A small post today featuring a couple of Vietnam era USMC training shirts .these were found at an estate sale and belonged to the same Marine .one was obviously more "loved" than the other .Gotta love the distressed EGA on both .....
Both shirts are from the same company ,the now defunct :ARTEX .the brand was a subsidiary of Jostens Inc.a Minnesota based company, best known as a manufacturer of high-quality military and class rings for high school and college students. For more than four decades, the company also has produced specially commissioned rings for contestants in the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Championship, and the NHL Stanley Cup.ARTEX was the branch, specialised in custom-printed athletic and casual wear.the Artex label survived within the Jostens Sportswear division up until 1994 ,when it was sold to FOL, fruit of the loom,who closed the facilities and the company the same year.......
BTW ,ARTEX did a very collectable series for the Muppets in the 80's,i'd like to get my hands on the Gonzo shirt .
