Rock Royal-Tee

Worn Free T-Shirts

In the shower, you belt like Bon Jovi. On the dance floor, you shake like Shakira. When lovesick, you wail like Wynonna.

So why does your wardrobe scream stodgy string quartet?

If only you could raid Blondie’s closet. Well, now you can.

Well, sort of: Worn Free recreates T-shirts worn by rock legends like Joan Jett, Joey Ramone, and Frank Zappa. So even if you were a zygote when Debbie Harry rocked CBGB, you can wear her funky shrunken top. (You may never wear sleeves again.)

Shirt tags are printed with glossy photos of the singers, as well as the date and location of the shirt’s original outing. So when everyone else is wearing fake vintage tees from chain stores, you’ll feel like the real deal.

Which will be music to your ears.

Available at Kuhlman, 2419 First Avenue, between Wall and Battery Streets (206-441-1999); online at wornfree.com.
