About this collection

  • Printed to order on heavyweight, garment-dyed Comfort Colors 1717
  • Sizes S–2XL in colors from Ivory and Butter to Moss and Black
  • Arcades, roller rinks, boomboxes and the great wave in every decade's style

Some shirts are funny because of the joke. These are fun because of the memory: a pocket full of arcade quarters, a Saturday at the roller rink, a boombox on your shoulder, and the great wave redrawn the way it would have looked on a surf shop wall in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

Start with Retro for the toys and gadgets you begged for as a kid, or Waves if your nostalgia smells like sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions

Which decades do these cover?
Mostly the 60s through the 90s, with a few Y2K and modern takes on the wave designs.
What shirt are they printed on?
The Comfort Colors 1717: heavyweight ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed for a soft, slightly broken-in feel from the first wear.
How does the sizing run?
It's a relaxed unisex fit. Order your usual size for a classic fit, or size up for an oversized look. There's a size chart on every product page.
Will the print fade?
The ink is printed directly into the cotton. Wash it inside out in cold water and it holds up well. Garment-dyed shirts mellow a little over time, which is part of the look.
Are they made to order?
Yes. Every shirt is printed when you order it, which means no warehouse full of leftovers and a wider choice of colors.
Do they make good gifts?
They're one of the easiest gifts to get right. Pick the joke that sounds like them, and they'll think of you every time someone laughs at it.
