If you're a collector of vintage t-shirts, you've no doubt noticed how the near-gravitational forces of advertising and marketing can twist and warp the very English language itself. While it may not matter when choosing between a barbeque sauce with a "bold new flavor" and one with a "hot new taste," a slight difference in language can make a huge difference when adding to your vintage t-shirt collection. In fact, knowing the subtle difference between two simple words can save you from making a very big but very common mistake. The word "vintage," for example, is supposed to refer to something that was actually created in the past, such as a wine of a particular vintage. Or a vintage 1948 Cadillac Sedanette. Or even those Guns N Roses t shirts that have been hanging in your closet since 1988.

"Retro," on the other hand, refers to something that is made today but is reminiscent of a previous style. Retro is basically a copy or impression of something vintage, but is not actually vintage itself. Newly manufactured Hammer pants are retro. Sideburns are retro. Neon-colored leg warmers are retro. Unfortunate, but retro. To put it more simply, if you go to a thrift store and buy some 80s tees that have been well-loved, those are vintage. If you go to Hot Topic and buy a new black t-shirt with a Thundercats logo on it, that's retro.

Simple, right? So why so much confusion? Well, part of the problem is that, to many young people, "vintage" and "retro" are both just categories of "old." Is that vintage Star Wars tee cool because the shirt is old, or because Star Wars is old? Are those vintage concert t shirts cool because they came from the actual concert, or because the bands are retro trendy? A high school kid probably doesn't care and makes no distinction between the two.
