A good vintage t-shirt is like a good bottle of old wine - aged, developed, matured. But, like wine, it takes time and special handling in order to eventually produce perfect results. The shirt must be washed and dried just so, making it softer and softer without damaging the fibers too much; it must not be sweat in to liberally, otherwise underarm holes will quickly develop; and it must be of good make to begin with (50/50 cotton/poly is the best!) or the whole operation will be fruitless from the get-go. Follow these steps and you will be sure to have the best vintage t in no time! Or rather, in quite some time. On the other hand, you could pick up a Chaser shirt, already made to look and feel as if you put your heart and soul into distressing it perfectly. Hmm...less work, instant gratification? Yes please.
