My encounter with 30-year-old Josh Lee happened by chance when I popped by Woaw Gallery to check out an exhibition<\/a> of rare band tees. In the back room of the gallery, I mingled with other band tee enthusiasts before popping the question, \u201cDoes anyone trade and sell tees full-time?\u201d Everyone was quick to point me in the direction of Josh, who seemed shy about speaking with me (maybe I came off a little too excited). However, after getting a mic clipped on him, I watched as he opened up and eagerly shared his passion and work selling vintage t-shirt collections.<\/p>\n

As part of our Beyond the 9 to 5 series, we explore unique jobs in Singapore. And when someone tells you they collect, trade, and sell vintage t-shirt collections for a living? You just have to find out more.<\/p>\n
