Sandvikens Jernverks AB 1868 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

In 1858, Göran Fredrik Göransson began producing steel using the Bessemer process for the first time in the world. In 1862, Göransson founded the company Högbo Stål & Jernwerks AB in Sandviken, Sweden, but went bankrupt just four years later. The company was re-established under the name Sandvikens Jernverks AB in 1868 with Anders Henrik Göransson, son of the founder, as appointed General Manager. Sandvik began manufacturing products from their steel in 1885, leading to a line of high quality hand tools and accessories that would continue on for decades, and range from hand saws to wood chisels. In the 1920s, chainsaw bars, chains, and other accessories were added, and quickly became favorites of loggers and timber workers worldwide. Fast-forward into the late 1990s, and Sandvik divested themselves of their chainsaw and hand tool lines to focus on the manufacture of specialty steels and mining equipment. Today, Sandvik tools are highly valued by woodworkers and collectors alike, as their quality has been proven to be second to none.

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!
