Thiokol Snowcat Division 1929 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

Based in Ogden, Utah, Thiokol’s namesake product was a stinky compound that clogged laboratory sinks and was resistant to any kind of solvent. That lab accident created substance turned out to be synthetic rubber, which ended up as the stabilizer in solid-fuel rockets. Thiokol also built ski lifts as post WWII, it was a land rush to build ski areas everywhere it snowed, and companies like Thiokol jumped into the business in a big way. As they strung up poles with pulleys and suspended chairs, they saw a clear need for a vehicle that could both shuttle staff around the mountain, and groom trails at the same time, so before you know it, they were in the snowcat business as well. Thiokol built Imp, Super-Imp and Spryte snow machines in its factory in Logan, Utah. It also had a heavy-duty version called the Juggernaut, a four-tracked design similar to the Tucker Sno-Cat that could accommodate heavy equipment like drilling rigs and small cranes.

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!
