So I figure for you guys to be good at getting the perfect images to meld with a topic on an image, you have to be good at searching for images on the net.

I come to you today in need of some assistance searching on the net for a t-shirt. I hope to rekindle my parents' youth by buying them a new old shirt for Christmas that they really liked.

Here's the shirt, shrunken thin and very old:





I've found only one mention of the shirt on the net and here it is

That one looks pretty new in comparison. You'll note that it is different, although it has the same "Buffalo Exchange" theme (also the name of a vintage clothing store). I didn't find a way to buy it.

This is actually 1 of 2 shirts I've been trying to find. But focusing on this one is good for now, and this is the easier of the two.

So, I hope you guys will help me, and I hope that you guys have better luck than me.

Found a version in red:

EBAY Jansport Shirt

You're going to have a hard time finding a vintage shirt. You might try contacting Jansport directly. I highly doubt they have any left from the 70's but you never know. As a company they have very good customer service.

Good luck. Hope you find something cool for your folks.

Free backpack exchange when zippers broke. Not sure if they still do this, but when I was young my mom would save them to send in.

Jeez Pec, how young are you and how old are your parents? My Jansport backpack was pretty badass back in middle school, btw.

I am a young 27 year old, and my parents are 59 and 60.

My family is a big supporter of Jansport. We have probably had 3 backpacks re-zippered, or re-stiched because they are so old, but we love them.

FWIW I emailed the company. Don't know if they are in the clothes business anymore.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the ebay link. I think I found that a while back...

I still have a leather Jansport bag that I bought in 1988, and used throughout college.

I'm convinced that if there was a Nuclear Holocaust, the only things that would survive would be cockroaches and leather Jansport bags.

Hi Jacob I apologize but we do not have any records on this shirt. It is great that the garment has lasted for all these years. I wish I was able to help you replace it.


Aww. That was a nice email though.
