Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for L.A. 1992 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for L.A. is an album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released on Epic in 1992. It was Jennings’ third and final album on the label – the previous two being The Eagle (1990) and Clean Shirt (1991), a split album with Willie – and marked the end of his days of being signed to a major imprint. “Just Talkin'” and the title track were released as singles, but failed to chart; the record itself was a commercial disappointment as well, reaching #70 on the country charts. The short liner notes, expressing thanks to several individuals, were written by the singer himself. The final straw for Jennings at Epic came when they asked him to call up radio stations and influence them to play his record: “I thought, boy, there was a time when I wouldn’t do this. Then I thought again. What did I mean, there was a time? I ain’t doing it now.”

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!
