Apparel 75 is the only site out there offering authentic new-vintage t-shirt designs. The designs are block printed from old newspaper printing plates, scanned and then screen printed by hand on to 100% cotton American Apparel t-shirts.
Andy: These guys have quite an unusual definition of the word ‘only’ (though to be fair I haven’t heard of other brands using old newspaper printing plates), but they do have some pretty cool designs and good looking tees.

When I saw that this company was called “White Pine Patriot” I was a little worried that I’d be looking at at white supremacist clothing line (I know they exist but obviously won’t be linking to any), but I am almost entirely, completely, 100% sure that these guys just love ‘Merica and God. As usual, I’m not on board with religious shirts, they aren’t for me, but I know that there are a lot of people out there that are religious (at least five at the last count), and are totally comfortable letting people know about it in t-shirt form.
I really like the imagery of this shirt (it’s a style that runs through the whole collection), clearly it’s a style that is very appropriate for this kind of design, and printing it with discharge inks on a tri-blend is going to result in a shirt that should be softer than butter (at room temperature, it’s soft is the general point I’m trying to get across here.

Cool shirt, I think that this vintage style of design really lends itself to t-shirts.

My apologies for the small picture, but it was all the source had. That Led Zeppelin at Knebworth t-shirt sold last week for a whopping $10,000. As will have probably guessed, it is a rare t-shirt, in fact, it is apparently the rarest of all Led Zeppelin t-shirts, as it was only printed for people that had backstage passes to Led Zeppelin’s 1979 Knebworth House gigs. I can see how it would be rare, who would hold onto a t-shirt from a gig for more than 30 years and keep it in good condition (this shirt was bought by a tee dealer from the printers that made them, so I assume it was in good condition), but does that really make it worth that much money?
As much as I love my own stuff, I just don’t see someone paying $10,000 for anything from the HYA store in 30 years.
It’s not particularly cheap at $36, but you could certainly go out and spend a lot more on a lot worse. It;s a simple tee, but it’s got everything going for it, if I was walking down the street and saw someone wearing this I’d think to myself “that dude is cool.”
Costiness=$36 Buy it at CXXVI [via ATB]
