Description
The United States Navy Fighter Weapons School was established in 1969 at Naval Air Station Miramar in California with the intention of taking the best pilots from various squadrons and training them to be the best of the best. Informally known as TOP GUN (or TOPGUN), the program hoped to have these pilots go on to train others upon rejoining their squadrons. In 1986 a movie of the same name not only brought the school to the forefront of pop-culture, but also had a side effect of increasing recruiting turnouts. In 1996, NAS Miramar was transferred to the Marine Corps and the TOP GUN program was integrated into the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) at NAS Fallon in the Nevada desert.
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.

Sizing
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.
