Well folks, we have some good news and some bad news.
First the bad news - after 9 years of bringing you the softest, freshest t-shirts known to mankind, Vintage Vantage is closing down. Blame the economy, blame change, blame us for not being better cutthroat business people. It's a sad thing, but we're looking ahead to new positive ventures, and hope you are too.
Now the good news - everything must go! All of our shirts are deeply on sale, half price discounts or more, right here for the next month or until they're all sold out. We won't be printing any more of these, so it's now or never.
Thank you so much for being here, it's been a crazy fun decade. May you always be wearing your favorite shirt.
Love,
John, Heather, James and Emily

oh man....... this is BS, I blame Bush.......
Sad face. Can we come to your warehouse to make purchases? Do you have any Gringos! shirts anywhere hiding in a corner?
I've been buying your shirts off and on ever since I got hooked in 2002 via your 'Brooklyn Bombers' T-Shirt (that's pre-VantageSoft fabric for ya!). I gotta say, it's really sad to see you guys go. Thanks for covering my torso with so many great shirts for all of these years, I wish you all the best!
Nooooooooooo!!! :( I've loved your guys' shirts for...forever!!! Crimpin' ain't easy, the vintage stuff, etc. OMG - crying now.
You can't be serious!?!
Know that you guys did it right and made a lot of people happy over the years. That's more than can be said for 99% of companies.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you,
Tobias
I'm extremely heartbroken. It's like I've lost an old friend. I've also been getting shirts since 2002 since before the vantagesoft shirts. I'm sad to think this is my last order, but it seems a part of VV might still go on.

On another note, is anyone else having trouble placing orders? When I hit the 'complete order!' button I'm returned to the personal info page. Any advice?
I'm horribly sad to see you guys close as well. I'm trying to place an order but it won't work, it keeps returning me to my order info screen. HELP!!!!!
Sad to learn that Vintage Vantage is going out of business.
I wish you all the best for the future!

Came to visit San Francisco a couple of times in 2004 and 2005 while my girlfriend studied there and got a few tshirts, including my favourite tshirt, the 'Gringos!' one. Just this morning I put it on and thought 'I'll visit Vintage Vantage to see if they've got anything new!' and came across the sad news. All the best for the future, I've worn my VV tshirts around the UK with pride and always receive nice comments on them :)

it can't be, just say it ain't so....

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I'm so sorry to hear this guys. Half my flippin' wardrobe is DoubleV. Bummed I never made it out to SF for a visit to the actual store front...if you homies are ever in Columbus, OH you've got a free place to stay as a return favor for all the free stuff over the years!

I'm so sad to hear this news! I've been buying shirts from you guys for almost 5 years now and will be very sad to see you go. Thank you for keeping your customers entertained, happy and sharply dressed for the past 9 years.
All the best.
Fuck fucking no, say it ain't so. So many of my favorite shirts are from you guys. Now I have to wash them with woolite and try to make them last another 50 years. I hope whatever's next for you guys is just as grand, I can't wait for the future!!!
In the words of Darth Vader, "Noooooooooooooooooooo"
what the hell am i going to wear now?!
thank you vv for all the laughs and the super soft cotton.
Thank you for your personal goodness vintagers and thank you also for providing me with the coolest Christmas gifts for friends and family may the sun be on your shoulders and the wind at your back... And as the gulls fly past they shall squawk 'vintage' and 'vantage' and 'chips' and whatnot.
I shall miss you
love Kate xxx

I can't remember when I discovered you guys, must have been about 2002? I bought the 'Hello fine fellow, come here and sit with me' tee which I wore with cheeky pride! I've always promoted your website on this side of the pond and I'm gutted to hear you're closing! Good luck for the future and thank you :) xxx
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I just found you guys! I just moved to the city and have been looking for good t-shirt places :(
Is it too late?! I have the worst luck. Anyway, hope for the best in the future xooooo
