I have a problem…actually 99 of them and yes a bitch ain’t one. My quest to find the perfect original ‘90s tee has had my fingers ground to their nubs as I work my dealer, eBay into a crash and burn state. The ridiculous lengths I have gone to subdue my aching need for Fido Dido, Cross Colors, NKOTB, 90210, In Living Color and Air Jordan OG tees to adorn my ample bosom, has me twitching and fiending for a fix, on the daily.
Believe me, this is no new habit. I’ve been addicted ever since the actual ‘90s when I used to gank tees from the local Sacred Heart Mission. I know, stealing from charities in order to fulfill my compulsion is my one-way ticket to wrong side of the law…but I told you, any lengths possible! Back then it was all about logo tees with my Tontine Pillow tee being my crack of choice because I could pat my ginormous jugs at the end of an endless night clubbing and yell “my tontines are tired!”
I’ve find myself segueing any ‘trend’ of the moment in favour of my heyday decade the ‘90s. It was the best era for hip hop, and it’s where my true style calls home. Gimme Starter/Chalkline jackets and snap back caps any day. 20 years later, here I am still rocking it. Sometimes fashion doesn’t have to go in circles, it can remain in a straight line to high-top-fade place, population MAFIA.
It’s something about the crusty smell of these ‘90s vintage tees that gets my rocks off. That and the not so distant memories of doing the roger rabbit adorned in my uniform of choice; Cross Colors/Stussy bucket hat (flipped up at the front), oversized Fido Dido tee and baggy 26 Red jeans (one leg rolled up please!). My hunt continues everyday to bring back the ‘90s through my T-shirt collection, and for the first time ever, I’m sharing the love through the images attached. If anyone finds anything you know will float my cabbage patch boat…hit me up!
If you're too lazy to search the endless chain of product on eBay to cop an original, unused
Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch tee then try these wacky retro tee online stores. Not the real thing, and I usually don’t condone the “remake” but sometimes ya gotta make do!
