The Manufacturer

Hanes, a well-known American brand, has been a leader in the apparel industry since its founding in 1901. The company specializes in producing comfortable, durable, and affordable clothing. The Hanes Beefy-T, introduced in 1975, quickly became popular for its heavyweight fabric and durability, making it a staple for custom t-shirts and graphic tees. The "Beefy-T" is celebrated for its quality construction and is often used for commemorative and cultural pieces.

The Piece

The graphic tee commemorating the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy from 1893-1993 is a historical piece that marks the centennial of this significant event. The overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 led to the end of the Hawaiian Kingdom and its eventual annexation by the United States. The tee likely serves as a way to remember and educate others about this pivotal moment in Hawaiian history.

The Style

The t-shirt style, particularly in the 1990s, was a popular medium for expressing cultural, political, and historical messages. The pink and purple colorway used in this piece reflects the era's bold and vibrant color trends, which were commonly seen in fashion during the late 80s and early 90s. The use of graphic tees to commemorate significant historical events became increasingly popular during this time.

The Features

The tee features a pink and purple colorway, with a central graphic highlighting the years 1893-1993, marking the 100-year anniversary of the Hawaiian monarchy's overthrow. It is made from Hanes' Beefy-T material, known for its thick, comfortable fabric that provides durability and a soft feel. The graphic design likely includes elements related to Hawaiian culture and history, making it not just a piece of clothing, but a statement of remembrance.

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.
