Wabash vintage print t-shirts

[Sloan1874]

I picked up a couple of t-shirts from this company. Interesting concept: using the wabash discharge printing method to create the images rather than simply sticking a transfer image on to the front, thus avoiding any issues about shrinkage and ironing (it's literally part of the t-shirt). Nice array of images, I picked up the bomber command and overalls ones - good quality shirt and the designs are spot-on:

Here are the ones 'in the flesh'. I got them in size medium:

Interesting idea. Back when I wore tees regularly, I always liked ones that were done by screen-printing with a stencil, as they never cracked or wore in the same way as a modern printed tee does. Isn't wabash, in effect, the same thing except in reverse - i.e. bleaching darker cloth to make it selectively lighter?

These look well done. Very sharp images.

Yeah, it means that they're effectively part of the shirt, so they age as a single whole. Also, avoids the design being accidentally pulled if it's caught by an iron.

What country are the actual T's made in?

Apologies for the tardy response. The Tees are made and printed in the UK.

Ooooh, love this! I'll have a look at their selection!

I've worn both mine out. Very comfortable, and they've washed perfectly, no shrinkage.
