Attach your artwork and the model prints it with the faded, cracked look of a shirt that has been washed fifty times.
Vintage and streetwear brands do not sell crisp prints. The whole appeal is a graphic that looks like it survived a decade of wash cycles: softened colour, hairline cracks through the ink, and edges that have started to break up. A clean template mockup kills that entirely.
Attaching your artwork to a real photo lets the model apply both at once — the placement on the garment, and the wear on the ink. It fades the colours into the cotton, cracks the heaviest areas of coverage, and keeps the whole thing sitting inside the fabric rather than on top of it.
Upload the shirt photo: A real person in a plain tee. Soft natural light suits the washed aesthetic better than hard studio lighting.
Attach your artwork: Add the graphic as a reference image. Start from a clean version — the wear is applied on top, so you keep full control of how far it goes.
Ask for the vintage finish: 'Print this across the chest, 28 cm wide, with a faded, cracked vintage screen-print finish that follows the fabric folds.'
Worn, not clean: Faded colour and cracked ink coverage, the way a real aged screen print breaks up.
Sits in the cotton: The graphic fades into the weave instead of floating above the photo.
Dial the wear: Ask for 'lightly faded' or 'heavily distressed' and re-run — 5 credits per variation.
How do I make a vintage t-shirt mockup? Upload a photo of someone in a plain tee, attach your graphic, and ask for a faded cracked vintage screen-print finish at a stated width.
Can I control how distressed it looks? Yes. Say 'lightly faded', 'moderately worn' or 'heavily distressed and cracked' and re-run until it matches your brand.
Does it work on dark shirts? Yes. On black and washed-black tees, ask for the print 'faded toward the shirt colour' to get the authentic grey-out effect.
Can I use the results on a store listing? Yes, no watermark on any plan. You need the rights to the source photo.
