Big Kay's Burger Tucson 1986 Vintage Men's T-Shirt

Design Description

Big Kay’s Burger is the fictional diner featured in the 1986 cult movie The Wraith, set in the equally fictional desert town of Brooks, Arizona. Filmed around Tucson, the diner serves as a regular hangout for the movie’s teenage characters. Big Kay’s was actually a real roadside diner at 2627 E. Benson Highway, reportedly dating back to the early 1960s before being demolished in the 1990s. As for The Wraith, it’s pure ’80s cult-movie material—a film that found a much bigger audience on VHS than it did in theaters, helped along by mysterious video-store box art that arguably promised an even cooler movie. The story follows a supernatural stranger who seemingly descends from the sky, materializes behind the wheel of a futuristic sports car, and begins hunting down a murderous gang of desert street racers led by a vicious local bully. Is it cheesy? Absolutely — but that’s a big part of the appeal. Product 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.

Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart

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! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
