The Manufacturer

Fruit of the Loom is an American apparel manufacturer founded in 1851. Known for its high-quality textiles, the company originally focused on producing fine cotton fabrics and eventually expanded into producing t-shirts and other garments. By the 1990s, Fruit of the Loom was renowned for its durable and comfortable t-shirts, including the Beefy-T line, which was popular for its heavy cotton and single-stitch construction.

The Piece

The 1993 125th Anniversary Tabasco Graphic Tee was created to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Tabasco sauce. The shirt features a green and red graphic celebrating the milestone, with "Made in USA" and "Single Stitched" tags indicating its vintage nature. This tee reflects a trend in the 1990s where companies used promotional apparel to mark significant anniversaries and enhance brand recognition.

The Style

Graphic tees gained prominence in the 1980s and 1990s as a way for brands to promote themselves through casual wear. The style became particularly popular for its bold and colorful designs, often used for marketing events or anniversaries. Single-stitch t-shirts, like this one, were characteristic of earlier vintage tees and are now sought after by collectors for their durability and unique construction.

What Makes it Vintage?

• 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!

• 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.

Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
