Vintage Rock T Shirts I have been wearing vintage rock t shirts ever since high school at least. The first few I got were actually inherited from my father. If you knew him you would not suspect it, but he actually used to be quite a rock 'n roller in his time. He had been to Rolling Stone concerts, Beatles tours, and even a Grateful Dead show or two. As such, he had quite a few vintage rock show t shirts sitting around the house. At first, he let me borrow his Rolling Stones vintage rock t shirt for the day. Then he lent me his Beatles and Dead shirts. When it became clear that I was the only person wearing the shirts, however, he eventually gave them to me. I had about six vintage rock t shirts from my dad. For me, they were just cool clothes to wear, but I think he really appreciated seeing me in them. Not only did he enjoy the fact that I liked some of the same music that he did, but I think it was also a pleasure for him to see his son at the same age that he had been when he'd been so fascinated by rock 'n roll music. I guess it was a passing of the torch kind of thing. I used to love to go thrift store shopping for vintage rock t shirts. I had a friend who was absolutely into vintage heavy metal t shirts, and we loved going shopping together. Although we had very different taste in clothing, it didn't matter that much. It actually made things better when I think about it. I would find a vintage rock t shirt from some classic rock band like Cream or The Who, and he would find a Slayer shirt that fit him perfectly. We would never have to compete over the same shirts, and both of us would go home happy. Nowadays, vintage rock t shirts are making a comeback. As a matter of fact, they have new vintage t shirts out there now that aren't vintage at all. They are actually carefully styled to look old and weathered. At first, I didn't really like this idea. It seemed like fake authenticity, and I was definitely opposed to it. When I thought about it more, however, I started minding it less. After all, what is wrong with recreating a look that people like? It seemed like a good way to give more people access to good clothes. Summary Vintage rock t-shirts will never be out of style. You can find some great samples at many second hand stores. New vintage rock t-shirts are being made and designed to look old and weathered, so if you can't find a real one, you can always go for the look with a new one.
