Vintage T-Shirts: The Book

If you read this blog a lot, you probably know that we are big fans of great t-shirts. I would wear a t-shirt every day if left to my own devices–I like to think of them as comfortable little canvases on which to display, well, anything really. I still have some great t’s from the 80’s, and when I get bored while visiting my parents, I have been known to rifle through my Dad’s collection. Today, Lisa Kidner and Sam Knee took me on a trip down nostalgia road with their Vintage T-Shirts book. The two authors focus on quite possibly the best two t-shirt decades — the 70’s and 80’s — and revisit over 500 classic t-shirts. Genres include those awesome 80’s skateboarding and surfing t’s, the iron-on fad, pop culture t’s, and of course the authors give us a healthy dose of band shirts. This book would make a perfect gift for that t-shirt collector or fashion/pop culture junkie in your life. There is also a great collector’s directory at the end of the book that is a great resource in and of itself.
