The T-Shirt that started it all...

While doing some Spring cleaning this past weekend, I came across this shirt. My girlfriend said "should we put this to be donated?" :Screaming: :Shocked look on my face: "Are you out your fucking mind?" lol. Thats when I explained the story of this shirt to her and now I will explain it to you. I had originally seen this Capitol shirt about 2-3 years ago on Karmaloop.Com, mind you at the time Karmaloop wasn't what it is today. Matter a fact the website wasn't that popular yet at least not to what it is now. While searching through the site I came across this Shirt, not recognizing the brand name or anything I remember going crazy, but the idea of online shopping at the time didn't grasp me. Originally I thought it was a Nike shirt, so I went to every mall that I could travel too, every Foot Locker, Champ Sports, Etc. To no avail they didn't have the shirt(you should have seen these peoples faces when I asked about it). Finally I had went right back to Karmaloop to find out that the shirt was sold out!! Down on my luck I sent them a message on Myspace(You can tell this was long ago lol), and they actually answered saying "Usually we don't do this, since the t-shirt is sold out, but since you came to us directly, you can purchase it here *insert Ebay Link*" In excitement I pulled the money out of my pocket and remember paying a friend to purchase it for me using their credit card. Within a few days I had the shirt and I immediately threw it on, while walking down the block I kept hearing people laugh, saying "Oh shit", it was the first time I ever wore something that caught so much attention. Long story short, this Capitol t-shirt was the first "Street Wear" clothing I've ever had, before then I never heard of "Street Wear", let alone wore "Street Wear", I was use to wearing LRG and whatever brands were dope at the time. Now present day me now has a plethora of Street Wear brands in my closet. Shout outs to Capitol they introduced me to Street Wear and for that I thank them.


IT'S CRAK
