Released in 1980, Airplane! is a wildly irreverent comedy that helped redefine the movie spoof genre. A parody of the disaster films popular throughout the 1970s, particularly the Airport series, the movie follows Ted Striker, a traumatized former fighter pilot who boards a commercial flight in hopes of winning back his flight attendant girlfriend, Elaine. When the flight crew is incapacitated by food poisoning, Striker must overcome his fear of flying and somehow land the plane. Featuring an all-star cast, Airplane! delivered a relentless barrage of absurd situations, ridiculous sight gags, clever wordplay, and hilariously deadpan performances. Packed with endlessly quotable lines, the film became a massive box-office success and remains one of the most influential and beloved comedies of all time.
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.
