Don’t Call Him Shirley!

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices.
Item #11: Airplane
Year: 1980
Circulation: Rarer than living members of Striker’s squadron. Don’t believe us? Check eBay.
In honor of the late, great Canadian, Leslie Nielsen I offer this rare promotional gem from Airplane! – the very film that caused his comedic career to take off. Prior to this he was grounded as television journeyman – landing roles in TV movies and on popular shows like The Love Boat and Fantasy Island (where he played a doctor.) The writers/directors of Airplane! loved him so much that in 1982 they built a comedic police TV show around him called Police Squad! It was short lived, but six years later Leslie reprised his role as Det. Frank Drebin in the hugely successful Naked Gun movie, two sequels and dozens of other parodies. RIP Leslie!
Brand: Hanes
Measurements: 17.5″ (pit-to-pit) 25.5″ (rear collar-bottom seam)
Condition: This item is in excellent vintage condition.
Variables: None.
Price: $150.00 (includes expedited shipping w/tracking and insurance in U.S. and Canada)
Amazing Invisible Vintage T-Shirt
November 27, 2010 by Jimmy J · 5 Comments
Wow! Finally another invisible vintage t-shirt is up for grabs on eBay! Smith and Pooter used to carry these but they ran out of stock years back and they haven’t been on eBay since. Not many were made to begin with but the fact that they’re next to impossible to find while picking has added to their scarcity. This particular one is in great condition too, nicely worn with no holes (which show as visible spots of fabric.)
You can always go for a modern day invisible shirt, but we all know they aren’t the same: stiff, awkwardly sized with a bulky double invisible tag. And be weary of the evil-doing bootleggers who have already seen the potential in invisibility and have passed off a few modern day versions as vintage.
So how do you know you’re getting the real deal? In F As In Frank you should trust -Â once you see it, you’ll believe it….err…something like that.
