This is pure Steven Rhodes: a sun-faded, wholesome aesthetic hiding some seriously dark humor. At first glance, it’s a nostalgic scene of a kid enjoying a day at the ocean, but the punchline is the massive shark ready to strike from behind. The art style is a perfect throwback to the slightly off-kilter educational posters and book covers of the late 70s and early 80s, which makes the morbid optimism of 'Stay Positive!' all the more brilliant. It's a wearable piece of irony, a perfect uniform for anyone who greets impending doom with a thumbs-up and a smile. This tee captures that feeling of blissfully ignoring the obvious, a true modern classic.
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.
