For me this vintage trend has been going on since the mid 80’s, but I’m older and have worked for American rag and Buffalo exchange in the 80’s. Seem tho back then it wasn’t as mainstream as now more normal to buy vintage when celebrities are wearing it. Back then when I worked at Buffalo in the mid 80’s the designer ppl. wouldn’t step into a used clothing store and it was looked down on. The 2 women that opened Wasteland high end used clothing, started off working at the Berkeley Buffalo exchange at the same time I worked at the Haight St. store in San Francisco. I’m thinking after decades to use my knowledge and talent to try to sell vintage clothing and what I see being done with ppl. Who have stores are nothing I haven’t seen before. But I’m glad ppl. are now more educated about clothes and hopefully ppl. will express themselves more with clothes vs trying to look like others and like a clone. Oh and thanks for making the video and are you British? If so, bc Brit’s and the Japanese had always been very trendy and fashion forward.
hell yea that’s awesome you should go for it with that much experience/knowledge! question: do you think this will ever die down ? it has been a massive trend recently and im also beginning to step into this market space as i am also very interested in this area !
So I have very sensitive skin AND I went to a shiteton of concerts in the 90s. I have shirts I bought at everything from Nirvana to Ramones (Adios Amigos my arse) to Pink Floyd to tons of Grateful bear tie dye. So, my sensitive skin…. I got rid of maybe half the tags and I have approx 75 shirts. Some have the date on the shirt under the graphic (for i stance, the Hole Miss World shirt has the brand and 1994 written under it. It’s obvious by feeling it, and by the fact I still have my ticket stub and backstage pass (but that is certainly not true for all of them although I do have a rare af Sleater Kinney shirt I never saw before that I got when I saw them in a church basement and I have their set list). So the Q is, let’s say, just as a for instance, that I’m pricing a shirt at $250 US. How much do I take off for lack of tag? Does the date on the front make up for that? Would it make sense to have them authenticated since there are so many? Thanks!
Hi, the date in the front doesnt completely make up for the lack of tag. Tags are something seek after. A shirt without a tag is an uncomplete piece. Its like a car without the logo (you know that it some times common that the logos of some cars are stolen) and if you want to sell that car its obvious the car Is authentic but it will affect the price anywsys because it Is lacking an important part. Im sorry for the analogy because it Is obvouisly different scenario tho it was the best i could make up. (Tshirt Tags are on the inside and car logos are on the outsite but people who are into vintage appreciatethe tags Not only for authntication but also for the hype of having a soecific tag although it Is nothing anyone can see unless you get your shirt off. But Is something that you know when you are using it. And also people who are into vintage and have friends that are into vintage too, you some times hang out and show and share the tags of your clothing for appreciating those things and the lack of tags In a t shirt is something you Not allways are proud of sharing even if the piecee is legit lol. Its like having an artpiece that can be confirmed it was made of an artist but the part that had the firm was ripped. That was the point i wanted to state. But as this video says everything Is supply and demand. If a shirt Is very rare maybe lacking the tag wont matter so much (tho it always will matter but i mean maybe Not SOO MUCH) because the shirt Is so difficult to find that findinig without the tag is allready a pleasure, same thing happens with condition, stains, colorfade, and distressing. Some shirts can be full of holes and stains but are so hard to find and seek after that can go up to thousamds of dollars anyways.
Hey, I totally agree with @agustinRigoli, My opinion is that i would prefer any item i buy to come with a tag, i believe it gives a shirt more credibility and adds a ton more value if i was looking to sell it. However some people don't care as much so this wouldn't be an issue however recognising that because people are less likely to buy a shirt with no tag means the value has dropped there for should be priced lower.
LOL. Do not listen to these scumlord "vintage" sellers. They're just hypebeasts trying to make a buck. Your vintage band shirts are just as valuable without tags, especially if you have the original concert tickets.
so my question is.. if a tour shirt that has a print on it that says " license to Brockum" and have a Brockum tag and sells for 300 USD how can I price my shirt with the exact same print but with a different tag? like Giant.. hopefully you can answer me or anyone in this community because I did search and search and it just doesn't make any sense to me that with the same licensing and tag (Brockum) is selling for 200-300 USD and then comes 2 post with a Giant tag but the licensing is for Brockum is posted at 400 USD. I just don't wanna live in that "dreamland" lol if you get what I mean. 🥴 thanks man! ✌🏼
brockum did licensing for multiple shirts that were shorter printed at the time based off the quality, and the print itself, there were many rare collaborations and counterparts to the tour shirts you would normally see, if the shirt is on a giant tag but licensed by brockum it basically means it’s still a brockum licensed product and graphic itself just printed in a different type of blank, sometimes they are faked though and could be modern reprints of the normal version with a brockum tag, you can search tag dating on basically all the major brands like gildan giant and hanes same with jeans and nike basically you should do research before listing something for sale because you can significantly undervalue it or significantly over value it, an example is the alice in chains dirt shirt, many people don’t know which tag is the original tag but it’s a fruit of the loom, there are a bunch of tshirts in the community faked and printed on different tags so you never really know
Because the non-brockum version is a reproduced bootleg, most likely. It could be an official reprint from later. But essentially, they're paying for the timestamp.
Would you be willing to do a few appraisals? I'm in Chicago so would have to be by photos.
What if the clothing is from a celebrity and wore to events.
A question I have is how can you price your items? For example do you cross reference with EBay, Depop, etc? Or is there a better source or method?
Disregard you addressed the issue, I was half way through your video. After watching several of your videos
Why are all the dudes painting their nails? What happened to men?
Go outside
Single stitch and USA
