Wrestling Apparel General Thread: Vintage/Retro/Modern

[Drones]

Since that vintage thread still has ongoing discussion, I figured we might as well have a general thread for all wrestling apparel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

"Where can I buy vintage wrasslin' shirts?"

Your best bet is eBay, Etsy, or any vintage stores in your town. There are also a number of Instagram boutique sellers you can find who mostly accept Paypal. Vintage wrestling shirts are a lot more popular than they used to be so try not to faint when you see that nWo shirt you had when you were 10 going for $60+ in Used condition.

Keep in mind also that some of the stuff on eBay and sites like 80stees is not actually vintage, but new reprints of old designs making them retro not vintage. There's nothing wrong with retro but Learn the difference as many of these retro shirts are straight up bootlegs printed up in someone's garage.

"Where can I buy New Japan/non-WWE gear?"

ProWrestlingTees.com is a fan-favorite that has shops for almost any non-WWE wrestler you can think of, with the wrestler getting a certain cut of the money per item. They print their shirts in-house so when you order, you have to wait for them to print the shirt before it ships, which makes it about a 2 week+ investment before you get the shirt.

PWT has a lot of great designs but their quality can leave a lot to be desired so for New Japan if you want the real deal, you can get legit NJ shirts from their site using a forwarding service like Tenso. You can also do what I do and find an eBay seller with the requisite feedback reputation and buy from them. Bear in mind though that legit New Japan gear only goes up to an American size Large which to them is XL.

"I like X WWE shirt but I hate that damn tag on the bottom!"

Take an Xacto knife or a seam ripper, and carefully cut the seams on that bytch til you can pull it off. Ta-da, no ugly ass WWE tag.
