Vintage Sweatshirt Project

[flat-top]

Here's my latest creation. The sweatshirt is a great double V from Polo, with no logos or anything, "aged" to make it look worn.
The image comes from the paper tag from a pair of 1940's work pants.
I love it. Now I just need the temperature to drop so I can wear it. It's in the 90's today here in Palookaville.

Looks great Flat Top!!

It continually amazes me the ingenuity that members have in creating things like this!! It just looks fantastic. Did you enlarge the image and get it printed onto one of those 'iron on' sheets that you can use at home?

Really inspiring stuff - cheers!! :eusa_clap

Thank you sir!
I work with some great people at a local shop. I present my ideas and they are able to make them come to life.
The image is digitally transferred onto the shirt, so it kinda looks like it was "always" on there.

Why thank you!
If there were enough interest, I could get more of these made, but not on sweats. I could do them on tees....

Very sharp! I just picked up a couple of (no logo) Polo vintage looking sweatshirts myself. They were on clearance in a consignment store. They're really nice shirts.

Nice. When you say "aged" what all did you do?
Thanks

Well, Polo did it for me actually! There's "wear" around the collar and cuffs, so it doesn't look brand new..and that's good!

Lemme guess - much less $ than a Buzz Rickson, right!?!

I got this on clearance, so about $70 less!

I just got my hands on 2 deadstock 1940's tanks. Not ribbed like a wife beater, but smooth like an undershirt. I was thinking of putting the boxer image from above on them and selling them. Anybody out there interested before I put em on Ebay?

What size are they?

If you took order on the boxing sweatshirts, like MK did for the last run of the MKMF and was done for the NRA shirts, I think you could do well here on the FL. Maybe both T-shirts and sweatshirts?

The tanks are a Large (42-44).
I can do tees, but sweatshirts are tougher. Finding inexpensive blank vintage style sweatshirts is not easy.
