dear hippies

[jenbobblehead]

hippies: remember those shirts we had, like 15+ years ago, cotton print (i suspect they were mostly women's shirts) that were printed cotton, short or long sleeved, with little tiny paisley designs or other indian designs? i remember i got mine at an indian clothing store here in Providence. I cannot for the life of me find them anywhere. They were a staple for every patchouli wearing prep school or college chum i had, myself included, and i find that the all three of my very ancient shirts are wearing quite thin. They truly are the most comfortable tee shirts, and i'd love to get some more.

 

do they really not make them any more? i have googled every text string i can possibly think of to find an outlet for these shirts. Please prove me wrong and find an online store for me to get a few.

 

thanks in advance.

like this?

[jenbobblehead]

does that look like tshirts to you?

 

if it is helpful, the shirts often looked like a one or two color version of those indian bedspread tapistries.

i tried that place. no dice. The tag on my old shirt says GEETA but that is a fairly common indian name so i haven't been able to track down a Geeta T-shirt. I'm starting to obsess now.

I knew once i posted a pic everyone would remember them. I swear they are the most comfortable tshirts i have ever owned, and they have worn so well.

 

I would say M or L. My shirt has long lost its size tag. If it fits you (but is too long, i know your propensity for cutting the bottom off your shirts) it will probably fit me. Sleeveless (like a loose tank top) is ok too! Thanks for looking!

 

PS. We WILL be in San Fran July 4-11!! All Star Break and the game is at Giant's Stadium!!!! we probably won't get to the game but at least we'll get the swag!
