1970s | American Eventwear | “Greers Annual 4th of July Bang” T-Shirt - M

Description:

Item: Single-sided printed cotton T-shirt in pale sky blue, produced for the “Greers Annual 4th of July Bang” event. Hand-drawn style typography with a loose, almost folk-art quality typical of 1970s local celebration and community event shirts. Lightweight cotton with a very soft handle, showing decades of wear and washing.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / American eventwear

Condition: Heavily worn vintage condition with extensive marks, staining, and surface wear throughout. The fabric is well softened, with thinning consistent with long-term use. No catastrophic damage, but the wear is substantial and visible, forming a central part of the piece’s character. This is not a pristine example, but an honest survivor.

Provenance Note: This shirt was never intended to last. Made for a single summer celebration, worn hard, and used without sentiment, it carries the visual record of real life rather than preservation. The stains, fading, and softened cotton are the result of repetition and time, not design. Pieces like this survive by accident, and their appeal lies precisely in that survival, a local moment from the 1970s, still present in fabric and ink, worn down but unmistakably real.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
