In 1944, Al Dean founded Dean Van Lines with little more than a few dollars in the bank and a used truck, eventually building the Long Beach, California-based business into one of the nation's largest moving companies. A passionate motorsports enthusiast, Dean began racing midget cars in the early 1950s, and as his business flourished, so did his involvement in racing. He eventually established the Dean Van Lines Racing Team, fielding a series of highly competitive race cars bearing the name Dean Van Lines Special. These machines became formidable contenders on the track, setting lap records and capturing multiple pole positions at the Indianapolis 500. Sadly, Dean passed away in 1967, and within a decade, his namesake moving company had been absorbed by another carrier. His racing legacy, however, lives on, with the legendary Dean Van Lines Special cars remaining highly prized among vintage racing enthusiasts and collectors.
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.
