The Manufacturer

Shorty's BBQ was founded in 1951 by E. L. "Shorty" Allen in Miami, Florida. Known for its traditional barbecue recipes and family-friendly atmosphere, Shorty's quickly became a beloved local institution. The original location on US 1 in South Miami has been a landmark, though it was sold to developers in 2022. Shorty's BBQ has several locations, including one in Davie, Florida, continuing to serve its famous barbecue to loyal customers.

The Piece

The Shorty's BBQ Miami Davie Florida Tee represents a piece of memorabilia from the iconic barbecue chain. This specific tee, featuring a white, pink, and blue colorway and single-stitched design, likely commemorates the Davie location or the overall brand. It serves as a nostalgic item for patrons who have enjoyed the classic barbecue experience at Shorty's.

The Style

Graphic tees like this one have been a staple in casual fashion since the 1960s, often used to promote brands, events, and locations. The single-stitching detail suggests a vintage piece, as single-stitching was common in t-shirts manufactured before the 1990s. The use of bright colors like pink and blue reflects a playful and vibrant design, aligning with the casual and welcoming atmosphere of Shorty's BBQ.

The Features

• Design: Features branding and possibly imagery related to Shorty's BBQ.
• Colorway: White base with pink and blue accents, offering a visually appealing and vibrant look.
• Material: Typically made from comfortable cotton, ideal for casual wear.
• Stitching: Single-stitched seams, indicating a vintage style.
• Tag: No tag, which may suggest either a custom piece or a removed tag for comfort.

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.

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