Entry 10: "Fat Caps" t-shirt by Subware

When I was first getting into the game, this tee was one of the first designs that I remember seeing. Needless to say, Stash and Subware were streetwear mainstays over a decade ago and influenced alot of the heads that are in the game today. I randonly got my hands on this one around '05, but apparently it was from the original stash which was produced around '98.

Entry 9: "Beastiality" t-shirt (unreleased) by MishkaNYC

So this is one of the crazier prints I've ever seen. Around '04 when the 'all-over print' phenomenon was growing, Mishka showed us this particular design at MAGIC. What seems like an innocent monogram print is actually a collage of disney cartoon beastiality. Apparently their printers refused to print it once they realized what it was, and the design was dropped from their collection... but not before I got this one for myself.

Entry 8: "Foot Rooper" t-shirt by A Bathing Ape

I don't really own any BAPE stuff but a friend of mine from Japan bought this back for me from Tokyo in '01. Despite all the hype, the quality of this tee was actually top notch.

Entry 7: "Chasing the Dragon" t-shirt (original sample) by Foreign Family

When FF was first prototyping their now famous "Chasing the Dragon" tee, it was a mutli-color chest only print that didn't fade into the tee towards the top. I was lucky enough to get one of the original samples, but this particular version of the design was never put into production.

Entry 6: "Life's Complex, Get Spoonfed" t-shirt by Spoonfed & Complex Magazine

This one is also a recent t-shirt, only going back to '06, but its one of my favorite newer graphics. The tee was a collabo between Spoonfed and Complex Magazine and I think it was just a promo for the MAGIC tradeshow.

Entry 5: TRUE 10-Year Anniversary t-shirt

This was a pleasant surprise to receive in the mail last year during SF's TRUE clothing store's 10 year Anniversary. The print is black foil and features the 10 Year Anniversary logo surrounded by a wreath and the text "A Decade of Nothing Special".

Entry 4: "I Got It 4 Cheap!" t-shirt

One of the few tees that I've paid for over the years, I found this on a random website after Pusha T wore his original version on Snoop's "Drop It Like It's Hot" t-shirt.

Entry 3: "Unlimited Edition" t-shirt by 10Deep

A classic tee from 10Deep's early days, this joint came out around '01 when all the streetwear lines were boasting limited edition, signed & numbered artist tees and the whole thing got a little out of hand. This tee reads "UNSIGNED, UNNUMBERED, 1/Infinity" and the fine print right underneath reads "UNLIMITED EDITION TEE.TENTH NYC".

Entry 2: "Poor is Righteous" t-shirt by BMBASEMENT

This one goes back to DG's second or third year, around '00-'01. BMBASEMENT delivered a dope concept with a simple delivery and gave a nod to the Poor RIghteous Teachers in the process. The front reads "The Poor is Righteous" in the "The Price is Right" font, and the back reads "teachin'".

Entry 1: Ice Cube The Predator t-shirt

An OG tee... This one goes back to about '94 and I got it at a Sam Goodie's in LA during a summer where all i listened to was Ice Cube's The Predator. Its still pretty gangsta.
