Recently, the keyword 'vintage T-shirts' is often heard. The items currently in vogue are mostly from the late 1980s to the 2000s and cover a wide range of genres, including bands, hip-hop, movies, anime, art, and corporate logos.

For this occasion, we asked Akiyoshi Terasaka, the shop manager at the long-loved second-hand clothing store "JUMPIN' JAP FLASH" in Nakameguro, a district popular among fashion aficionados, to introduce some recommended vintage T-shirts.

The Vintage T-shirt Boom Started About 5 Years Ago

When exactly did the recent vintage T-shirt boom start? Many people might also have the impression that just hearing 'vintage T-shirts' means they cost hundreds of thousands of yen. However, the vintage T-shirts we will introduce today fall in the 10,000 to 20,000 yen price range, which is enough to get good quality items.

"This recent trend probably started around five years ago, gradually gaining popularity. The prices of band T-shirts like Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers, movie T-shirts like STAR WARS, and anime T-shirts like AKIRA have been incrementally rising.
