Vintage T Shirts

Pre owned cotton t shirts and washed graphic tees for men and women from independent boutiques.

Vintage t shirts are cotton tees made years ago and worn before, and most here are pre owned designer tees. Cotton jersey comes in black, white, blue and red, some of it cut oversized. Worn collars and faded screen prints soften clean lines when paired against structured tailoring.

The United States Navy first issued the crew neck cotton tee as an undershirt in the early nineteen hundreds, and printed tees took off in the sixties for ads, protests and souvenirs. Rick Owens is known for draping and bias cut patterns, while Chrome Hearts, started in a Los Angeles garage in the late eighties, prints its cross, horseshoe and scroll logos on its tees.

Layer printed long sleeves beneath oversized t shirts or thick flannel shirts, matching them with raw denim or dark trousers. Utopia in Toronto brings every piece on this page, most of them pre owned, with many from Chrome Hearts and Balenciaga.

Common questions

How should vintage t shirts fit?
Wear your usual size for a closer fit, or size up for a loose, boxy one with dropped shoulders. Cotton can shrink in the wash, so check the measurements before you buy.
What makes vintage t shirts feel softer than modern shirts?
Years of washing and wear soften the cotton, loosen the ribbed collar and fade the screen print into the cloth.
Which designers make the tees on this page?
Chrome Hearts and Balenciaga make many of them, along with Louis Vuitton, Gallery Dept. and Rick Owens. Chrome Hearts began in a Los Angeles garage making leather jackets and is known for its sterling silver and its cross logo.
