The Manufacturer

Anvil was established in 1899 and has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, durable apparel. Initially, the company focused on workwear and uniforms, but over the years, it expanded its product line to include casual and sportswear. Anvil became well-known for its comfortable and stylish t-shirts, which were widely used for screen printing and promotional purposes. Anvil's commitment to quality and innovation made it a popular choice among consumers seeking reliable and fashionable clothing.

The Piece

The Panda Graphic Tee, made by Anvil in 1989, is a classic example of the company's expertise in creating fashionable and comfortable t-shirts. This particular piece features a unique black and gold colorway and showcases a panda graphic, reflecting the playful and artistic designs that were popular during the late 1980s. Made in the USA, this tee embodies the high standards of American manufacturing and Anvil's dedication to quality. The single-stitched construction further emphasizes its vintage appeal and authenticity.

The Style

Graphic tees surged in popularity during the 1980s, becoming a staple in casual fashion. They were often used to express personal style, affiliations, and interests, making them a versatile and essential part of everyday wear. The 1980s and 1990s saw an explosion of creativity in graphic design, with bold colors and unique illustrations becoming commonplace. This period was marked by a fascination with pop culture, nature, and abstract art, which is evident in the panda graphic of this Anvil tee. Single-stitched tees from this era are highly valued by collectors for their quality and distinct look.

What Makes it Vintage?

• Single-stitched

The “single-stitch” is a quick way to scan an item to see if it’s vintage or not. Almost all T-shirts began to be double-stitched after 1994. If a shirt is single stitched all over (on the cuffs, shoulders, collars, hems) then it’s probably from the 70’s or 80’s. If a shirt is single-stitched on just the cuffs, then it is probably from the 80s and 90s.

• Made in USA

Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!
