  What is the difference between Vintage and Retro Apparel?

At Wolfgang's Vault, Vintage Apparel is defined as a garment created for and made at the time of a particular event or performance. Most vintage apparel in The Vault comes from the archives of Bill Graham Presents (BGP). The archive was carefully managed by BGP from 1966 until our recent acquisition, and has been stored since the event with which it's associated. Some of our vintage apparel comes from the home closet of the promoter, a stagehand or the photographer who shot the original event.

Our Retro Apparel is made from a vintage design and was produced subsequent to the original event or concert. Our Retro t-shirts are made using the finest jersey cotton giving you the softest, smoothest t-shirt around. These shirts are designed to fit like they did in the 70's and 80's, tailored to the body for a more youthful fit. Be sure to check out our sizing chart to help assure that you'll get the perfect fit on the first try.

  Do you have sizing charts for your apparel?

We have sizing charts for Retro Apparel, but not for Vintage Apparel. Scroll down to see these sizing charts.

  How do your Retro sizes compare to other manufacturer's t-shirt sizes?

For our standard retro t-shirts we recommend that you order a size or two larger, as they are smaller and more fitted than most apparel produced today. Our Full Cut t-shirts offer a bit more breathing room so you shouldn't need to go up in size with these. The quality and feel remain the same. As with any fine jersey cotton t-shirt, you should expect your shirt to shrink by about 5-7% after its first wash and dry.

  Why Don't You Post Vintage Apparel Measurements?

We do not give size dimensions specifically as each year and manufacturer brings style and sizing variations. Our Vintage Apparel is noted as (Vintage) next to the size, and was produced at the time of the event or concert with which it is associated. True to the era, Vintage apparel tends to be smaller in size (1 to 2 sizes smaller) than apparel produced today and may show the effect of 20 or more years of storage. All non-vintage t-shirts adhere to current USA standards of size.

  How should I care for my Retro t-shirt?

We recommend that you machine wash Retro t-shirts in warm or cold water and tumble dry on a Low setting. As with any fine jersey cotton t-shirt, you should expect your shirt to shrink by about 5-7% after its first wash and dry.

  The following table outlines the measurements for each of our Retro sizes (including Men’s Impresario).

Measure under your arms around the fuller part of your chest.

Our men's vintage hats were produced to commemorate special bands, concert, or events held by Bill Graham Presents. The authentically vintage styles include mesh caps, baseball hats, felt westerners, visors and painters caps. All of our hats are one size fits all, although because they are vintage they tend to run on the smaller size.
