Tower of Pizza Las Vegas 1964 Vintage Men's T-Shirt

Description

Tower of Pizza opened its doors to the denizens of the Las Vegas Strip back in 1964. Behind the business with the iconic leaning tower neon sign was Gaspare "Jasper" Speciale, a well-known bookie and loan shark from New York. Serving traditional New York style pizza and authentic Italian dishes into the small hours, Tower of Pizza quickly became the late night spot for entertainers to grab a bite after performing at the casinos. The joint was also known as a mob hang-out where many deals went down in the dark corners and back rooms over the years. In 1979 Speciale sold the business to Bobby Capozzoli, the son of a California restaurateur who'd moved to Las Vegas. In the mid '80s, when the rent tripled, Capozzoli moved it out to Boulder Highway and the Stardust became the new mob hangout, though the new location only lasted another 15 years or so.

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!
