I appreciate a quality old school item.
I can get down with some old ass tshirt.
But you know what’s nice about an old tshirt? You can throw it in the washing machine. Or better yet, you can wash it by hand with some woolite.
A hat? Not so easy to clean up.
But if I was to get down with some vintage hats, this is the hat I would get into.
Sick Of It All. Embroidered. Not a cheap option. Very chill.
Rat Pack.
Dudes go crazy for this bands shit. Shirts are so popular. Did the have this kinda status when they were around or did this all happen post breakup? i have a shirt that looks kinda like this but it has US tour dates on the back. I picked it up when they played at the “Hangover House” in CT. small show, not too many people but I was impressed and copped the merch and a 7″. Good to see people havent forgotten about them
Earlier this year, I was walking the streets of Las Vegas. I was trying my best to walk from the Mirage to the Undftd/Stussy shop location. Sadly, my phone had no GPS and I wasn’t yet wise to the Google Cell Tower wisdom.
I walked down some street feeling I was going the right way, but started to second guess myself. I turned back after passing someone smoking a butt. I asked this person if I was going the right direction, and they said I was.
Then I realized they were wearing this Terror shirt. Turns out it was some dude who had moved west, but at one point, he had interned at B9. I got to catch him up on all sorts of people he hadn’t heard about in a while.
Sadly, he had already sold all his shit on ebay. Weak. A stack full of tees would have been better than any Stussy tee I would buy that day.
Small world, no doubt.
Back in 2006, the Gorilla Biscuits reunited.
Say what you will about reunions, but I had a damn fun time.
GB had reunited a few times over the years. The GB reunion in 2005 at CBGBs certainly sparked their interest making the 2006 reunion tour a reality.
This was the big time. And because it was the big time, it also came with big time merch. Paul Frank stepped up and did a few tees (they also did some wallets and belts and more schwag. Lets forget about those for now).
This shirt seemed cooler than the other one to me (where the other one was the GB S/T EP drawing with the Julius Monkey head. That one just seemed too cartoony for me).
Bling.
