This cheeky vintage tee commemorates the Cherry Patch Ranch, a legal brothel in Crystal, Nevada about 80 miles outside of Las Vegas. The front of the shirt features a graphic of a woman's silhouette and the back of the tee reads, "Support Your Local Hooker."

The Cherry Patch Ranch was opened in the late 70s by Nevada business man Maynard "Joe" Richards. At its height under Richard's' ownership, the establishment was employing over 20 women, but the ranch was targeted by Bill Apfel, another local businessman and brothel owner who was out to sabotage the competition. The legend goes that Apfel was particularly close with the Sheriff's Department and had the deputy deliver notice to Richards that he had to shut down his business "at noon" on the specified date. On the day, Richards complied and allowed the deputy to erect a fence around his property. A little past noon, Richards' asked the deputy for the time and, seeing it was no longer "at noon" Richards took down the fence and got everyone back to work. Shortly after, Apfel was murdered in his own brothel which Richards quickly purchased and named The Cherry Patch II.

Richards sold all of his brothels to Dennis Hof, a businessman who already owned some brothels in Nevada. Hof attempted to rebrand the original Cherry Patch including an attempt to establish it as a brothel museum. He died in 2018 in Love Ranch, another one of his brothels only a stones throw away from the Cherry Patch, following his 72nd birthday. His body was found by party goer and former porn star, Ron Jeremy.
