Description:
Introducing the Railcar Torker Shirt. The Torker is built off our Railcar Eliminator body, with a few added details including reverse western front yokes and a double chest pocket with a single flap design.

We’re launching this design using a special medium to heavier shirting weight 10.25 ounce deadstock fabric we’ve been holding onto for years. This roll of collectable and rare European woven fabric dating from the 1930s–1960s is something we’ve been saving, waiting for the right project.

After measuring the roll, we realized there’s only enough fabric to make five shirts total.

That’s it! Only 5 Torker shirts will ever be made from this fabric.

Delivery:
These shirts are made when ordered and will take 3-4 weeks from order to ship. Orders will be made in the order received. 

Oversell Note:
If for some reason we run out of fabric, the later orders will be canceled and fully refunded. You will be notified as soon as it is known. Orders will be made in the order in received. 

The Fabric:
A collectable and rare 1930s-1960s woven European vintage dead stock fabric. It's 10.25 ounce when new. After a wash and flat dry the fabric noticeably thickens up and feels like a 12 ounce.

Sizing And Shrinkage Info:
After performing an in-house shrink test on this fabric by machine wash cold and hang dry, the results will have some shrinkage. The chest and length will shrink .25 inch laying flat. That equates a half size shrinkage for both body width and length. If you're normal size fitment is loose and not super snug and you have room for a little shrinkage, then size to your normal size. If you feel like your between sizes, you have the option of sizing up. A shrinkage of .25 in width and length is not much. It's just a pinch.

Example: We machine washed and dried a shirt with a 20 inch pit to pit and it came out to 19.75. The length went from 25 to 24.75. See size chart for all sizes. You could change sizes asap after you place the order if needed. So contact us right away. Once its cut into production there's no changing it.
