What makes a Chrome Hearts tee
Chrome Hearts started in Los Angeles in 1988. Richard Stark founded it with Leonard Kamhout and John Bowman, and they made leather goods first. The silver jewelry came after, and it's still what the brand is best known for.
The tees carry the same marks as the jewelry. You get the cross logo and the old gothic lettering, usually on black or white cotton.

How to wear it
