Design Description
Introduced in the early 1970s by Aurora Plastics Corporation, Skittle Pool was a tabletop billiards game that put a unique spin on traditional pool, replacing the familiar cue stick with a swinging ball suspended from a metal frame. Players aimed a stationary cue ball using a rotating mechanism, then released the pendulum-like striker to send the cue ball crashing into a rack of miniature billiard balls. Played on a compact, green-felt table measuring approximately two feet square, Skittle Pool offered much of the challenge of traditional billiards without requiring a full-sized pool table. The game was part of Aurora's popular Skittle series and was famously promoted by actor Don Adams, best known for playing Maxwell Smart on the television comedy Get Smart. With its clever mechanics, colorful packaging, and distinctly '70s appeal, Skittle Pool became a memorable example of the era's inventive family entertainment.
Product Details
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature โrelic-ingโ 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 canโt be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything youโve dreamed of and more โ 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.ย 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 youโre 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.
