I recently stumbled upon the BVR Design
Instagram feed that features remarkable aviation t-shirts. Being a
vintage aircraft nut myself, I was instantly fascinated by the unique design
and layout of the shirts. After exchanging a few notes with the designer,
Dylan, I inquired about what was on the drawing board next. A few mutually
appreciated types were mentioned but when one of my favorites was in the queue
I had to speak up! Within a few days the Lockheed 12 t-shirt was released.
As a
deep-rooted, die-hard, Lockheed fan I often cruise the internet in search of
“new” modern aviation t-shirt styles that also have an authentic vintage look,
but am rarely able to find anything worth purchasing. So when I laid eyes on
this Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior shirt from BVR,
I knew this one would be worth it. Not only was the Lockheed
rendering true to detail, but the addition of the designation and first
flight dates anchoring either side of the aircraft were spot-on. The
added touch of the classic Lockheed lightning bolt gave the final design punch
to secure the deal. I had to have one!
Once it
arrived, I was able to actually take a closer look at the artwork. It was
an incredibly accurate representation of this classic airplane. The shirt
is excellent quality and is comfortable. The fit is true to size so I recommend
adding one of BVRs designs to your collection.
Further
designs to come off the BVR drawing board that have me excited would be the
ones in the Air Racing series. The powerful Gee Bee Z, the sleek Crosby CR-4,
the timeless Travel Air Mystery Ship and the racy DH.88 Comet. I have just
purchased 4 more shirts to add to my collection and am on the edge of my
seat waiting for the next design release.
The
eye-catching selection covers a broad aviation audience, so when shopping for
yourself it will be hard to choose which one to buy first! The selections are
also perfect for gift giving. Click through to BVR for some beautiful
bespoke aviation t-shirts.
