Digital Equipment Corporation 1957 Vintage Men's Hoodie

Design Description Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) was founded in 1957 by Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson in Maynard, Massachusetts. Known simply as Digital, the company became a dominant force in computing from the 1960s through the 1990s. While it developed a wide range of products, DEC is best remembered for pioneering the minicomputer market in the mid-1960s. Its PDP series—especially the PDP-8 and PDP-11—rank among the most successful minicomputers ever built. That success was eventually eclipsed by the VAX “superminicomputers” introduced in the late 1970s, which were designed to succeed the PDP-11. Although competition intensified over time, the VAX line firmly established DEC as a leading name in the industry. Product Details Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature 'relic-ing' process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on super soft Gildan 18500 hoodies via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can't be accomplished with other printing methods. With a large front pouch pocket and drawstrings in a matching color, this hoodie is soft, stylish, and a perfect mid-weight for laying in cooler weather or keeping the chill off during summer nights at the beach. 50% preshrunk cotton, 50% polyester* Fabric weight: 8.0 oz/yd² (271.25 g/m²) Double-lined hood with matching draw cord Quarter-turned to avoid crease down the middle Air-jet spun yarn with a soft feel and reduced pilling 1×1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex Double-needle stitched collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs, and hem Front pouch pocket *Heather colors are 60/40 polyester/cotton. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of shirts offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible. Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our hoodies are made using premium, preshrunk cotton/poly blends, there can be some slight shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you're on the fence or just want to be able to layer over various shirts, we always suggest going up a size as hoodies are meant to be a little on the big side 😎 All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
