THE BAND TEE
Aside from scars, slang and sincerity, the Holy Grail of authenticity might well be the band tee. But where’d you get that merch? Is that a single-stitch hem? Is that a Schlitz stain on your Red Rocks tank, or did you soak it in a salt bath all weekend? Can you name three songs the Dead debuted at Roscoe Maples in ’73 — can you? From metal and punk, to rock and roll and hip hop, the band tee is an ultimate vintage staple.
These pre-loved beauties have been worn and washed, they’re soft and often paper thin. They have holes, real holes, made through repeated wear and not artificially in a factory. They look exactly like band tees should, they look like they've lived and accumulated a history and romance of their own. This is an authenticity that can’t be argued with, an authenticity made by time and wear.
