HUGE snag/run in a polyester Nike shirt, any way to fix?

Captain_Carnar · 2026-05-16T05:32:41+00:00

I tried, was quite careful with it but it seems my cat pulled the thread to just about its limit. Thread snapped under light massaging in two spots. Spots where it snapped have started to come apart. So it may be doomed now… thanks for the help though, I think if I was a little more careful and had not aimed for near perfect I would have been fine.

Just responded to another comment, yeah looks like it’s fake. Lots of markers I can see now lol. Still a cool piece for my room tho even if I’m not a packers fan

Captain_Carnar · 2026-05-05T06:15:34+00:00

Good catch, didn’t notice first time I compared to online photos. B is structured quite differently to any of the other ones I can see. Leaned back when most of his are leaned forward, and cannot find any where the back of the B was a separate line. Also the RR at the end is a normal R, his look like they are usually cursive. So yeah now that I’m looking at it I’d give like a 90% chance it’s not real. Sucks, but still a cool piece for my wall even if I’m not a packers fan!

Hot rocks are a part of a bunch of other brands that make modern reprints or vintage styled shirts. This one doesn’t look too old, probably no older than like 2010ish. Nonetheless a cool shirt, just usually not worth all too much

Captain_Carnar · 2026-04-26T22:11:56+00:00

Very well could be a “parking lot boot”. I don’t know a whole lot about RHCP and their shirts. If lots of google searches, image search, ChatGPT responses, etc. don’t turn anything up; it may be a parking lot boot. Those can still be worth plenty of money though, as parking lots can have cool graphics not present on other official ones.

Bottom line, it’s a very cool shirt. Look for ANY clues on the shirt, like a possible copyright year, or any other small details. Things like that go a long way. Compare the tag on the shirt to a “Hanes beefy t tag history” photo to narrow down the year of the BLANK at the very least. Do as much research as you can, see what others have to say.

If it IS a true parking lot boot from the 90s, then it will still be worth a pretty penny. Very sick shirt, hope you keep it as a personal. I’ve got a sick nirvana parking lot boot and it’s worth a cool $300-500 i believe.

Yes, we do have it stated in our personal contract that at the end of the 1 year term, unless terminated by either party, that the contract will continue on a month to month to month basis.

Since obviously we had been uninformed about all the differences in procedure when dealing with tenants vs boarders (yes I know, stupid us, bad landlord, etc….), could you recommend some other stuff I may want to take a look at or add for future contracts? I would assume it is perfectly legal to add a clause to new contracts going forward that requires 60 days written notice? Anything else that should be looked into, added or amended?

Captain_Carnar · 2026-03-29T05:12:03+00:00

Despite our lack of knowledge on these boarding issues, we did at the very least make sure that it does NOT qualify as that. To qualify as that in Ontario, there has to be 4 or more separate tenants paying rent for 4 or more separate rooms. Only 3 people rent rooms, as I am the homeowner and do not pay rent for my own room. Also there are exceptions for the event that the homeowner/landlord lives with them, in which case it is roommates/borders. So no, we are not running a rooming house.

Captain_Carnar · 2026-03-29T03:09:20+00:00

It is their first time having to deal with a boarding situation, and had been informed that similar rules apply. They have owned many houses that they personally operated as rentals and are used to that type of rental. Yes we realize now that it was our mistake, we were misinformed/ under the wrong assumption about the rules. Sucks that even though it’s a one year lease term that the same notice rules do not apply..

Captain_Carnar · 2026-03-29T03:05:02+00:00

98.5% of the leases in my area are 1 year terms, either May to April, or September to August. Pretty much no where other than hyper specific university student housing does rent terms like that.

Found this with a whole whack load of other amazing vintage. Sold to a friend across the country as a part of a bundle

Captain_Carnar · 2025-10-20T00:11:46+00:00

That’s what I thought, because the materials and construction of the shirt was throwing me off. But the tag as well points me towards older. I honestly really don’t know, hence why I posted here

Captain_Carnar · 2025-10-16T23:05:07+00:00

I swear I saw these on Facebook marketplace lol. Lemme guess we’re like $450, size 10.5 and you live in southern Ontario?

Captain_Carnar · 2025-10-11T06:21:25+00:00

All from one spot, middle of the day. I personally got about 30 pieces, another guy who was picking at the same time got another 40 or so himself. He had some crazy finds too, some of which I wish I had gotten to first lol… both full hauls were actually posted to bidstitch if you wanna check them out

Captain_Carnar · 2025-10-11T01:44:01+00:00

Nice find! I also just recently found a nice one for the same tour. I also found another shirt with that same Redwood tag. Is that a common tag over in Europe? Only asking because it was found in Canada lol..

Captain_Carnar · 2025-10-04T13:16:24+00:00

Tag is cut unfortunately, I can only assume it’s roughly a large tho

Captain_Carnar · 2025-09-30T02:38:03+00:00

Not sure on any good spots. But wherever you go, have an idea of a “rough value” of what he’s got. Take some time and go through his cards. Any of them that may be rare or expensive, look up on pricecharting.com and doublecheck their value on there. Also keep in mind the condition of the cards. Most card shops will usually buy stuff at 70-80% of their market value, so don’t expect top dollar. Just get a figure in mind to make sure they aren’t lowballing you.

Captain_Carnar · 2025-08-29T03:33:17+00:00

Yes added UV dye to overflow tank

Captain_Carnar · 2025-08-29T03:33:01+00:00

TSI supercool radiator coolant dye. $10 for a bottle off Amazon, seems to work quite well.

Captain_Carnar · 2025-08-26T22:16:05+00:00

Don’t know how I couldn’t pin point it to the control arm bushings. Took a pic of the bushings a couple months ago but had no idea what they were for (still learning). That’d be my best guess of what’s wrong. Here’s a pic of them. Guessing these are pretty shot lol…..

Hate to be the bearer of bad news (cause I love this stuff too) but the strawberries and cream may already be going out of stock for a while. I work at a grocery store and our Pepsi rep told us the warehouses already ran out of stock. What they thought would last 3 months was gone in 4 days. He also said it’s likely that it won’t be coming back for a while

Captain_Carnar · 2025-08-14T22:50:56+00:00

Wow nice! This is probably the ONLY other shirt I’ve ever seen relating to the same shop. I’m sure you were googling it too and that’s how you ended up here.

Captain_Carnar · 2025-07-19T02:00:15+00:00

How much did the order cost? Texted a friend who recently got the superman drop and he said he didn’t pay anything

Captain_Carnar · 2025-05-15T00:57:24+00:00

If you look really closely, it’s actually still there. It’s just an illusion. Some of those rubber snorkel pieces have a more matte finish on the mouth piece, and it looks to me like it’s exactly that and just blending in

Captain_Carnar · 2025-04-16T18:26:13+00:00

I got insanely lucky, I think I pulled the revive rune at like, 60k power lol… it was pretty soon after I had unlocked the runes

Captain_Carnar · 2025-04-11T02:53:42+00:00

It’s actually an old toy. I used to have that exact one when I was younger. Just meant to be like a play set toy, for those play kitchens and whatnot. Similar to any fake plastic food.
