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

This is a very good video. Just a heads up most 90s shirts didn't have side seams so it's not as good of a quality for a vintage look. It's an easy-tell for bootlegs. As someone looking for "close" blanks and not trying to pass them off as vintage these are awesome.

see I think Shaka Wear feels pretty good. not as soft as LA Apparel but my problem with LA is the width is good but their shirts are always too short. I love that Shakas shirts are actually long unlike a lot of other blanks I have tried in the past.

i understand that. i prefer shorter shirts myself, but I know what you are talking about. Shaka wear definitely has more length.

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.

@landensaunders8156 2 жыл бұрын

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

@grimecrimetime 2 жыл бұрын

@@landensaunders8156 yes, valid point. But there are a few brands that have left the C on. I have some ratgirl, indvlst, and some smaller Korean brands that use champion blanks. Also the quality for price is high, and the fit is good for all body types

would you have any ideas on how to dye your own shirts at home? i've tried so many different things, but in the end i just get a whole color shade change (from black to grey/brown) and not the vintage look where it has some grey/white peppering throughout the shirt. anything helps! appreciate it

@landensaunders8156 2 жыл бұрын

im not too sure man. seems like something you are going to have to spend a good amount of time researching. if i were to recommend anything i would say just to make sure that the dye you are purchasing is a pigment dye and then after a few good washes the color should wash in to give it the vintage effect. you could also try doing your own mineral wash.

But as of right now I believe that the quality you get from the LA Apparel 1801GD at its price, makes it the best streetwear shirt blank

@landensaunders8156 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@RyanD808 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome stuff. Only knock I got on my Los Angeles Ap stuff I have is sizing and collar width can be a bit inconsistent. Also my comfort color shirts are mad different in length for some reason

@landensaunders8156 2 жыл бұрын

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.
