Design Description
Poloron Products, headquartered in New Rochelle, New York, manufactured an eclectic range of products, including lawn ornaments, camping gear, lawnmowers, and snow blowers. Looking to capitalize on the booming snowmobile market, the company introduced its first sleds in 1970: the 295cc Cyclone and the 299cc Tornado. Built at Poloron's lawnmower plant in Michigan City, Indiana, the machines stood out as being proudly American-made at a time when many competitors were importing or producing snowmobiles in Canada. Although Poloron's snowmobiles were well-built and mechanically sound, the company struggled to establish a foothold in the marketplace. Much of the problem came down to marketing. While rival manufacturers showcased their machines carving through deep powder in breathtaking mountain landscapes, Poloron's advertisements relied on obvious studio backdrops and artificial winter sets that failed to capture the excitement of the sport. The uninspired promotional campaigns made the brand difficult to take seriously in an increasingly competitive industry. Sales never reached expectations, and after just two model years, Poloron decided to exit the snowmobile business. In 1972, the company liquidated its remaining inventory in a massive fire sale, bringing its brief venture into the snowmobile market to an end. Today, the Cyclone and Tornado are uncommon survivors from one of the industry's more unusual and short-lived American manufacturers.
Product 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.*Heather CVC Colors: 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 48% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Athletic Heather and Black Heather CVC: 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Heather Prism Colors: 99% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 1% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Heather Prism Blue: 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of shirts offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible. Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart
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.
All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
