Marathon LeTourneau Longview 1970 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

R. G. LeTourneau founded R. G. LeTourneau, Inc. in 1929 in California as a manufacturer of earth moving equipment. Specializing in off-road dump trucks, loaders, and other heavy equipment used in the mining and construction industries, LeTourneau manufactured his products in Longview, Texas. LeTourneau was largely responsible for the invention and development of many types of earth moving machines now widely used. He designed and built machines using technology that was years, sometimes decades, ahead of its time and became recognized worldwide as a leader in the development and manufacture of heavy equipment. After the death of R. G. LeTourneau in 1969, the company was sold to Marathon Manufacturing Company in 1970, and renamed Marathon LeTourneau Company. Despite being sold and renamed several times since, LeTourneau’s Longview, Texas heavy equipment manufacturing facility is still turning out the big iron under the massive, iconic dome structures.

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!
