Brand new, limited edition, vintage t-shirt retrospective written and beautifully photographed by one of the world's foremost authorities on retro-cool. Rin Tanaka, author of several books on leather jackets and vintage motorcycle helmets has turned his attention to the evolution of the logo t-shirt. In this English edition, with Japanese translation, he chronicles the t-shirt as it has evolved in the surf, skate, and motorcycle industries. Along the way he gives a nod to important trend-setters who he believes have affected t-shirt design over the years. Included in this listing is radical leather and jewelry designer Bill Wall, and the king of custom fabricators, Jesse James of West Coast Choppers and Monster Garage fame. Bill, Jesse, and the author have all autographed this rare collector's copy.
