Cerita - what is a vintage shirt?

Generally speaking, clothing which was produced before the 1920s is referred to as antique clothing and clothing from the 1920s to 20 years before the present day is considered vintage. Retro, short for retrospective, or "vintage style" usually refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era.

VTG

Is a short form for Vintage. It was originally adapted as a search synonym on eBay to give sellers more room in limited character listing titles. When comparing the two searches on eBay, they bring exactly the same search results. While Google seems to recognize it as a short form, the two variations bring back quite different results.

Vintage T-shirts

Applying Webster’s definition – a “vintage t-shirt” is a t-shirt that is not new. That leaves a big grey area, but suffice to say they don’t mean one year old. Some say 10, we say at least 15 years old. On Defunkd, a t-shirt must be at least 15 years old to be considered vintage. That’s why we don’t allow any t-shirts to be posted that were manufactured beyond the year 1999.

A true vintage t-shirt can usually be identified by its tag, with most of them now defunct. Typically they were made with a 50/50 blend of polyester and cotton which ensured they were softer. Although there was also a significant amount of 100% cotton blends.

Vintage Bootlegs

This term refers to a t-shirt that is also at least 15 years old – yet wasn’t licensed. Many of these were sold out of concert parking lots in the 1970s and 80s. They typically featured original artwork with a style that become synonymous with bootlegs. Given they are actually vintage, they are more scarce (far less were manufactured) and had original designs, they can be just as valuable as a rock artists licensed vintage t-shirts.

Deadstock Vintage or NOS (New Old Stocks)

Used to describe tees printed in another era that became excess/unsold inventory and typically ended up in storage. Most times they are in mint condition, however sometimes storage conditions can adversely effect their condition.

Retro T-shirts

Retro tees are t-shirts manufactured in modern times, using original, yet vintage themed artwork for a nostalgic appeal. They’re printed on new t-shirts that many times are manufactured with softer fabric blends.

Reproduction or Reissue T-shirts

These tees are also manufactured in modern times but they use artwork that was created in another era. Some of them are licensed, some of them aren’t. Metallica for example has reissued many of their 1980s designs. To make things a touch more confusing – some of these were reissued over 15 years ago so reproductions eventually become vintage reproductions.

Bootleg or Counterfeit Vintage

These happen when dishonest people set out to create a t-shirt in modern times and pass them off for true vintage. They make their best effort to copy an original and sought after design. They’ll find quantities of old blank tees or unbranded modern day vintage-esque tees. They they’ll typically post them online along side a small quantity of actual vintage t-shirts to dupe consumers into shelling out of them.

Cerita - Sports and The Fan Apparel

What are some of the top brands offering sports fan apparel?

People looking for ball caps that sport a favorite team logo often turn to New Era hats. Whether fans support a favorite college team or an NFL, NHL, MLB, or NBA club, New Era offers a wide variety. Nike, Adidas, and Reebok provide an array of college and professional sports caps, shorts, jerseys, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and pajama bottoms. Many fans also appreciate the high-quality buttoned baseball shirts and other clothing manufactured by Majestic.

What is the difference between a snapback hat and other kinds of ball caps?

Snapback hats are staples at fan apparel and souvenir shops. Snapbacks come in two types. Trucker snapbacks are made from plastic mesh and foam, while standard snapback hats have a fabric construction. Snapbacks differ from other kinds of ball caps because they have a flat bill and a snap-together adjustable rear closure, as opposed to a curved bill and adjustable Velcro or buckle-style closure.

What is the history behind bobblehead dolls?

Early ceramic bobblehead dolls, known as nodders, came from Germany with production beginning in the late 1700s and early 1800s. In the 1920s, a bobblehead doll based on a New York Knicks player gained popularity, but general interest in bobblehead dolls waned by the 1930s. By 1960, a number of paper mache baseball bobbleheads surfaced, and those featuring the likenesses of Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays sold well at the World Series that year. Throughout the next several decades, construction moved from papier-mache to ceramic to plastic, and now bobbleheads are highly collectible.

CASIO G-SHOCK x Maharishi MUDMASTER Limited Edition Watch GWG-1000MH-1A

Maharishi Tie-up Model

Introducing the third release of models that are the result of collaboration between G-SHOCK and the English fashion brand maharishi, whose products are favorites as pacifist military and work fashion items.
Designer Hardy Blechman selected the MUDMASTER (GWG- 1000) as the base model because its special features let it stand up to the challenges encountered in a desert or jungle, or just about any other extreme environment.
The band design is based on the new DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) British Bonsai Forest Jungle Camouflage pattern, which is maharishi's collection theme for 2016.
The black ion plated band ring is decorated with the maharishi brand name, and the back cover is impressed with the brand logo. The lettering of the bezel is dark green, while the hour markers, second hand, and small dial elements are accented with flight jacket lining orange.
The original design of the special package further accents the unique nature of this model.
• Mud resist structure
• Vibration resistant structure
• Barometric pressure/altitude, bearing, temperature readings
• Double LED light illuminates the face and digital display for high readability
• Screw-in crown
• Auto hand position correction

Maharishi

Maharishi was started in 1994 by Englishman Hardy Blechman, a well-known London military item collector.
Since then it has continued to release original camouflage and other items that helped it gain fame as a core brand that is being worn by people throughout the entire fashion world. A distinctive feature of this brand is the use of the latest technology to create original designs. Made using the finest materials and attractive patterns, maharishi is the clothing brand of choice of celebrities around the globe.

A special vibration-resistant construction lets them stand up to wear while operating cutters, crushers, drills and other heavy machinery to clear away large obstacles. This is Casio’s first analogue watch to come with Mud Resist construction, which helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch when down and dirty work takes you deep into the dirt and sludge. Multiple gaskets are used on the pipes that guide buttons and shafts, which keeps mud out. These pipes not only act to protect buttons from impact, they also enhance button operation. The screw-in force of the screw lock bezel on an internal gasket further increases mud resistance. A new bezel structure lets you visually check whether the bezel has been screwed in adequately.

In addition, Triple Sensor Version 3 capabilities provide instant access to direction, barometric pressure, and temperature information when needed under tough conditions. The face of the watch is marked with large numerals as 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock for easy reading. The face is illuminated by a double LED light and protected by a sapphire crystal to ensure high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable.

The band surface is processed to resemble a cloth band texture, and the hour and minute hands are shaped with points that make them resemble warning markers. All buttons have a checkered surface for surer operation, and the overall design is tough and rugged.
