During the 1970s, Nippondenso was one of Japan’s major manufacturers of spark plugs and electrical components, supplying parts to the country’s rapidly expanding motorcycle industry. Nippondenso plugs were used by Japanese manufacturers both as original equipment and as replacement service parts. As Japanese motorcycles earned a reputation for reliability and increasingly sophisticated high-revving engines, dependable ignition components became essential, and Nippondenso competed closely with other manufacturers to stay out front. Its spark plugs became familiar sights in motorcycle shops, dealerships, racing pits, and toolboxes around the world, helping establish Nippondenso as an important name in the golden age of Japanese motorcycles.
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.
