Screen printed t-shirts really start to make their presence felt in the 1950s. Willy Wonka Killed A Kid Justice For Augustus T-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.
Willy Wonka Killed A Kid Justice For Augustus T-Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
The t-shirt is a navy 100% cotton Next Level t-shirt in a medium Willy Wonka Killed A Kid Justice For Augustus T-Shirt. It is very light and the cotton is very soft. Quite appropriate for the hot and humid climate where I reside. I like Next Level tees. They are slightly baggier than standard American Apparel t-shirts. The original tags are on the t-shirt so we know that it was manufactured in US. The print itself is one color and slightly grungy looking so it is very difficult for me to judge the quality. The white print on the dark shirt is vivid enough though so I have no complaints and as the design doesn’t use so much ink (plastisol is my guess) it is soft.
Simple designs usually make a tee wearable and this shirt is no exception but as I said above, this t-shirt looks a bit like a vintage label or logo and generically so. So unless people have watched they TV show, the t-shirt will more than likely not make an impression or be a conversation piece. Unless of course you bring it up yourself and that’s just weird. The tee is wearable, but it’s just not special. I haven’t seen many Vikings inspired t-shirts but even if I was a big fan, I can’t honestly see myself buying this one.
