This shirt features a small graphic that reads, "S.J.S. Staff." The shirt is likely from a local order school. The abbreviation SJS is commonly used by Catholic preparatory schools that are named after saints like St. Joseph or St. Jerome. This vintage tee dates all the way back to the 1950s before printed t-shirts became a common wardrobe staple. Movie stars like Marlon Brando and James Dean popularized the t-shirt in movies like A Streetcar Name Desire and Rebel Without a Cause, the style became a political statement and a sign of rebellion against "proper" society. Printed tees wouldn't become popular until the 60s with the birth of modern screen printing.
Comments: Fits like a modern unisex adult large. Distressed with several holes throughout, see pics.
