VTG 70s Roach 76 By Appointment Only Iron On T Shirt Large Flocked Velvet Text For Sale

Item Description

**True Vintage 1976 Roach Studios "By Appointment Only" Iron-On T-Shirt**

Up for sale is an incredibly rare piece of 1970s counterculture fashion with a fascinating history. This vintage green t-shirt features an original 1976 Roach Studios heat transfer graphic designed to look like a glowing neon "By Appointment Only" sign. The transfer is explicitly marked with the authentic "© ROACH 76" copyright text at the base of the graphic.

**The Aviation History Connection:**

The alphanumeric text printed vertically down the shirt, **N73450**, is a direct nod to an actual aircraft—it is the official FAA registration tail number for a **1976 Cessna 172M Skyhawk airplane**! Roach Studios cleverly incorporated this real-world newly-built plane code right into their 1976 catalog artwork.

Adding to its premium vintage value, that vertical Cessna tail number features a true 1970s **raised, fuzzy flocking (velvet/felt texture)** print rather than standard flat ink. Perfect for serious collectors of authentic 70s apparel, single-stitch enthusiasts, or aviation history buff collections.

### ⚠️ IMPORTANT SIZING NOTE ⚠️

While the original neck tag reads "Large", **this shirt fits drastically smaller than a modern Large.** It features a very narrow, elongated 1970s fit due to age, styling, and vintage shrinkage. It fits closer to a modern **Men's Extra Small (XS)** or a slim Youth size. Please review the exact flat-laid measurements below before purchasing.
