Located in Detroit’s Cass Corridor Neighborhood, The Gold Dollar Show Club first opened in the 1930s as a bar with live entertainment. From the mid ’50s to the late ’80s, it was a popular drag show attraction, but in 1996, new ownership took the space over. Dropping ‘show club’ from the name, and simply operating as The Gold Dollar, the bar began booking bands and quickly became a rite of passage for every aspiring band that came through Detroit. From Dirtbombs and Bantam Rooster to Two Star Tabernacle and The White Stripes, countless acts and legendary shows were hosted at The Gold Dollar, but despite this, the bar closed its doors for good in 2001. The space sat vacant for years until it burned down in 2019.
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white.
There honestly isn’t much to taking care of Direct to Garment (DTG) printed t-shirts, but like any garment, if you want them to last longer than not, there are a few tips.
The first thing people might get wrong is following the instructions on the t-shirt’s care tag. While it may be fine for the blank shirt, you have to keep in mind that the original manufacturer’s care instructions don’t take into consideration the DTG print that goes on top of the garment.
TL;DR: DTG printed apparel should be turned inside-out, machine-washed in cold water, meaning below 90℉ or 30℃, on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent without any fabric softener or bleach. See, easy peazy!
What is considered a mild detergent? A mild detergent is a gentle cleaning solution that contains only surface-active agents. Â All Free Clear and Tide Free & Gentle are common examples of mild detergents. More intense detergents often contain enzymes or abrasives that can damage the print on a t-shirt.
Tumble-drying on hot and ironing can be detrimental to the lifecycle of the print. DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-drying is also an option. If you must iron, make sure you use a cool iron inside-out to avoid damaging the print.
On a related note, we overprint our shirts to get the unique vintage look that we’re known for, and the first wash may show some slight fading, but this is totally normal and part of the process to get the right look!
