some cheaper alternatives on ebay (an arm that attaches on an existing stand or tripod) and found some other DIY solutions, but that definitely looks like the sturdiest. B&H also had a chrome version which was cheaper. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c ...

Re: Some Vintage Early 80’s band tees

I really dig that X shirt.

There was a X shirt from 1990 that sold for $50

But then there was another shirt "White girl", which is a song off their 1981 album Wild Gift, not sure if the shirt is from the same era, it went for $21.

Oddly enough, I found the same exact jacket today at the thrift store. Just like yours, it had no markings what so ever.

Re: 1440 label men's shirt

Never hear of "1440". I've similar fonts on shirts from the early 80s. Quick glance at ebay, someone attempted to sell a 1440 shirt, didn't sell for 99 cents.

Re: What's w/ all the vintage Americana in Malaysia/Phillipines?

I went to that Philly "Vintage Raghouse” about 2 years ago. It felt overpriced for what they offered. I didn’t buy anything. They had a lot of shirts with holes and stains, but not everything was that way. Going to a place like that takes away from the thrill of the hunt because, they run a vintage ...

Re: What's w/ all the vintage Americana in Malaysia/Phillipines?

Their t-shirt prices do seem extremely high. I guess it really depends on the selection. A good chunk of their prices seem to be inline with most thrift stores. If they truly have the volume inventory they claim, That's not bad. It would be refreshing to dig thru a pile of all vintage stuff instead ...

Funny you mention that!

I also went into stitching and fit ...

Re: USPS Shipping Advice

Those flat rate padded envelopes are great. I use them for just about everything I ship. The post office has trouble keeping them in stock from time to time.
