This isn't your typical biker tee; it's a true historical oddity where the open road meets the high seas. The graphic features a stunningly detailed illustration of the HMS Rose, a replica 18th-century frigate famous for sailing the Atlantic and later starring as the HMS Surprise in the film *Master and Commander*. The truly esoteric detail is the official Harley-Davidson tag, suggesting this was a special souvenir from a port-of-call rally, perhaps in Bridgeport, CT, where the ship was once docked. It's a rare piece that captures two powerful symbols of freedom and adventure—the roar of a Hog and the snap of a sail. This shirt embodies the spirit of 'Sailing the Winds of History,' whether on asphalt or ocean waves.
The Faded Vibes Sizing Chart
Now that you have your measurements, here’s how we translate the pit-to-pit number into the modern sizes you see on our product pages.
Find Your Fit
Vintage sizing is all over the place. A "Large" from the 80s fits way different than one from today, and years of washing and wearing can change a shirt's shape. That's why we ignore the original tag and hand-measure every single shirt we sell.
Want to be sure? The best way is to compare our measurements to a favorite t-shirt you already own. Our Vintage T-Shirt Sizing Guide shows you exactly how.
