Tri-Cities Jarts Championship 1982 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

Lawn darts, more commonly known by the brand name, ‘Jarts,’ were all the rage in the ’70s and ’80s. With a few Jarts, a few friends, and a few beers, American backyard-barbecue-goers would lay down small plastic hoops as targets and play a game not entirely unlike horseshoes. In 1982, some folks in Eastern, Washington decided to hold the First Annual Tri-Cities Jarts Championship event at Columbia Park in Kennewick, Washington. Attracting as many as 200 contestants, law darts were flying everywhere that Saturday, and a good time was had by everyone. Well, other than those involved in several Jart related incidents, but luckily for them, Tri-Cities Ambulance was the event sponsor, so they were taken care of relatively quickly. Needless to say, the second annual event would never happen as intended. 

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!

*Heather colors are 52% combed and ring-spun cotton/48% polyester. Athletic and Black Heather is 90% combed and ring-spun cotton/10% polyester.
