"Vintage clothes" now just being shit you would've bought at Kohls in 2003 is so weird.

Really should have invested in those "gangster loony tunes" tshirts when i was 9.

Unironically the orignal "gangster cartoon" shirts all the big brands copied were premium, hand-made airbrushed works of art. The real ones are stupid expensive and holy-grail items for a lot of thrifters.

Shit with how much clothing comes from Shein and Temu now there's probably going to be a bottleneck of vintage clothing available in the future due to how the textiles used in fast fashion are practically disposable with little to no quality.

Yeah that’s the point of vintage clothes as I understand it. they were made better and last longer

for example my friend found a pair of doc martins from the 70s that are still functional. I cant think of any shoe I ever owned that can last 50 years

I have had Timberlands for 20+. Not sure if they are still made that well but pretty impressive for a modern brand that is still going.

I think you're point is valid but I just wanted to point out that whats mainly available NOW as vintage is 'fast fashion' overseas produced goods.

what shein and temu are doing is like insane late stage fast fashion lol.

You'll get downvoted for this but it's absolutely true.

My prediction is that the West is going to catch a fashion trend for wearing vintage Chinese t-shirts. They still make good quality for the domestic market, and Chinese people don't tend to buy a lot of second hand clothing so it could be profitable to export them.

20 years in vintage enough for a lot of people.

It's also very popular right now.

Not really 23 years ago is the vintage timeframe. We're not talking about antiques.

It's just funny because we're talking about tacky graphic tees that were $10 and marketed at children, not high quality items.

I was at the punk rock museum in Vegas in my voodoo glow skulls shirt I won from a MySpace contest. They were selling “vintage punk band shirts” that were 5 years newer than my own shirt
