Design Description
With walls plastered in posters, photographs, and rare LPs, and a sound system blasting everything from deep soul to death metal, stepping into Bleecker Bob’s was a genuine rock ‘n’ roll experience, even if you were just there to browse. The legendary New York City record store was founded in 1967 by Bob Plotnik, a law school graduate whose obsession with doo-wop records inspired him to open Village Oldies, a second-floor shop on Bleecker Street. As longtime employee John DeSalvo recalled, Plotnik figured having his own store would be a good way to get his hands on rare records for less money. The shop eventually relocated to 179 MacDougal Street before settling at 118 West 3rd Street in the early ’80s. By the late ’70s, the explosion of punk rock had helped make Bleecker Bob’s a legendary destination for music fans, musicians, and obsessive record collectors alike. Over the decades, Plotnik kept the bins stocked with everything from obscure rockabilly and vintage soul to hardcore punk and breakbeat funk, always staying one step ahead of the latest collector craze. Unfortunately, even a Greenwich Village institution wasn't immune to the neighborhood's skyrocketing rents, and after more than four decades of musical history, Bleecker Bob’s finally closed its doors in 2013.
Product 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.*Heather CVC Colors: 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 48% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Athletic Heather and Black Heather CVC: 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Heather Prism Colors: 99% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 1% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Heather Prism Blue: 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of shirts offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible. Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart
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! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
