Nike Nostalgia

Sorry for the lack of posts on the forums, looks like there's been some good convo going on. I was reading the article the other day about the South Butt tees and am currently conjuring up something about copyright laws and what not as we have questions asked all the time about some of our originals ...

Re: Is this tag from the 80?

Frank is right on about the NAFTA effect. This has been a huge ordeal with laborers in third world countried for nearly 15 years now. Nike has been through a lot of shit with labor laws and what not. In doing research a little while back I learned that a couple factories i Honduras that Nike was ...

Re: Looking for a brand of shirt....

Dude, if you're looking for blanks I know that either vintage villian or ghettovintage (i think one of the same) scored thousands of deadstock vintage threads from Screen Stars to Ched, to like Healthknit type stuff.

Re: Could A Wholesale Lot of Mixed Vintage Do Well on Ebay?

Like anything else there are pros and cons. I saw a vintage concert/harley lot from ABS (theraghouse) a couple weeks ago that had 41 pieces in it of pretty legit stuff that sold for $500+. This means they sold for over $12 per piece. Potentially this could be very good for someone who takes in ...

Re: SUPER HORRIBLE EBAY SELLER: BEWARE!!!

As a seller I sometimes put up wholesale lots because it does take a lot of time to picture and post single items everyday. However I usually put pictures of every shirt or close to every shirt because I have learned that if you don't and you stock your lots with a bunch of crap beyond the tees in ...

Yo peeps, what are your thoughts on this Billy Satellite tee. It's fairly obscure considering they didn't stick around too long.

Re: Best Books on Vintage Tees/Clothing?

By the far the best vintage books are the My Freedamn series. Tons and tons of useful information with some awesome good looks. Definitely the mecca for all things vintage. Somewhat expensive, but I actually found one for ten bucks at a savers. Obviously I was super stoked. Also there is a japanese ...

The Best Place To Find A Vintage Tee in.....

So I was doing some traveling this week for the holiday. Visiting some family in Arkansas I was stoked to hit up some new thrift stores and vintage shops in the area. We were somewhat short on time so I didn't get too far into things, but found some decent stuff nonetheless. I was thinking though ...

Holy shit man, you're totally right. How could I forget such a thing. Thanks for the heads up. It definitely helps having my vintage homies give me their feedback. Can I use your pic? I only have a couple pics of the pinwheel tag and they aren't worthy.

Still curious about Midwest? I know some of you have worked with Midwest including the VP's. As for Hermosa, do a sample order. They are more than willing to help you out because they want you as a customer. One of the better sorters in their vintage section quit so it's not as good, but I can give ...

One struggle I have as a seller and I'm sure some of you do as well, but what are some methods you use for outsourcing some of the crap you receive. If you aren't cherry picking you are bound to get some stuff you can't use, especially from bales. For example, a lot of you guys have messed with ...

This is why vintage is so fun to mess with. Probably not worth a whole lot, but still a cool bar tee to rock out. What do you all think?
