 T-shirt/clothing shops in LA? Ah I finally get to ask a question in the LA forum...hehe
I'm heading to LA in two weeks and I'm trying to figure out a few decent tshirt shops in one vicinity that we can hit up. Nothing too extravagant, just decent shirts with good designs would work.
And aside from Span,...any other good JP shops I should check?

there was a sneaker/streetwear/toy store about every 2 feet along a certain stretch of Melrose. I'm not even exaggerating either. it seemed like there was at least 1 per block.

Go to La Brea (south of Melrose) and visit Union, Stussy, and Undefeated (all three in a row). Supreme is also close by on Fairfax.

this trip is more of a holiday/meet my boyfriend's family/see LA for the first time trip...which is why it's planned around New Year's

well... i caught the end of the sf sale, and i asked if i missed anything cool, and the guy said most of the stuff that sold out was just some wallets and one-offs. they still had cases upon cases of stuff at the end.
