1940's WWII U.S. Army Air Force T-Shirt

Here's another off the charts eBay auction! The seller of this Randolph Field Texas was able to fetch a whopping $407 for this baby! Not my size and definitely out of the price range, this would make a nice design to repro.

ridiculous price !! for such an easy and common design .there's a guy on ebay who does very descent copies on nice shirts for $16.......or if you feel in a crafty mood ,just scan this pictures ,print it on thick paper ,do a stencil .choose a beaten up shirt,some acrylic water soluble paint et voila.....

Exactly! I've bought a few off the seller on eBay. Did a boiling soak with tea to make them look a little worn and old.

What would you have to do to cure the paint with a stencil? Anything or just let it dry off?

Agree this is such a great design and so simple to re-build.

Tea dying, is the way to go... What blend do you like to use?
Spray paint is also very simple to do with the stencil and a fresh white tee. You can get some very interesting effects by playing around with wet/dry before you apply the paint as well.

Cheers.
