Just recently, my bro in law, Adam, created an Etsy shop called 'Polly and Esther's Tees'. His site features sick vintage t-shirts for sale. One thing that makes this site stand out is that the pieces of clothing are one of a kind, (hence the vintage). Not only am I writing about this to promote, but as I was looking through these shirts and trying them on, it got me to thinking about how this vintage clothing has already lived life. Vintage helps to give your style character and a story. When you buy a vintage outfit, you are not just getting something that came straight from a factory to a store shelf. You are wearing something that has seen life and it makes you wonder the good and the bad it's been through, and even the places it's been! I think that's really cool.
One thing you don't need to worry about with Polly and Esther's shirts is the growing trend of labeling things "vintage" that aren't really vintage. It's common now to see new t-shirts that have an aged look. Lots of popular stores sell brand new items that are made to look old or items that blatantly appear as if they are from another time period. New items made to look old are not vintage. So, if you're looking for a cool shirt to wear to your next outting, check out Polly and Esther's Tees.

Great post! And by buying and wearing vintage clothing you are not falling victim to corporate America and buying something that costs $1 to make in China!
