70s Physics Team Coach Vintage T-shirt (unworn)

Can you just imagine the glee in the hearts of the students who presented this gift to their Physics Team coach? 

After months of training and competing and learning formulas together, they came up with a present that he would be sure to love. 

Would he wear it to school? To mow the lawn? To the grocery store? 

Nope. The tags are still attached. He wore it nowhere. 

You can change that! Give this shirt a life. Physics Team Coach 70's vintage t-shirt on Etsy.

- Some Nancy Drew research indicates this shirt is likely to have belonged to Mr. Moore, the science teacher from Zionsville Community High School, Indiana.

What the Flock?

I have started flocking up 100% authentic t-shirts and sweatshirts from the 70's and 80's.

The fuzzy felt iron-on letters are called "flock."

I take real vintage shirts, flaws and all, and iron letters on them.

They are all available in this section of my Etsy shop:  What the Flock

Nobody has to know that they are not straight from a thrift store.

They are quirky and charming and one-of-a-kind. Just like you!

Custom orders are welcome, please contact me to check out availability of blanks.

Behind the T-shirt: A Love Story

Vintage t-shirts are like time capsules. Wearable time capsules. Some are even romantic and chivalrous.

Here's a shirt from the early 80's Logan County High School in Kentucky.

Ralph personalized it with his name in flock ironed on the back.

And he personalized it with his girlfriend's name down the sleeve - "Fayetta."

I googled them and they are married with kids.

Pretty sweet!
