Eye of the Tiger

I'm always on the hunt for printed shirts.  I found this one at a local vintage clothing shop in the Mission.  I love seeing how vintage trends influence contemporary fashion.  Tigers were a huge motif this year in menswear - yet this shirt was made in the 1960's.  Mega bonus that it has some Asian elements mixed in there as well.  Destiny.

$40 later and I was the proud owner of this hidden gem.  Dare I say, I have the eye of the tiger when it comes to finding these shirts?

The setback: it was a XXL.  However, I was confident my tailor could alter it in the right spots to make it wearable.  Still a little baggy, but the flow is a nice nod to the 60's era.

All in, $60.  Not bad for a killer vintage shirt and a story.
