Atlantic City T-shirt

Editors Notes

Blue short-sleeve crewneck t-shirt with allover textured/waffle knit, front "ATLANTIC CITY" and "NEW JERSEY" print with three boats motif, noticeable vertical fade/bleach mark on front, solid back, ribbed neckline, tag from Artistic Embroidery and Screen Printing, Inc., likely cotton or cotton blend.

Souvenir tees like this Atlantic City piece became especially popular from the 1970s onward as affordable mementos of beach towns and tourist destinations. This one is a bit different because it uses a textured, almost waffle-knit fabric rather than the usual smooth jersey, giving it a sportier, more substantial hand. Artistic Embroidery and Screen Printing, Inc. represents the kind of regional printer that supplied local shops and boardwalk stands with custom designs for vacationers. Today, worn and lightly faded tourist graphics are prized in vintage fashion for their authenticity and nostalgic charm. The boat motif and coastal city name also tap into the current trend for resort and seaside-inspired styling, making it easy to pair with cutoffs, denim or casual trousers.
