Description
Founded in 1945 by A.M. Bell, Bell Lines Inc. hit the ground running, moving more than 20k shipments over 1.5 million miles in their first year of business. By 1965, Bell Lines went as far north as Detroit, Michigan, south to Charleston, South Carolina, and as far west as Nashville, Tennessee, and east to Raleigh, North Carolina. From their centrally located headquarters in Charleston, West Virginia, and with a network of 25 terminals, Bell Lines never tried to be the biggest, only the best in their carefully defined service areas, something hat may have been their undoing as they were taken over by Smith Transfer of Staunton, Virginia in 1970.
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.
