Retro Merry Christmas T-Shirt, Vintage Christmas Tree Tee, Distressed Holiday Shirt, Christmas Family Gift
Vintage Christmas Charm, Printed To Last
This Retro Merry Christmas tee brings back the warm, sun-faded look of 1970s holiday prints. The hand-drawn Christmas tree, chunky retro lettering and distressed halftone texture are printed with a soft-hand technique that sinks into the fabric instead of sitting on top of it, so the graphic stays flexible, breathable and crack-free wash after wash.
Soft Sand Cotton You Will Actually Reach For
Cut from mid-weight ring-spun cotton with a smooth, pre-shrunk finish, this shirt is light enough to layer under a cardigan and substantial enough to wear on its own. The warm sand base makes the vintage red and forest green artwork glow in a way plain white tees never manage.

Lovely design and comfortable fabric. The sand shade is a touch darker than it looked on my monitor but I actually prefer it that way. Chest print size is just right, not oversized.
Nostalgic without being tacky, which is hard to find in a Christmas shirt. Layers really nicely under a flannel. Arrived well within the estimated window.
Gift for my mom who loves seventies Christmas decor and she immediately said it looked like something from her childhood. The red and green on the sand base is a great combination.
Washed cold inside out per the instructions and after several washes the print has not cracked or peeled at all. It has faded just slightly which honestly makes it look even more authentic.
Great shirt, print looks fantastic. I went with my normal size and it fits classic rather than slim, so size down if you like it fitted. No complaints about quality.
