Are old T-shirts retro yet?

[Chipps]

As you might imagine, I have amassed a fair number of T-shirts over the years. I was just wondering if any of them have achieved retro or desirable heights yet.

There aren't many other T-shirts that I'd like to have owned - perhaps an early Malvern Classic T... Or a Durango Worlds Tee...

So, what's in and what isn't in T-shirt land? Is worn and faded still OK? Or do they have to be NOSBNIB?

I think my "America won't be Saddamised" (pro) Gulf War (original one not the sequel) T Shirt's pretty cool.

Dunno, but wish I hadn't binned all my old Ts a few years ago.

Like the old Oakley Ts, and the embroidered ones.
'thermonuclear protection'

fat chance, early yeti & cook bros always tend to make good £.
hell will freeze over before i sell my chris chance signed FAT T shirt

ameybrook has pics of some of the 1990 worlds jerseys. that 2nd level shop in durango had furtados 1990 worlds jersey hanging up.

any limited, not usually available over the counter stuff is normally worth more/ rarity appeal chipps

Yes, the old Oakley logo tees were cool (especially in the Global Hypercolor style...) - but then they've made retro reissues now (and of the shades too - I still might have to get me some fluoro yellow Blades...)

I think the earliest Worlds tee I have is 1995. I'll have a dig out. I do have a very odd corrugated cotton onZa tee somewhere...

chatting with the staff in that shop, they told me most people dont realise what the bikes/ tops are from despite some of the massive banners!
nice pics b.t.w

Kai if you're looking, build your xizang like furtados on the wall

Some film T-shirts could be retro. Depending on which film is on the front. Like say an early 'Forbiden Planet' or similer film
