We Offer Wholesale Real Vintage Blank T-Shirts – Single-Stitch and Heavier Weight Double-Stitch
Wholesale Real Vintage Blank T-shirts – Worn History, Ready for a New Chapter. Before “sustainable fashion” was a buzzword, clothes were simply built to last. Our Wholesale Real Vintage Blank T-shirts are the real deal. We offer vintage single-stitch and double-stitch Wholesale Real Vintage Blank T-shirts, crewnecks, and workwear from decades passed. Each piece is pre-loved and sourced from textile recycling streams, old stockrooms, and closets that refused to bow to fast fashion. They carry the weight of time in every fiber – the perfectly faded colors, soft cotton and that broken-in drape you just can’t fake.
Each t-shirt started life with a story – maybe it was going to be a merch tee at a basement show, or a promo freebie that outlived the brand it advertised. Through textile recycling, these garments skip the landfill and get another shot at being worn. Instead of pouring resources into making something “new,” you’re taking what’s already here and giving it a second act. That’s slow fashion at its most authentic.
Single-Stitch vs. Double-Stitch – What’s the Difference
In the vintage T-shirt world, stitching tells the story of an era. Single-stitch hems go way back – they were the industry standard from the 1950s through the early 90s. You’ll spot them on everything from 60s promotional tees to 70s concert shirts and 80s skate graphics. Everything was printed on single-stitch t-shirts. In the 1970s, Screen Stars emerged as one of the most iconic blank T-shirt brands in the U.S., producing ultra-soft, lightweight 50/50 poly-cotton blends and cotton tees that became a favorite for band merch, promo shirts, and custom printing. Known for their paper-like tags, buttery feel, and perfect drape, Screen Stars blanks were everywhere in the 80s and early 90s. Beloved both for their comfort and for that timeless seam detail that marks a real vintage tee. With one clean row of stitching securing the hem, they have a narrow edge, a softer drape, and that effortlessly lived-in vibe that’s impossible to replicate. Many were tubular-knit, meaning no side seams, which just adds to the comfort and authenticity. To collectors, that single seam isn’t just construction — it’s a time stamp of authenticity.
Authentic Real Vintage Single-Stitch Blank T-Shirts with Real Character
Explore the Timeless Appeal of Real Vintage Single-Stitch Blank T-Shirts
Every vintage single-stitch blank t-shirt is a Piece of Wearable History. These shirts have seen concert crowds, road trips, skate parks, flea markets – and somehow made it here, ready for a new life. We handpick each piece to make sure you’re getting real vintage quality: soft cotton, broken-in collars, and that effortless drape only decades of wear can create. Think of them as a blank canvas with soul. No reproduction, no dishonest wear with Dremel tools – just genuine vintage character ready for your design, your brand, or your own minimalist vibe. Each one is unique, perfectly imperfect, and impossible to duplicate. This is what sustainability looks like when it’s too dope to brag about it.
By the mid-90s, production shifted to double-stitch construction – two parallel rows reinforcing the hems. It was sturdier, less likely to curl, and paired perfectly with the heavier cotton weights and boxier fits of the era’s streetwear boom. That change marked the end of an era for T-shirt purists, making single-stitch tees even more coveted by collectors today.
We stock both styles, whether it’s the airy, timeworn feel of a 60s–80s single-stitch or the rugged edge of a late-90s double-stitch blank, every shirt here is genuine vintage, ready for its next life.
Wholesale Vintage Workwear Shirts
This is the other side of vintage — the American factory floor. We offer bulk dozens of vintage workwear shirts in short sleeve and long sleeve, greens and blues, sizes S, L, and XL. These are the shirts that clocked in for double shifts, punched the timecard and carried the smell of machine oil and strong coffee.
Expect the classics: Red Kap, Dickies, Big Ben and other uniform legends that stitched their way into Americana. Available in short and long sleeve, in the timeless greens and blues that filled garages, warehouses, and factory floors for decades. Sizes run S, L, and XL, some are faded soft, some still stiff, some carry the patina of decades of real work. That’s the beauty — every bundle feels like it came straight out of an old mill locker room.
Why buy new when you can brand on the real thing? These shirts are perfect for embroidery, screenprinting, patches, or small-batch merch drops. Every run feels truly one-of-a-kind, because no two dozens are exactly alike. Your logo ends up on a canvas that already carries its own story. Whether you’re outfitting your crew, reworking for resale, or chasing authentic Americana, these shirts deliver the grit and durability that built it all. Real vintage. Real work
Vintage Blanks Grading
Grade A: These are the unicorns of vintage blanks. No holes, no stains, no weird “what happened here?” mysteries. You basically just steam them, toss them on a hanger, and they’re ready for print, embroidery, or whatever your next brilliant idea is. Think of them as a blank canvas that’s been sitting quietly in the corner, waiting to be noticed. Low drama, high potential.
Grade B: Now we’re talking “almost perfect, but not quite.” Maybe there’s a tiny stain that looks like it survived one bad coffee spill in the 90s. Maybe a seam is a little loose, or a button decided to take a permanent vacation. But come on — it’s vintage. That’s part of the deal. These are still great blanks that just need a quick spot clean, a little stitch, or a once-over before you throw your design on them. Perfect for people who don’t mind a little pre-project foreplay.
Grade C: The misfits. Holes, paint splatter, mystery stains, busted seams — basically the “what were they doing in this shirt?” category. But here’s the thing: these are fun. If you’re into distressed vibes and letting your creativity run amok, Grade C is your playground. They’ve lived a few lives already, and now they’re ready for their reincarnation as something even flyer.
