The Archies 1967 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

The Archies were a fictional rock band that is best remembered for their appearance as an animated TV series, though first appeared in comic book form in 1967. The fictional band was inspired by the success of the 1966 TV series, The Monkees, in particular, by Don Kirshner, who had managed the initially-fictional band, and wanted an act that he could fully control. Studio musicians were assembled by Kirshner in 1968 to perform various songs, leading to several LPs and singles being released. “Sugar, Sugar” is the most famous, and went to number one on the pop chart in 1969, sold over six million copies, and was certified gold. In the Hot 100, it was ranked as the No. 1 song of that year, the only time a fictional band has ever claimed the annual Hot 100 top spot.

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!
