Akira 1988 Longsleeve - Found at the Bins

I grabbed a cart and headed straight for the back where they were rolling out a fresh rotation of blue bins. It was a pretty standard Tuesday morning—same regulars, same smell of old laundry, and everyone moving fast to get the best spot. I put my headphones in, pulled on my gloves, and started sifting through a massive pile of bedding and generic hoodies, mostly just looking for some decent fill for the shop.

Then I saw a faded black sleeve sticking out from under a heavy wool blanket. I pulled it free and realized exactly what I was holding before I even saw the full front graphic: the Akira long sleeve. It was perfectly worn in, and when I checked the neck, the Fashion Victim tag was still there. I honestly couldn't believe it was just sitting there unpicked. I tossed it into my cart, trying to keep a straight face, and buried it under a pile of Wranglers just to be safe.

"I can officially retire from the bins."
