Let customers speak for us
Thank you so much for the quick delivery. Sadly my husband got called out of town for business. I will have to wait till the weekend to give this to him🫤 I am so excited to gift this to him! I know he will love it!!!! Update: Husband LOVES his shirt
Temporary hearing aide while waiting for my VA Audiology appointment! Works like a charm & gets many hand shakes & laughs. Great quality & fits like a glove. Thanks Frank! Next to my Vietnam Vet cap, I now have a favorite!
This is a nice hat. Quality is real good, very adjustable and the cup part of the hat is deep enough to fit my head but not huge like a trucker hat. And the saying fits me perfectly.
I purchased the cap for a friend of 56 who has severe hearing loss. He has no hearing in one ear & very little in his good ear. He has lost his hearing at a young age due to several surgeries to fix a cleft palate. The doctors told him if he had more surgery, he would be totally deaf. He tells people to speak loud or speak in his good ear. He says he gets frustrated when even that doesn’t work, so he just nods his head like he hears. It’s kinda sad for him, so hoping the cap message will help. Haha
Love it
This was a wonderful gift for my husband. We received it in a week. We have had a lot of compliments.
I ordered this hat as well as another hat that matches a T shirt for my husband’s birthday this month. He loves all of them! The quality of the material on all are high quality as is the artwork! Thank you for a quality USA product!
I ordered this shirt and two hats for my husband’s birthday this month. He loves all of them! The quality of the material on all are high quality as is the artwork! Thank you for a quality USA product!
My name is Daniel O'Dell
I am 62 yrs old and born and raised in Kansas City Mo
This is the story that inspired me to buy the Raised on Vinyl and V8"s shirt.
As a young boy growing up in the 60's my parents had a lot of Vinyl records of country music.
It was around 1973 when my older brother introduced me to rock and roll.
He had every vinyl records of Rush, Styx, Kansas, Peter Frampton, Kiss and on and on and on.
This it where the V8's come into the story.
My dad had a 1968 Chevy SS El Camino that was pretty fast and I love the speed that car put out.
My moms brothers all had fast cars.
In the late 70"s to early 80's when I was in High School there were cars from 50's to early 70"s being drove to school.
I remember on the weekend we would pick a spot and would meet other schools to see who had the fastest car.
I always remember it was usually the Big Block Chevy that would dominate the street.
So when I saw this shirt that was for sale I knew it was the right one for me.
So this is my story and why I had to have this shirt.
I will wear it proudly and thank you so much for coming up with it.
Thanks again
Purchased this shirt as a gift to a friend who worked as a repair technician on all of those technologies. He loved it and reports the shirt is high quality
I ordered a hat from this OLDmanism as a birthday gift to a buddy and had it shipped directly to his house. Unfortunately he never received it. When I reached out to the company for more information that may help us locate the package, Frank immediately responded with the information requested and continued to stay in touch while USPS tried to figure out who stole the package. Unfortunately they were not able to track it down and when I let Frank know, he immediately shipped a new hat to my buddy which he received and loved a week later. This kind of customer service is very rare these days especially with mail order companies..I strongly recommend purchasing from OLDmanism.
Bought for a birthday gift. Great quality. Fits nicely. He loves it.
Great
fast easy shopping great hat
Between both of us we have six replacement joints, four knees, two hips...with a set of dentures thrown in for good measure.
Yesterday we wore the hats to a two week checkup with the surgeon for the latest new knee and it was a big hit in the office.
Thanks for creating such a cool hat...and it's also very comfortable too.
Not every rough start turns out bad. Sometimes it just leaves you with better stories, louder memories, and a healthy respect for real horsepower.
This shirt is for the kind of man who came up around engines, back roads, and decisions that made sense in the moment. The line works because it does not sound ashamed of any of it. It sounds like the sort of history a man would laugh about now, but never trade away.
Solid cotton that feels right: Made from 100% US-grown cotton with a medium 5.3 oz weight, this tee has the kind of substance that suits the message. Not flimsy, not precious, just built for regular wear and a life that was never handled too carefully.
A front print that still does its job: The smooth fabric gives the design a clean, readable finish so the line lands fast and stays clear. That matters with a shirt like this, because half the point is not having to explain yourself twice.
Easy fit for everyday mileage: The classic relaxed fit and crew neck make this an easy one to throw on for drives, garage time, weekend errands, or standing around talking cars longer than planned. It wears like a shirt meant to be used, not saved.
Made to hold up: Tubular knit construction cuts out side seams, and shoulder tape helps the shape stay steady over time. That fits a shirt built around the idea that a little wear and tear is not always a flaw.
Comfort without fuss: The ribbed collar keeps its shape and the overall feel stays easy through long days and repeat washes. It suits the kind of man who would rather wear something dependable than think too hard about it.
Printed and shipped from the USA: Each shirt is made with dependable materials and fulfilled close to home. Straightforward quality, handled with care.
A gift that will make immediate sense to the right man: A strong pick for dads, husbands, brothers, grandpas, and old-school car guys who still trust a V8 more than most modern advice. Good for birthdays, Father’s Day, retirement, or just because it fits him a little too well.
Some shirts explain a man. This one saves time.
