I have a David Wright t-shirt I wear a lot. I don’t love it, it’s the kind of shirt I wear around the house. I’ve never been afraid to wear it when working on the pool (chlorine is a MOFO and I’ve wrecked lots of things over the years just by absentmindedly touching a chlorine tab then a shirt).
This DW shirt is probably circa 2011, it has dropshadow, it says DAVID WRIGHT for no particular reason.
And now it has a small hole.
It’s been washed (lets say once a week for 8 years) 400 times? It’s had a good run and I will still wear it because I’m not exactly Don Draper.
It got me thinking – should we start protecting our Wright stuff? Should we go stack up?
Pretty soon @mediagoon won’t be able to pop over to Modell’s to load up, and we’ll all be facing Mitchell & Ness throwback prices. Even now if I wanted to replace my Wright tee, how would I even do that?
Welcome to the future.
