Is there anything cooler than a cool vintage shirt?
I don’t think so! I love vintage t-shirts and sweatshirts. They are just so cozy. I love to buy ones that are vintage, made to look vintage or wear them soooo long that they become vintage. I will wear things till I can’t wear them anymore. Like this Braves 1995 Championship shirt that my Nanny (Milly) gave to me 18 years ago.
This shirt has since been retired, but I keep it as a memory of my Nanny.
I have a few shirts that I love, a UGA shirt, a Boston Strong shirt and a red polo, that haven’t had enough years on them yet. They are still stiff and not very comfy. So I found a recipe to turn stiff, new shirts into soft, vintage tees… a Vintage Shirt Salt Bath!
The salt bath seems pretty simple. The hard thing is that you have to wait 3 days for it to be done!
I poured 8 cups of water and 1 cup of salt into a big bowl! And that is it. Let it soak for 3 days and then wash it in woolite. Some shirts have writing on them that the salt can’t get through, so you might have to use sand paper wear it down.
I am on day 2 of my first shirt… The UGA shirt. I will keep you posted on how it turns out!
I want to try all different kinds of garments… T – shirts, polos, sweatshirts!
I hope it works. If not, I will find another recipe and share with you!
That is so cool, Allie! I hope it works!
Let us know!! I would love that if it works!
