Jerry Jardine founded Jardine Header Co. in 1958, starting in his parents’ Pasadena, California backyard while working at Pearly’s Muffler Shop and building custom headers on the side. As demand grew, he opened a shop nearby in Garden Grove. Drawing inspiration from European sports car header design, Jardine successfully adapted the engineering for American vehicles. His own ’58 348 Impala served as the original testbed and first part number. At a time when headers were typically custom-built on each car, Jardine helped pioneer the concept of a true bolt-on header sold in a box. His TRI-Y design delivered a broader torque curve, making it ideal for heavier street cars and popular with hot rodders and street racers. This design is inspired by one of the earliest hand-painted logos from his shop truck.
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.

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.
