This amazing double-sided tee is a classic 70s creation from the surf apparel brand Hang Ten. This shirt is decked out with colorful cartoon graphics that celebrate the 70s custom van craze. The popularity of vans first began in the 60s, and it was boosted considerably by the counterculture movement of the decade. As the youth of America began taking an interest in things like surfing, protests, and outdoor music festivals, they needed a way to get to and from theses activities, and vans were a cheap and easy option for transporting you and all your friends.

In the 70s, larger vans and more customization options became available. People leaped at these new opportunities for self-expression, and vanning began to develop its own culture and community. One of the best examples of the impact the custom van craze had, was the development of the National Truck-In in 1973. While van runs and other events had been growing steadily more popular, this was the first gathering designed specifically to bring together vanners from all over the country.

Fits like a modern unisex adult medium. This shirt is soft, thin, and distressed with some fading and holes, see pics.
