T-shirts

The four lines of vintage t-shirts

Brand t-shirts

Original pieces from well-known brands. It's the line with the best balance between cost and speed of sale: the logo makes the commercial case and the buyer already knows what it's worth. It works especially well on Vinted, where searches are made by brand name. Available by the kilo and by the unit.

USA graphic t-shirts

T-shirts with American sports and culture graphics: universities, leagues, bands and merchandise from another era. It's the line with the highest unit sale price in the category, because every graphic is unique and the American vintage buyer pays for the piece, not the brand. In high demand on Etsy and among collectors.

Nike + Adidas Mix

Focused on the two most sought-after sports brands in the second-hand market. Guaranteed fast turnover and a low entry price. You'll find more product from these brands in the brand bundles.

Technical sports t-shirts

Original brand sportswear designed for training and performance. It's the line with the highest value per kilo in the catalogue and connects with a different audience from classic vintage. It's part of the sport / training.

Why start with t-shirts

If you're building your stock from scratch, the t-shirt is the logical first purchase. Three reasons: sizing is forgiving — a vintage M is bought by both an M and an S who wants it loose —, it has no season and the low ticket speeds up the first sale, which is what you need to validate the channel. Once you have data, reinforce with high-ticket product such as sweatshirts or jackets.

Kilos or units?

For t-shirts, the difference is especially marked. The kilo gives the lowest cost per garment in the catalogue — it's the lightest garment, so many pieces go into a kilo — but requires sorting. The unit gives you an exact quantity and a fixed cost, which is what you need if you're going to photograph garment by garment. Compare both in sales by quantity.

Combine them in your shop window

The t-shirt is the base on which the rest of the catalogue is built: raise its price by combining it with brand sweatshirts, reinforce the young style with the Y2K line and complete the look with vintage trousers. See the full catalogue by type.

Frequently asked questions

How many t-shirts go into a kilo?

The t-shirt is the lightest garment in the catalogue, so it's the one that gives the best yield per kilo. The exact quantity depends on the weight and size of each piece; check the pack listing.

Which t-shirt line turns over fastest?

The brand mix and the Nike + Adidas one, through immediate recognition. USA graphics turn over somewhat slower but sell at a considerably higher unit price.

Are the t-shirts original?

Yes. All pieces are checked one by one and only original t-shirts in sellable condition go in.
