Gorgo is a 1961 British science fiction monster movie directed by Eugène Lourié that puts a distinctly British spin on the giant monster movie craze popularized by Japan’s kaiju films. The story follows a pair of salvage operators who capture a prehistoric sea creature off the coast of Ireland and transport it to London, where it becomes a sensational attraction at a circus. Unfortunately, the creature turns out to be little more than a baby, and its enormous mother soon emerges from the ocean to retrieve her offspring. What follows is a spectacular rampage through London, with the towering monster demolishing buildings, crushing military defenses, and leaving much of the city in ruins. Featuring elaborate miniature sets, practical effects, and plenty of old-fashioned monster mayhem, Gorgo has become a cult favorite among fans of classic creature features. Unlike most monster movies of its era, this one has a surprisingly sympathetic twist: the monsters aren't the villains, and the humans arguably get exactly what they deserve.
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.

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.
