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.

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!

Stock Room - Rainbow Order

A view into the Skippy Haha Vintage stock room. It's in the basement but it has windows. And paneling from the 70s. And work tables and shelves and a globe bulb in the ceiling. I love it.

Rainbow order is the easiest way I've come up with to keep track of vintage t-shirts.
