We understand the concern! While the 'Example T-Shirt' is pre-owned, it's been carefully inspected to ensure it's in wearable condition. We focus on the unique appeal of each shirt, highlighting its history and character. The unisex design, made from comfortable cotton, and pre-shrunk fabric means it's ready to wear. With the 'Lithograph' - 9" x 12" option, you get a unique piece, perfect for everyday wear, all at a great value. Any major flaws will be clearly noted in the product description.
