Sunshine In Asbury Park 1970 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

The Sunshine In (yes, one ‘n’ – it’s an Aquarian thing) opened its doors as a concert venue in the summer of 1970 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Housed in an old concrete block building with a high wooden, open rafter type ceiling that used to be a municipal bus garage, the Sunshine was bare bones to say the least. The building stood on Kingsley Street, and despite having no bar, they did alright as a strict music venue as the block had bars a plenty, and concert goers patronized them between sets. From Bruce Springsteen and Kiss, to Black Sabbath and Bachman Turner Overdrive, the Sunshine In hosted countless acts between 1970 and 1974. The venue had a unique sound that can still be experienced through live recordings from various concerts, almost all of which were bootlegs that can be found online.

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!
