Screen printed t-shirts really start to make their presence felt in the 1950s. Don’t mind me being unhinged and dramatic Garfield shirt This is very significant when it comes to screen printed t-shirts and the origins of the custom tee. The garment that started out as a simple undershirt to be worn under military uniforms takes a more prominent role in the years following World War II. Civilians start wearing them as standalone tops and it’s not long before the idea of custom printed t-shirts emerges. Screen printing had taken root in the United States during the 1930s and by the Fifties, companies in Miami are printing promotional t-shirts with the names of resorts and local attractions. Screen printing takes a huge leap in the Sixties when it becomes synonymous with the Pop Art movement. Works by artists such as Andy Warhol not only publicise screen printing, they open it to a mass market.

It’s a four-color print and very soft Don’t mind me being unhinged and dramatic Garfield shirt. On darker t-shirts, to get a vibrant finish you have to use more ink, usually an under-layer of white. This can make the print a little heavy which I am not particularly fond of. I think this t-shirt only uses one layer and that’s why the print is light and heavy. It would also explain why the colors are not so vibrant. I’m not saying vibrant colors are required, in fact, I think the muted colors on this t-shirt suit the design. The print quality is not so bad, but it’s not great. In the white (whitish) part of the design, the black from the t-shirt seeps through and the spoiler alert text is not sharp. It may be intentional, but it just looks like a poor print. It’s very small and doesn’t take away from the t-shirt too much though.
The tees are $22.99 with free US shipping or $5 shipping to US. I guess it’s not a bad price.
