Sale! Sale! Sale!



In order to make room for the flood of fantastic new shirts coming down the VV pipeline in the coming weeks, we had to put 22 of our more elderly shirts on sale. While it's sad to see these go, they're on sale for only ten bucks! Parting is such cheap sorrow.

Click here to check them out, and act fast because once your size is gone in any of these styles, it's gone for good.

P.S. just kidding about the fire.

Spotlight on a Top Shelfer: Jim Traficant edition

Last week Rep. Jim Traficant (D-Ohio) was let out of jail after seven years. Traficant, 60, was convicted of all charges he faced, including racketeering, bribery, kickbacks and fraud.

read more, here, including:
After his indictment, his theatrical performance before the House Ethics committee and his subsequent expulsion from the House, Traficant offered this puzzling comment about his future: "I will take with me a file, chisel and a knife. I'll try to get some major explosives to fight my way out," he said. "Then when I get out, I'll grab a sword like Maximus Meridius and as a gladiator, I'll stab people in the crotch."

Oustide Lands Wrap Up


We had a steamy hot flantastic weekend at the Vintage Vantage T-shirt Shop and Hug Emporium tent at Outside Lands Festival in Golden Gate Park.




Guadalajara Joe performed a ninja set, Gaby V rocked and soothed the weary souls, and more free hugs were passed out than wooks.




Here's Reba sporting a custom-made Caucasia Knows How to Party Cardigan:



We even got a mention in the SF Chronicle:
Inside, there were virtually no lines at the portable toilets or numerous
concessions stands, which sold everything from fair trade coffee and organic
produce to local wines. One stall offered free hugs along with vintage t-shirts.

And here's an official OSL photo of a few free huggers spreading the love mustard!






Success! Already can't wait for next year.
