Silicon Graphics Computer Systems 1981 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

Silicon Graphics, Inc. (stylized as SiliconGraphics, and later rebranded as SGI) was an American high-performance computing manufacturer founded in Mountain View, California in 1981. SGI was dedicated to manufacturing high-performance workstations, software design, and supercomputers for professionals specializing in 3D graphics. At its peak in the ’90s, Silicon Graphics had legendary status among 3D artists and graphic designers who leveraged the unique power of these workstations as they were at the bleeding edge of visual computing. The ’90s also saw Silicon Graphics workstations become the go-to workstations in Hollywood, with SGI machines contributing special effects, post-production work, and 3D animation to over 40 major productions between 1993 and 2003. As PC’s became more powerful, and dedicated 3D animation and video editing applications became available for them, SGI’s market share suffered irreparable harm, leading to the company’s ultimate demise in 2009.

Details

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Sizing

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.

All sizes are provided in inches!

*Heather colors are 52% combed and ring-spun cotton/48% polyester. Athletic and Black Heather is 90% combed and ring-spun cotton/10% polyester.
