Flight to Lowlands Paradise 1967 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

A Flight to Lowlands Paradise was a music and arts festival held on November 24-25, 1967 in Utrecht, Netherlands. Organized by Utrecht-based artist and painter Bunk Bessels, the festival took place in the Margriethal of Jaarbeurs. The entry fee was 10 Dutch guilders (approximately $4.80), which included breakfast, plus access to the event. The 18-hour-long festival had no top music acts, but include experimental theater, dancing, poetry, films, body painting and massage. On December 28, 1968, a second Flight to Lowlands Paradise was held, postponed by a month from its original date of November 23 in an attempt to get Jimi Hendrix to sign on to the event as the headliner. This didn’t pan out, but Jeff Beck and Jethro Tull did sign on, both cancelled for one reason or another, though they did get one big name in the end – Pink Floyd. The show was sold out to its capacity of 18,000, though many attendees were unable to get inside, resulting in unrest and police intervention.

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.

All sizes are provided in inches!
