Sell to Us · Vintage T-Shirts
That box of concert tees might be the best thing in the closet.
The vintage t-shirt market has minted more surprises than any other corner of our trade. A 1980s metal tour shirt, a 70s surf shop tee, a faded film promo from a movie nobody remembers: the right shirt is worth hundreds, sometimes thousands, and it usually lives in a box marked old clothes.
Free visit · cash offers · no obligation
Southern California closets are especially good hunting. This is where surf and skate culture printed its history on cotton, where tour merchandise sold out at the Forum and Irvine Meadows, and where the shirts stayed because nobody ever needed to throw out a t-shirt in this climate.
Shirts we pay real money for
Band and tour shirts
Rock, metal, punk, and rap tees from the 70s-90s, especially with tour dates on the back.
Surf and skate
Shop tees, early brand shirts, contest shirts, and anything from defunct local labels.
Movie and promo
Film promos, TV shirts, video store and radio station giveaways.
Sports
80s-90s Lakers, Dodgers, Raiders era shirts, championship tees, and stadium giveaways.
Single stitch blanks
Even plain shirts matter if the tag and stitching are right. We check every box.
Condition rules are different for tees
Fading, cracking print, and thinning cotton are often part of the appeal; collectors call the feel of a fifty-wash shirt buttery and pay extra for it. What hurts is alteration: cropping, sleeve cutting, and bleach. Do not sort the box by what looks too worn to sell. Bring us everything from the era and let us read the tags; we have found four-figure shirts in piles headed for the rag bin.
A Recent Find
A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.

Common questions
How do I know if a shirt is actually vintage?
Check the stitching at the hem: a single line of stitches usually means pre-1995 production. Tags help too. If you are unsure, photograph the front, back, and tag, and we will tell you quickly.
Are reprints worth anything?
Very little next to originals, and the differences fool most sellers, which is the point of having us look. Original screen printing, tag era, and fabric weight separate a $15 reprint from a $1,500 original.
Do you buy other vintage clothing with the shirts?
Always. Tees usually come out of closets that also hold denim, jackets, and workwear we want. One visit covers all of it.
