Vintage Vantage is a huge repository for awesome vintage tees, and they even have their own line! They are kindly providing the readers of Fantastic Blognanza with a 20% off coupon, which is good for both VV’s original line and their vintage wares (but not their eBay auctions): just use code ‘fanblog’ at checkout for the discount!
Here’s a spotlight of my three favorite (reasonably priced) of their vintage t-shirts; I’ll cover their original line more in-depth at a later date!
Piero’s Pizza was established in 1980 in Highland Park. They don’t deliver out to where I grew up (Wilmette), but if you’re a rich North Shore kid who lives in Highland Park, Winnetka or Glencoe, then you’re in luck, because Piero’s Pizza will deliver to you. Vintage Vantage, on the other hand, will deliver to anybody, so if you’ve moved away from the insulated world of the North Shore and still want this bright yellow medium t-shirt (that fits like a small) at $44, nothing’s stopping you.
Did anybody watch Mighty Mouse as a kid? It ran for a long time, so it wouldn’t be surprising. I had a tape that had an episode of Mighty Mouse on it. I don’t remember exactly what happened in it, but in the end Mighty Mouse saved some sheep and they walked along the trail he left as he flew. The sheep were grateful. Despite its few stains and pen marks, I would be pretty darn pleased if somebody gifted me this small, gray Mighty Mouse t-shirt that’s going for $34.
The best part about vintage clothing is that it brings you back to a previous time, particularly childhood. I used to go to the Lincoln Park Zoo (in Chicago) all the time with my grandparents and parents as a kid. I have many fond memories of it! The Primate House was always one of my favorites. Now, I have an even stronger fondness for the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry, so if I come across any other great vintage tees featuring either of these two Chicago landmarks (besides this small, white Lincoln Park Zoo ringer with red trim listed for $44), I would be all over them.

I guess Vintage shirts especially work when you have some old childhood memories, Mighty Mouse I would like to have, but the others just look like old looking shirts to me
Yeah, each vintage t-shirt is very hit-or-miss for every individual, which is why Vintage Vantage’s huge selection is so great!
