Lots of sucky items here. I'm especially enamored with the art on those Vintage Vacuum Cleaner bags. Woo hoo vacuuming!

march madness treasury

Super fun new treasury highlighting NCAA men's basketball: March Madness.

Featuring SHV Michigan State t-shirt.

I love this treasury - the tiger, the hand-held video game, the stein, the Oaks button, the coasters...

Awesome job of curating, Le Saispas!

a flock of t-shirts

flock (noun) - finely powdered wool, cloth, etc., used for producing a velvet-like pattern on wallpaper or cloth or for coating metal.

many vintage t-shirts in the 70s and 80s were personalized with iron-on's at home and at booths in the mall. 

the fuzzy felt letters used to spell out words are called 'flock.'

if you ask me, t-shirts do not get more one-of-a-kind and interesting. 

check out all the SHV flock shirts currently in stock here: flock of t-shirts

free shirts, jiggawatts

Well looky here - another fun post in the 'free shirts for bloggers' series has arrived.

For the past 8 years, Jimmy J has been running the web's most thorough, sweet, and informative site all about vintage t-shirts called Defunkd.

Especially awesome is his "Brandpedia" which clearly documents the history of all the best old t-shirt tags.

So he scored on the Run DMC My Adidas shirt and again on the DeLorean shirt, and he kindly wrote about it here: Defunkd.com - Skippy Haha

Cheers, Jimmy J - and keep up the good work!
