1970-80s Imported Beer shirts ...anyone seen similar?

Post by Darkstar1661 »

These are all from roughly 1978-1983, years in which my mother worked for a beer importer in Southern California. They were given to her randomly by the company, as well as with many other branded items such as tins, trays, frisbees and such. Im not sure if they were actually for-sale items, promotional or solely made up for employees by the beer companies themselves.

The beers (or cerveza, in this case) in question are all brands from Mexico, but the tees themselves were all made in the US.

(the Tecate tank here sadly has no tag, but it is identical to the Carta Blanca one otherwise)

Oh, and I doubt they have really ever been worn/worn much at all, especially looking at the tags which are all generally in great shape. The distressed look may have been by design or in printing rather than age and use.
