While working as a junior high school teacher in Daleville, Indiana, Jeff Stoops entered the trucking industry in 1971 to earn extra income during his summer vacations. What began as a seasonal side business quickly grew into a full-time venture, and by 1976 he had founded Stoops Express. The company's growth was nothing short of extraordinary. By 1981, at just 34 years old, Stoops had built a fleet of 137 trucks, generated $15 million in annual revenue, and achieved an astonishing four-year growth rate of 9,372 percent. Stoops Express continued its rapid expansion throughout the decade, reaching a record $45 million in revenue before Stoops sold the company to a Seattle-based railroad operator in 1986.
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.
