With some movies you don’t know whether the title song made the movie or the movie made the song. With "Shaft," both are the case. Isaac Hayes symphonic cut definitely propelled this 1971 blaxploitation film to stardom. Hayes did the score for the movie and won both a Grammy and Academy Award for “Theme from Shaft.” However, "Shaft" was groundbreaking for another reason: it pretty much launched the Blaxploitation genre. So important was this film that in 2000 the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress cited "Shaft" for preservation for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant”. In that, we honor this this classic film.

When you talk about films from the Blaxploitation era, Superfly is one of the first films to come to mind. Released in 1972 and directed by famed photographer Gordon Parks Jr., Superfly stars Ron O’Neal as a Priest, a drug dealer who wants to get out of the game. Made for $58,000, Superfly grossed over $4 million at the box office and is considered a cult hit. The socially-conscious soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield generated two top ten hits in “Superfly” and “Freddie’s Dead” which both sold over a million copies.

The t-shirt we use to print the designs is from a company call Next Level Apparel. They make some of the best t-shirts in the apparel biz. Our base t-shirt is their premium tri-blend crew neck t-shirt. This t-shirt is a mashup of 50% polyester, 25% combed ring spun and 25% rayon. That mix makes for three things: an extremely soft t-shirt that drapes nicely with a vintage-type look. So you’re getting a cool looking shirt that feels great. The t-shirt weighs 4.3 ounces. So you’re not wearing a bulletproof vest but a mid-weight garment. And since the fabric is mostly polyester and rayon, there is little, if any, shrinkage. Now the t-shirt does run a little small so if you like a roomer fit, please select the next size above what you normally wear.
Also, we don’t believe in offering you a one-style-fits-all or “unisex” t-shirt (whatever that is). We give the fellas and ladies a t-shirt that’s specifically made for them and their unique features. If a particular style of t-shirt isn’t available for a gender then we’ll let you know and recommend a size in that shirt that may accommodate you.
In the future, we’ll rollout different styles of tees like a scoop neck (for that off-the-shoulder Flashdance look), long sleeve, hoody and ¾ sleeve raglan so you’ll have a variety of options to choose from year round.
We recommend turning your t-shirt inside out when washing. Please machine wash in cold water with like colors. It’s best to hang dry but it’s cool if you tumble dry on low setting. Please do not iron on the decoration.
