Description


Variflex Skateboards was started by the Losi brothers in 1977 but spent years struggling with an identity crisis as one brother pushed to produce pro-quality boards while the other pushed for mass-market products for sporting goods and toy stores. The mass-market direction seemed to be winning as you could find their boards just about everywhere in the early ’80s and to their credit, they were much better than the competition in this space. Sure, they were a little heavier and the graphics were mostly dorky, but not in a cool way, but they were affordable, decent riding boards that ended being many kids’ first skateboard. One of their specialties was making the skateboard equivalent of the mockbuster movie with graphics and colors that looked a lot like big name brand decks at a glance. By the mid-’80s Variflex was trying to shake their big box store reputation and go pro, but sadly this was a little too late and despite making some great strides, it just wasn’t enough to get most avid skaters to pickup a Variflex.

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.
