# Where to Buy Vintage Tennis Shirts

You've got four real options. Which one is right depends on whether you want a true original or a vintage look you can actually buy in your size.

| Where | What you get | Watch out for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Real vintage (thrift, eBay, resale apps) | A true original from the 70s or 80s | One of a kind, worn condition, old sizing that runs small |
| Etsy | Lots of designs from small sellers | Many sellers use print on demand too, so print quality and ship times vary by shop. Read the reviews. |
| Big tennis brands | Performance fabric and the occasional heritage reissue | Big logos, and retro drops sell out |
| Independent tennis brands | Original art and a consistent print | Smaller catalogs, and most print to order |

## What to Check Before You Buy

Look at three things: how long it takes to ship, the return policy, and whether the shirt comes in a fit you'll actually wear. Print on demand shops almost never take returns for size, so check the size chart first.

## Where Wood Racquet Society Fits

We're an independent brand. Every shirt is an original illustration of a legend hitting a forehand with a wood racquet, printed when you order, in classic or relaxed fit. It ships in about a week.
