(Preface) 'Vintage T-Shirts is a phenomenal celebration of the ever-popular T-shirt, bringing together rare and obscure tees alongside commercial mass-produced designs. With more than 500 examples, the book takes a visual journey through the worlds of music, television, film, advertising, skate and surf, entertainment, and all aspects of popular culture that make this item of clothing such a long-lasting and covetable staple. All of the T-shirts included are original pre-1989, pre-nostalgia shirts, marking the book as a genuine appreciation of the less self-conscious pioneering decades of the twentieth century.
Individual collector profiles appear throughout the book, featuring true fanatics who have offered their personal collections, stories and treasures to the reader. T-shirts from such brands as Stüssy, Thrasher and Ocean Pacific, as well as commercial giants Disney and McDonald's, are included, as well as a plethora of rock bands from the time, from such genres as heavy metal and classic rock, punk, new wave and the new romantics. Whether mint or moth-eaten, rare or common, screen-print or iron-on, this T-shirt collection conjures up the spirit of the times in some of the most iconic printed graphics ever.
