Powroll Performance Products 1964 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Powroll Performance was founded in 1964 by dirt bike enthusiast Paul Olmstead in Bend, Oregon. Little did he know that the side business he started in a cinder block building behind his house would go on to become one of the longest-running performance companies in the motorcycle industry. Paul devised a way to shorten OEM connecting rods, creating a simple and less expensive way to build stroker cranks for OHC four-stroke engines. Powroll’s stroker cranks made great power while increasing reliability and did so at a reasonable price with little to no additional modifications, making them wildly popular. Cranks were Powroll’s primary product, but they built up a pretty extensive catalog of performance parts over the years, all to make dirt bikes go faster. Heading into the 2010s, Powroll was still going strong in the 2000s and had created new products for the emerging modern four-strokes, but the economic crash and massive downturn in motorsports would be the end of Powroll’s amazing run. The company continued to sell old stock for the vintage market for several years, but eventually called it quits with their tooling, machinery, and property being sold off by 2019.

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!
