Genuinely rare find — a vintage Kawasaki Motorcycles promotional ringer tee on a Champion Knitwear Co., Inc. tag, which dates this to the mid-to-late 1960s (Champion didn't rebrand to "Champion Products" until 1967, and Kawasaki's U.S. motorcycle operation itself only launched in 1966 — making this one of the earliest Kawasaki USA promotional shirts you'll find).
Classic ringer tee construction: white body with red contrast collar and sleeve cuffs, bold red/black "KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLES" screen print with the winged pennant flag logo. Screen print sits into the fabric with the soft, worn-in texture of genuine vintage ink — not a modern reproduction.
Tagged X-Large (46–48), 100% cotton. Use measurements for sizing.
Condition: Honest vintage condition — light yellowing/age spotting near the hem (photos included), and a small hole/fray at the shoulder seam (see photo). No holes in the print or body panel itself. A great wearable piece for a collector who doesn't need museum-perfect condition, or a display piece as-is.
Measurements:
• Pit to Pit: 21.5"
• Length: 24.5"
