A whole generation probably knows the Betty Jane Tavern from the T-shirt worn by camp counselor Gary in the 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer, but the place was very real. Located in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, beside the state’s largest freshwater lake, Betty Jane Tavern served locals and visitors throughout the 1970s and ’80s with cold drinks, hot food, and a little regional character. Playing off the area’s Lenni Lenape heritage, the tavern advertised itself as having the “best firewater in Lake Hopatcong.” Whether you were stopping in for a stiff drink after a day on the lake or looking for a hot meal, Betty Jane was a familiar neighborhood watering hole for years. This design features both front and back prints... for the front-only print version, check our shop!
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.
