2009 RIPPED: T-SHIRTS FROM THE UNDERGROUND PAPERBACK BOOK
Product Details
Ripped: T-Shirts from the Underground by Cesar Padilla (foreword by Lydia Lunch) is a visual survey of rare vintage punk, rock, and counterculture t-shirts spanning the 1970s through the 1990s.
Curated from the collection of Padilla - founder of the iconic New York vintage boutique Cherry - the volume functions as an archival document of subcultural fashion. It presents high-resolution photographs of original, worn-in garments from foundational acts including The Velvet Underground, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Sonic Youth. Rather than focusing solely on design, the text examines how discarded concert apparel evolved into high-value cultural artefacts and historical records of music history
Condition: Paperback cuffed as pictured, inner pages intact.

Care & Maintenance
To better maintain the condition of your item, we recommend treating it with care.
Simple maintenance practices, such as gentle washing and proper storage, can effectively preserve the longevity of your favorites.
For vintage t-shirts, if the item contains graphics always iron inside out on low heat setting. When washing, aim to soak with similar colours in cold water.
For vintage advertising posters and lithograph prints - these items will arrive rolled up in tubes, we do not recommend folding these items unless this is their pre-existing state (such as magazine posters). We recommend positioning prints facing away from direct sun, keep them in frame, not using any glue or chemicals to prop in frame, if kept outside of frame we recommend gentle dusting methods.
For vintage books & publishings - we recommend storing these in safely away from potential damp or humid areas but also away from direct sunlight to maintain original state of covers. To maintain page conditions we recommend browsing with clean hands to prevent unexpected reflections.
