The Piece
The Tinlandia Ecuador Toucan Graphic Tee is a vintage t-shirt featuring a toucan graphic and is made by Fruit of the Loom. This specific tee, characterized by its single-stitch construction, reflects the era's style and craftsmanship. The shirt's "Made in USA" label indicates it was produced domestically, emphasizing the quality and authenticity of American-made apparel during that period.
The Style
Graphic tees with tropical or exotic motifs, such as toucans, became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. This trend was part of a broader movement where graphic t-shirts were used to showcase vibrant designs, often related to travel or nature. The white and black colorway and toucan design align with the period's casual, playful aesthetic, making it a nostalgic piece for collectors of vintage apparel.

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.
