Vintage Modern Emoji "Face with Tears of Joy" T-Shirt - XL
This isn't just a shirt; it's a cultural artifact from the peak of digital communication. The iconic "Face with Tears of Joy" emoji transcended the screen to become a universal symbol for pure, unadulterated laughter. In a truly esoteric moment of pop culture history, this pictograph was so ubiquitous that Oxford Dictionaries named it their 2015 Word of the Year—the first and only time an image has received the honor. This tee captures that specific moment in internet history, a time when a simple graphic could convey a complex emotion understood across the globe. It's a piece of digital folklore, a nod to the language we created when words just weren't enough.
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.
