The profound world of regular T-shirts 2.

Ten people have ten different criteria for selecting vintage clothing. In particular, it is the category called "regular vintage clothing" that is not based on someone else's criteria such as "age" or "rarity," but rather on "how to enjoy it? The category called "regular secondhand clothing" is one in which the question is not "age" or "rarity" but "how do you enjoy it? The "Doregular T-shirt Exhibition," a vintage clothing event focusing on regular T-shirts, the symbol of this category, is making a comeback for the first time in a year! We have invited three organizers of the event, Mr. Nakano of "dojoe," Mr. Hatanaka of "weber," and Mr. izmt of "AnoLuck," to talk about what to look for in the T-shirts to be displayed at the event, and how to enjoy regular T-shirts. We asked them to talk about the key points to look out for in T-shirts to be exhibited at events and how to enjoy regular T-shirts. The irregularity (=interest) hidden in the regular (=ordinary) can be brought to light by shifting the viewpoint a little. Don't think too much about ......, just read it first.

It seems like you can find as many as you want, but there are quite a few things that are a good salve.

Well, regular T-shirt fans are waiting for you. It has been almost a year since the last "Doregular T-shirt Exhibition II" was held. Some of our readers may not have heard of the last event, so please tell us again what kind of event it is.

Nakano: In a word, this event is a collection of dregular T-shirts. We planned this event in the hope that people would enjoy facing the coolness of regular designs and graphics, without being bound by values such as rarity or age. Well, there is nothing particularly different from the last time (laughs).

How many pieces do you have on hand this time around?

Hatanaka: We picked up about 40 pieces each, so 120-150 pieces total.

Izmt: I rejected a lot of proposals because I said, "This isn't interesting and it's not good enough. In my case, the number of OKs and rejections were about the same.

Nakano: It seems like you can find as many as you want, but there are quite a few things that are a good salve.

You set the top price at 5,000 yen or less, right?

Izmt: That's basically what I do, but some things are priced higher than that. For example, my highest price was 5,800 yen.

Hatanaka: Even that would be a lot cheaper than the market price of used clothing that is generally traded.

Nakano: I wanted to introduce some interesting things that are out there. I would like to introduce some of the interesting things that are available.

Last time, I found many interesting items, so I am looking forward to this time as well! Now, please tell us about each of the T-shirts you brought, and tell us "what is interesting about them".
