This sweet shirt promotes the Peps Boys, a celebrated automotive service chain that was started in Philadelphia in the 1920s. This tee features a graphic of the Pep Boys mascots, which are modeled after the company's founders Emanuel "Manny" Rosenfeld, Maurice "Moe" Strauss, and W. Graham "Jack" Jackson. The business began as a small auto parts store called Pep Auto Supply, and it also had another fourth founder, Moe Radavitz, although he cashed out his share before the name was changed to The Pep Boys.

The Pep Boys were one of the few American businesses to flourish during the Great Depression, and they were also able to avoid major lay offs and salary cuts for their employees. Instead they opened their first west coast location, which was managed by Manny's brother, Murray Rosenfeld.

Fits like a modern unisex adult Extra Large. There is some light discoloration and a split seam on the right sleeve when wearing, see pics.
