Chess King

Super soft t-shirt inspired by Chess King clothing stores. Chess King was a men's clothing retailer founded in 1968 in Dedham, MA with the Dedham Mall as its first location. It aggressively catered to the teen and young adult market with the latest, often flashy, fashion fads of the 1970s and 1980s. The chain was a quintessential mall staple, growing quickly to over 500 locations nationwide. However, due to primarily focusing on fad fashion, the chain began to decline and was sold in 1993. Chess King closed all remaining stores in 1995. 50/50 cotton-poly blend. Made and printed in the USA. Velvety Local Vyntage logo on right sleeve. This t-shirt is tag-less. We're proud to be sharing mall shopping memories with you.
