1970s | Bell’s Scotch Whisky | Ringer T-Shirt | White / Blue – XXS

Description:

Item: Classic 1970s cotton ringer T-shirt featuring the Bell’s Old Scotch Whisky crest and Arthur Bell & Sons plc distillers branding. Bold multicolour print with contrast blue ribbed collar and cuffs, giving it that unmistakable period advertising look. Soft, lightweight cotton with the slim, slightly longer cut typical of 1970s tees.

Era: 1970s.

Brand: Unbranded (promotional piece for Bell’s Old Scotch Whisky).

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Light, even wear with gentle softening to the cotton. Print remains strong and well defined, with only minor ageing that adds character rather than detracts.

Provenance Note:
Alcohol and spirits promotional T-shirts from the 1970s were produced in limited runs for events, distributors, and internal use, not for mass retail. Most were worn hard and discarded, making survivors scarce. Bell’s is one of the most historically important Scottish whisky houses, and pieces like this sit at the intersection of advertising history and vintage streetwear. It’s a genuine period promotional garment, carrying both the heritage of Scotch whisky and the bold graphic culture of 1970s branding.

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.
