Illinois California Express (ICX) got their start in 1936 as Rocky Mountain Lines, but after a series of acquisitions and mergers post-war, they rebranded themselves as ICX in 1948. Throughout the 60s and 70s, ten other carriers were acquired and merged into ICX operations. In their heyday, the company had 30 terminals in 15 states, and maintained over 2,500 pieces of equipment. Like many trucking companies of the era, ICX had a difficult time after deregulation, and 48 years of successful operation came to a screeching halt in 1984 when ICX shut their doors and became another fallen flag of the American highways.
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.
