Opening in 1960 on West Street in Greenwich Village, Ramrod was one of New York City’s most iconic leather bars. Known for its unapologetically masculine atmosphere, the bar became a cornerstone of the city’s gay leather and BDSM scene, attracting a devoted crowd with its dark interiors, strict dress codes, and raw, underground energy. It reflected a broader era of sexual openness and subcultural identity that defined pre-AIDS nightlife in New York. Ramrod was also the scene of the 'West Street Massacre,' a mass shooting that cast a somber shadow over the community. Despite that, the bar stayed in business until 1986, and remains an enduring symbol of a pivotal time in gay history, representing both freedom of expression and the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
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.
