BEST AFFORDABLE VINTAGE T SHIRT BLANKS 2022 / BOXY + WASHED

You are watching my review of the best vintage t shirt blanks for streetwear brands in 2022. We are searching for the perfect vintage tee blank with a boxy and washed aesthetic. We analyze blanks from Los Angeles Apparel (LA Apparel), to Comfort Colors, to Shaka Wear (the original blank for Nipsey Hussle's Marathon). We analyze these blanks on their weight, dye process, collar, shoulders, length and width proportions, color, stitching, fabric content, feel, and overall silhouette. I hope you enjoy the video, and if you have any questions or want a specific blank reviewed then drop a comment

    Glad to read that you found the video helpful. And no I have not tried the Shaka Wear Adult 6 oz Active Tee. I am currently looking at it on their website. Seems like it would be a pretty good blank, but it just depends on how you want to position your brand and the identity you want to reflect through your garments. I would be willing to pick one up and make a video about it if that would be helpful.

    i havent personally tried the champion heritage blank. but champion was left out of the video because the champion C logo that is unremovable. I believe that this could take away from the brand identity of a start-up as it may be hard for consumers to form a relationship with the startup brand instead of champion. this is a completely personal opinion and others make think differently and have great success using champion as a blank

    I noticed that too with the LA Apparel. Seems that the pigment-dyed shirts run a little smaller than the garment-dyed ones. Maybe that is an issue with shrinking in the wash. I am not sure, I'm going to have to observe that a little better. And comfort colors I don't really use but I could easily see them have some sizing disparities.

    It is the Los Angeles Apparel 1801GD in vintage black. I just cut the collar and bottom hem off.

    All the shirts are garment dyed but some are pigment dyed. Pigment dyeing is under the category of garment dyeing go to the appropriate timestamp in the video to understand the difference. The Cotton Heritage and ComfortWahs blanks are all garment dyed. The Port and Company, LA Apparel, and Comfort Color are garment-dyed or pigment-dyed based on color. And then ShakaWear is pigment-dyed.
