Late Night With David Letterman 1982 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

Late Night with David Letterman was an American late-night talk show hosted by David Letterman, whose persona was that of a wise-ass little brother, that premiered on NBC on February 1, 1982. He invented, or at least personified, a generation of ironic comedy that commented on the media, even as his show was a part of it. He developed signature goofy segments like “Stupid Pet Tricks” and often found comedy in the mundane, just by being himself in unexpected situations. He hosted Late Night on NBC for 11 years, and then lost out to Jay Leno in the bitter battle to ascend to Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show chair. As a result, Late Night moved to CBS, where he was expected to turn into a grown-up, but Letterman stayed goofy while also finding his more serious side. Politicians came to visit, and he became known as a great interviewer, but remained a comedian and a true king of late night TV.

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.

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!
