One Weekend in Dallas
Event shirts are the diaries of American popular culture, and this one dates itself to the day: three days in March 1974 at Fair Park. A stippled pin-up in blue on the chest and a red kiss on the back give it the knowing humour of the decade.
Best for: Collectors of dated 1970s event tees and single-stitch Hanes blanks
Condition notes
Some colour transfer from the ink on the front, shown in the close photographs. Light signs of use; a sound shirt for a wearer used to vintage cotton.

A Hanes T-shirt printed for The Singles Thing, held on 29, 30 and 31 March 1974 in the Automobile Building at Fair Park, Dallas: a blue pin-up on the chest, a red kiss on the back, tagged Small (34-36).
This piece belongs to the private room of the house and is shown to adults only.
The Piece
The front is printed in a single royal blue. The words The Singles Thing arch in a swashed seventies script over a kneeling pin-up model, arms raised behind her head and bare to the waist, drawn in a fine stipple that reads like a halftone photograph. Beneath her, bold capitals record the date and the place, the Art Deco exhibition grounds of Fair Park.
On the back, high on one shoulder blade, sits a single pair of red lips. The ink has soaked into the cotton rather than resting on top of it, the soft hand that collectors of early seventies tees prize, and the sleeves and hem are finished with one line of stitching. A small, specific survivor of one weekend in Texas, with its wit intact.
