Abarth & Co. Shield 1954 Vintage Kid’s T-Shirt

Over 10,000 individual race victories, 10 world records, and 133 international titles are part of the racing heritage behind the Abarth marque. In fact, success in competition has always been one of the cornerstones of Abarth, and it is no less important now than when Karl ‘Carlo’ Abarth founded Abarth & Co. in 1949. They called him The Wizard, though his secret was neither magic nor miracle, rather an eye for refinement and an ear for careful tuning. Abarth started out producing aftermarket tuning kits for production cars, containing everything an enthusiast would need to take their car’s engine to the next level. To supplement the cost of producing tuning kits, Abarth branched out into developing performance exhaust systems that were bolt-on upgrades that were factory tuned to specific vehicles. These aftermarket exhaust systems were a hit and, coupled with their premium price, helped fund the firm’s next phase of development that took them from aftermarket parts manufacturer to all-out tuning shop capable of developing complete performance models based on production vehicles. This one is based on the 1954 badge, which featured a more detailed scorpion graphic along with the company’s formal name.

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 Gildan 5000B tees, one of the best-wearing kid’s 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, this youth pro weight tee is perfect for every kid who wants a comfortable shirt to play, relax, or romp around in and our durable, high-quality prints will survive many adventures.

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!
