About Roxtee
We were fed up with "vintage" band shirts that quickly fade, lose their shape, and lack the raw energy of real rock and metal. So we said: If nobody else is doing it right, we'll do it ourselves.
the feeling never leaves
In the early 80s...
I was just a kid who loved music, bought the swag, kept ticket stubs, backstage passes, LPs, and Rolling Stone magazines.
From the first show and beyond, I accumulated something I couldn't have planned a life built on my love for music. I saved those memories in a trunk, which has now become a vault from the past.
Roxtee was always in it. I just hadn't opened it yet.
found memories
Found memories remind us of who we were, what we lived through, and what still stays with us.
At Roxtee, every piece is designed to feel like a found memory raw, nostalgic, and alive with emotion.
My personal timeline
1985 — First stadium concert. Deep Purple, UIC Pavilion, Chicago. February 16th. Perfect Strangers reunion tour.
1987 — Senior year of high school. My locker was adorned with band stickers.
1985 –present — Hundreds of shows across four decades. Arena rock, thrash metal, stadium tours, club shows. From Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rush, Mötley Crüe, Deep Purple, and many others, the energy in the room always remains. Fans enter those shows with one state of mind: to be one with the band and the music.
June 2025 — Gifted Metallica pit tickets for my birthday. Hadn’t seen the band so close since a show in Chicago in 82”.
2026 — Roxtee was born.
