Long time lurker. Thought I'd add some context on some of these shirts. 


• Reagan in Berlin tee:
My wife is the original owner of this one. Both of her parents were Air Force, so she grew up in Germany/West Berlin. She left the year before the wall came down, which still feels wild to say out loud. This shirt has just lived its life since then.


• Farrah Fawcett tee + Harley tank
These were originally my mom’s. She passed them on to my wife in the early 2000s. The tees are likely early ’80s, and the Harley tank could be a little earlier — possibly ’78 or ’79.


• Golden Gloves tee (1996)
I placed either 3rd or 4th in the 1996 Golden Gloves and all I got was this T-shirt… and a bruised ego. Tournament was in August at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Missouri — over 100°, smelled like livestock, and somehow nobody died of heat exhaustion that day.


• ... And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead / Rage Against the Machine / West Memphis 3 tees. These land around the early 2000s. 

I played in a instrumental post rock band in the early 2000s and I have a bunch of t-shirts from other bands we played shows with and several of other bands that I liked, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, At the Drive-in, Sparta, Thursday, Blood Brothers, Explosions in the Sky, Russian Circles, etc. But they're not quite vintage yet.
