On my recent inventory excursion, I came across an article of clothing that felt soft to the touch. I didn't recognize the tag, but the feel of the fabric in my hands and the stitching in the tag gave away that it was no ordinary shirt. It may have looked ordinary to the untrained eye, in a maelstrom of other worn garments from junk retailers and stained underpants drifting in a sea of first world garbage.
I just gave it a Google, and I came across this information in the top of my search bar. Of course the shirt I found is brown hewed, probably a different season from what's current or from a different fashion bend altogether. However, all of those hours of "research" I've spent at department stores, until I'm eyeballed out, have really paid off. I'm drawn to the older, more earthy designs. Maybe that's because I'm a Californian suburban hippie, or maybe that's because grey and black just doesn't look that great on me.
Honestly, I grabbed it for myself. Selfishness first, business second sometimes. I washed it, but it is just one size too big for me. I'm setting it free, and you can have it - a freshly thrifted item, delivered to your doorstep for a fraction of the cost of getting in the car and finding it yourself.
All you layerers out there, this is for you. I was going to wear it with a tank top.
It's such a beautiful shirt! Check it out at MilKCrate thrift on eBay!
