DETROIT | Retro City Detroiter 313 T-shirt for Men & Women

This design was drawn and screen printed (silk screened) with pride by our skilled illustrators and printers in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you're ever in the area, stop by for a free tour and see how we make your apparel! The tagless tag is printed on the fabric inside the collar, so you can't feel it.

Our shirts are designed with a unisex modern fit - slightly tapered to be a little less boxy than the old style of mass-market t-shirts. There's no drastic change, and most people tend to wear the same size in our shirts as they do in all of their others. However, you might want to go one size larger if you're unsure. Although the shirts are pre-shrunk, like any high-cotton product, they will still shrink slightly in the wash.

The model photos you see are the real thing - the actual shirt on our salesguy, Rich, who is 6' 2" and 200 lbs, wearing a large.

The fabric composition of our shirts is 90% ringspun cotton and 10% polyester, with a 30/1 fine jersey knit. In non-technical terms, this means they are soft and smooth, with a high thread count and a tight knit made from fuzzy plants grown by American farmers. These are mid-weight shirts - a bit lighter than your mass-market, thick gym class t-shirts, but still substantial and not see-through. It's a nice balance between comfort and durability.

We use QCM screen printing inks, manufactured in Pineville, North Carolina. These are high-quality inks - vibrant, durable, and highly crack-resistant. Some of our designs are intentionally faded or cracked (see product photos), but our inks always "do what they are told" by our printers. We use top-of-the-line printing presses and ovens (to cure inks) made by M&R in Illinois.

QCM has been one of the most forward-thinking ink manufacturers in the industry, going phthalate-free over ten years ago - way ahead of the curve. They're also CFC-free and rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California, so you can feel good about the safety of the materials used in your apparel.

The shirts are machine washable, and they were made in the USA and imported. The care instructions are simple - just toss them in the washing machine, and they'll be good as new.

So, if you're looking for a high-quality, American-made t-shirt that's soft, durable, and ethically produced, look no further than our collection. With our skilled artists and printers, top-notch materials, and commitment to safety and sustainability, you can't go wrong.
