JAWA Motorcycles 1929 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

---

JAWA Motorcycles was founded in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1929 by František Janeček, who bought the motorcycle division of Wanderer and by concatenating the first letters of Janeček and Wanderer, created the name JAWA. By the 1950s, JAWA was one of the top motorcycle manufacturers in the world and exported its popular model 350 Pérák into over 120 countries. The 350 California achieved similar popularity in the 1970s, and you could spot them in their typical red and black livery everywhere from Californian beaches to Auckland city streets. By 1990 increasing competition from Japanese manufacturers had finally taken its toll on the company and production ceased, but to this day enthusiasts for these amazing Czech motorcycles remains very active.

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!
