Dalton & Vasquez Wagon and Carriage Makers 1882 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

---

Adolfo Vasquez learned the blacksmith trade in Los Angeles, California. His sister Maria Jesus married Winnall A. Dalton in California, and Adolfo and Dalton went into business together in 1882 making wagons and carriages in Tucson, Arizona.  Their shop was a simple pole building, but what they lacked in modern facilities and equipment was more than made up for by skill and craftsmanship. Dalton, himself a man of culture and an artisan of rare skill, while Vasquez was both a master blacksmith and a splendid mechanic. The carriages that rolled out of their shop were works of art, made principally from second growth hickory and yellow poplar wood with Norway iron hand-forgings, all trimmed and painted like the finest home furnishings of the time. Once word got out about Dalton & Vasquez’s premium product, orders came in from around the country for what would today be considered a limited production luxury car.

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!
