1996 | Tour de Cure | Volunteer Event T-Shirt | Yellow – L

Description:

Item: Vintage 1996 Tour de Cure volunteer cycling event T-shirt with large front and back prints, promoting the American Diabetes Association charity ride. Classic single-day event piece with full sponsor graphic on the reverse. Standard 90s boxy cut with straight hem and relaxed shoulders.

Era: 1990s (dated 1996)

Brand: Unbranded event print (official Tour de Cure volunteer shirt)

Condition: Good vintage condition. Light general wear and softening to the fabric from age and washing, which adds to the authentic feel. Print remains clear and bold on both sides.

Provenance Note:
These charity and volunteer event shirts are some of the most interesting survivors from the 1990s, produced in limited runs and never intended to last decades. The double-sided print, bold colour and dated graphics make this a genuine time capsule of mid-90s American cycling culture and grassroots fundraising. Honest wear only enhances its character and tells the story of a shirt that was actually used for what it was made for.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation, however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
