Teejerker, a London-based vintage t-shirt retailer, has announced the launch of its new digital platform called 'Jerks.' According to the company, the new platform is positioned to become the go-to space for purchasing vintage gear that is both privately sourced and hand-picked.
The launch of Jerks will be accompanied by a massive 300-piece drop consisting of classic band tees from artists including Björk, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Massive Attack, and Aphex Twins. In addition, a wide range of rare art t-shirts will also be included in the drop, with standouts coming from Andy Warhol.
Beyond apparel, the platform will now offer rare collectibles such as an MF DOOM lunch box, a Tom of Finland postcard book, an '80s-era Apple mug, and a yo-yo from The Orb.
