Betty Jane Tavern Darts Team 1972 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

A whole generation of folks probably know Betty Jane Tavern just from the t-shirt worn by camp counselor Gary in the 2001 satirical comedy film, Wet Hot American Summer, but it was an actual place. Betty Jane Tavern existed in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, home of the largest freshwater lake in the state, covering about 4 square miles in area. Playing off the heavy influence of the Lenni Lenape tribe of the area, Betty Jane Tavern advertised having the ‘best firewater in Lake Hopatcong.’ Whether you were looking for a stiff drink or a hot meal, Betty Jane was there for you throughout the ’70s and ’80s. This two-sided design includes the Betty Jane Tavern front print and the BJ’s Darts Team back print… for the front print only version, click here!

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.

 

 

All sizes are provided in inches!
