Tenacious T


You may not think that a t-shirt can make or break an outfit but it definitely can. A t-shirt is perhaps one of the most powerful tools in your style work bench. The t-shirt is one of the most adaptable pieces of clothing a man can have. The possibilities are just endless. There are millions of combinations, tons of colors, and a huge amount of designs and prints.

I am sure we are all used to the "beefy t-shirt" made out of beefy fabric - by beefy I mean rock solid cotton. It's almost like wearing a bullet proof vest all day long. With a single stroke of genius, some designer out there decided that it would be better to make t-shirts out of soft cotton for a vintage and comfortable feel. Whoever decided this had the right idea because vintage fabrics are extremely comfortable and usable for any occasion.

Let's say you want to hang out. Just put on a Junk Food t-shirt and go off on your merry way. This look is perfect for your worn out jeans and sneakers. You can do anything in thes
e t-shirts like play a game of touch football, go for a ride on your skateboard, hell go play some video games. No matter what leisure activity you decide to do you will be extremely comfortable. OK, let's say you need to go out on a dresser occasion, put on a nicer pair of jeans, a blazer or jacket, and some nice shoes, and top it off with a Christian Audigier t-shirt and you're set to go to the bars, nice restaurant, or a date with that special someone.

You should look for brands like
Velvet for Men, Affliction, Worn Free, Junk Food, Salvage, Alternative, Tailgate, Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier, Retro Sport and Aname. The Retro Sport line in particular specializes in NHL, NBA, NFL, and NCAA vintage t-shirts. They all have a worn in look, soft fabrics, and they have the perfect fit. Besides the awesome comfort which I cannot seem to stress enough, the t-shirt can be used for everyday use or for that special night where you need to redefine couture. Guys and dudes everywhere are starting to catch on because everywhere I go, I catch these brands in the corner of my eye.

All these brands can be found at 580 South of course. Once I bought my first vintage type t-shirt I became addicted quickly. Take my word, you're going to want these t-shirts. The best part is, all these assortments can be found at one single location, 580 South for your convenience.
Rock your favorite athletic teams, rock your favorite bands, be hip, be funky, be 580!
