"Lost Generation" 1950's Style Vintage Tee
"Lost Generation" 1950's Style Vintage Tee
Ernest Hemingway coined the term “The Lost Generation” in his masterpiece novel The Sun Also Rises. The term is often used in reference to a group of his contemporaries which included The Great Gatsby author, F. Scott Fitzgerald and many other great writers and artists. The shirt is a tribute to both writers, and the period which saw them come in to their own.
Inspired by 1950’s school athletic wear t-shirts, we designed our graphic tees to have the fit and feel of classic sports knitwear. We feel that when you see the finished product you will agree. Hand-lettered size and chest width on inside collar. We want to produce designs that would look timeless today, or 60 years ago and we believe this is an example of that. This tee will age well and continue to add character over time. Hand screen-printed design.
Medium height classic ribbed collar, slightly shorter sleeves. Slightly longer length relative to width. Slim fit without being too tight. 100% cotton, washed for softness and pre-shrunk. Hand-lettered size and chest width on inside collar. Tends to run small, size up for a less slim fit, or measure the width of your favorite fitting tee and order a similar width. Vintage Black, medium weight. Made in USA.
