Don’t throw that old shirt away yet—it can be snipped, stitched, and remixed into the new shirt you’ve always wanted! If you need some inspiration, just look to the dudes at This Old Thing? They’re experts at breathing new life into old garments and crafting fashion-foward looks that tie the wearer to the past. The cleverly named line was dreamed up by fashion designer Roy Caires and fashion photographer/thrift-store connoisseur Tommy Cole, who were totally unimpressed with the played out silkscreened tees and  rather boring (for the most part) selection of duds that are currently available in men’s green fashion.
