Item # 7038

(click image to enlarge and for item number)

This little baby is AMAZING, especially given my affinity for military and marching band jackets. She’s designer, and from the 80’s and dripping with GOLD! And padded, embellished shoulders? Come ON! So fresh and modern still, considering that Philip Lim, Balmain and Marc Jacobs have all done reworked military jackets in recent years. It’s very “In loving memory of Michael Jackson,” dontcha think?
The price tag for this baby is pushing $500, which is still less than it’s modern designer counterparts and a very lovely find!

This stunner is from the 1940’s, with tiers of gorgeous fringe top to bottom, with sequined straps and trim. Truly a rare find, in excellent condition, and great for a night out on the town. Could you not see this dress on a fashionable starlet strutting the red carpet?

Michael Jordan- The Greatest

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

With the recent induction of Michael Jordan into the Basketball Hall of Fame, it is necessary to mention the coveted Jordan brand by Nike.  The Jordan brand is what Lexus is to Toyota, it’s what Maybach is to Mercedes. It is an international symbol of the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. Movie stars, singers, actors and just about everyone else will wear an item of Jordan, not only to look cool, but it is as if the wearer owns a piece of Michael Jordan himself, to “Be Like Mike”.  Above is a rare Jordan brand T-shirt before the official start of the Jordan line of products. The proof of this is on the tag: you see two symbols, one is the Nike sign and the other the Jordan silhouette. Vintage Jordan products include both symbols whereas modern Jordan only shows the Jordan symbol. Currently, the Jordan brand is “retro-ing” all the Jordan line from shoes to clothes by combining modern fashion with 80’s colorways and prints. Retro is comin’ back!

Jordan items are hot stuff and only one piece remains so better get in quick. It’s a Space Jam shirt and it will go great with a the new pair of Air Jordan 11’s Space Jam Edition due to be released this December. Check it out by clicking the link below:

Rare Vintage, Part 1

I'm the Greatest!
This is an incredibly rare photo shirt from the 70’s. The front features a still from the infamous Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier fight.
Isn’t it stunning?
The thing that makes a collector’s item such as this truly incredible is, in addition to being truly hard to find, is that it is in mint condition.
What’s in your collection, readers? Any scores that you want to tell us about?
