Unearth a truly bizarre and crispy piece of 90s history with this authentic 1996 'Curly Fries' promotional t-shirt. The striking graphic, born from a collaboration between The French Fry Board and potato giants like Simplot and Ore-Ida, features a surreal chef character with fries for hair, rendered in a bold, eye-catching design. It's the kind of obscure pop culture artifact that serves as an instant conversation starter, celebrating the golden age of quirky promotional merch.
Crafted on a classic Hanes Beefy-T tag, this shirt is made from a durable, heavyweight cotton that has softened beautifully over the decades, offering a comfortable, broken-in feel. The black fabric has achieved a perfect, even fade, providing an ideal canvas for the vibrant red text and screen-printed graphic, which shows just the right amount of light crackling for that authentic vintage look. This piece tells a story, complete with a few small white paint spatters from 1996 that mark it as a true one-of-a-kind survivor.
For collectors of unique graphic tees, food-related ephemera, or standout 90s streetwear, this shirt is a must-have. It's a wearable piece of advertising art that you simply won't find anywhere else. Rock a piece of history that's as unique and satisfying as a perfect curly fry.
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.
