Vintage Distressed Tennesseean Volunteer State T-Shirt

This t-shirt design was drawn and screen printed with pride by skilled illustrators and printers in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you're ever in the area, stop by for a free tour and see how we make your apparel!

The shirt is a unisex modern fit, slightly tapered to be a little less boxy than the old style of mass-market t-shirts. Most people wear the same size in our shirts as they do in all of their others, but you might go one size larger if you're on the fence. It is pre-shrunk and will shrink very little in the wash. Our model photos feature the actual shirt on our salesperson, Rich, who is 6' 2", 200 lbs and wearing a large.

The fabric is a soft, smooth ringspun cotton and polyester blend with a high thread-count, tight knit. The cotton and polyester alternating in the knit give it a heathered, speckled effect. These are mid-weight shirts - a bit lighter than your mass-market, thick gym class t-shirts, but substantial and not see-through. It's a nice balance between comfort and durability.

We use high-quality QCM screen printing inks, manufactured in Pineville, North Carolina. These inks are vibrant, durable, and highly crack resistant. Some of our designs are intentionally faded or cracked (see product photos), but our inks always "do what they are told" by our printers. We use top-of-the-line printing presses and ovens (to properly cure inks) made by M&R in Roselle, Illinois.

QCM has been one of the most forward-thinking ink manufacturers in the industry, going phthalate-free over ten years ago - way ahead of the curve. They're also CFC-free and rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California.

This t-shirt features a print sure to be enjoyed by any son or daughter of the volunteer state, Tennessee. The fabric composition is 50% cotton and 50% polyester, and the garment can be machine washed. The shirt is made in the USA and imported.
