If you want a reissued made in China tee that is of terrible quality then enjoy guys !! my passion for old 90s clothing is mainly because of the made in USA quality that is so hard to find these days
exactly!
Yep, and if youāre into the clothes because of how they look and what they mean, then kit yourself out in box fresh new versions if you can. The opportunityās there.
John Shanahan isnāt wearing washed-out shirts with big droopy necks, cracked prints and holes in the hips, is he? No he isnāt because heās into '90s shit and therefore doesnāt want to roll around in flea-bitten garms from eBay.

There are collectors and there are users. I love old music stuff but iām not a collector, I use it all so if a reissue sounds as good as the original (it happens) then iām down. It would be good enough for the collector though.
Iām stoked to have some of the stuff from the time that I kept (like DC clothes with the five-pointed star, before Converse made them change it!) but no way Iād be interested in buying second hand versions of stuff I didnāt have at the time.
I guess this is like a kid getting into the The Beatles nowadays and wanting t-shirts and whatnot.
Itās not about how they look firstly itās about how they feel, the Made in USA build quality & nostalgia they hold in peoples lives much the same as so many other things in life. We all know that when something is remade in terms of clothing & becomes mass produced the quality of the manufacturing becomes terrible. The fact that I own many skate tees that have been worn perhaps 1000s of times by someone then passed on to me tells me they were built durable & with quality at the forefront of the design
Although I do have a shoebox of Tech Decks from around 2000, so maybe I should see what tour operators are currently trading and get the Bahamas booked.
Bought 120 from Powely, as favours for my wedding, and only really needed 90, so the rest are in the loft.
Or maybe Iāll just skate them.

WOW finally you are starting to understand it seems 
Droors was absolute shit quality for several years. Most decent skate company shirts were cheap shit.
Also what period/ownership of Fuct are you speaking about?
Yeah, I still understand that the value youāre placing on this stuff is absurd. Do you know the difference between World Industries circa 1991 and, say, Maple? Or is it just ā90sā to you?
Surely you āfingerā a tech deck
Focus them with a karate chopā¦
OG Eric Brunetti but I have a few recent mid / late 90s tees also but still of the same Made in USA quality
I can relate this to me just buying some transformers toys to have on display. So sad ha, but fun. BUT, I didnāt buy OG ones as they are actually pretty shit, I bought a few masterpiece models because they look like how they should have been done, based on the OG cartoons. So, reissues are sometimes better.
I do have a rebuild setup that I had at Christmas in 92 though, Not all OG bits but close, I can totally see why you want to have the OG of whatever.
Yeah see itās the WI-era stuff thatās most interesting to me. That was the good shit.
Thaās a board you had though, youāre not trying to rewrite your own biography.
Of course I understand it all dude but I am by no means saying it would be my specialist subject on Mastermind like you are I have many of the early World OG Stickorama & Barnyard stickers
If it keeps your misses happy then do as you wish with them buddy but just not mine thanksā¦
