Some ad network has served me some ads for a website that sells Space Age/Atomic themed bowling shirts and button downs. They're expensive, and a cursory google indicates that they're a drop shipping operation, reselling low quality sweatshop clothing. I don't want low quality sweatshop clothing resold at a premium by a dropshipper, but I would wear the hell out of these clothes.Any suggestions as to a reputable place to find goofy atomic age looking shit like this?

@phil That one in particular looks remarkably like something you'd see on Space Patrol or Tom Corbett Space Cadet, and I really love that. I'm sure it'd look goofy as all hell in person, but I'd wear it four or five times a year, you know?

@ajroach42 The software group I'm in had customized shirts made as swag, from Dickies, with 2 pockets (not sure who did the add-on work but can ask). A bit like this: https://www.dickies.com/work-shirts/two-tone-short-sleeve-work-shirt/WS508.html Not vintage yet a touch of retro.

@ajroach42 If you have the budget for custom tailoring @elfkin does it and would probably do whatever pattern you wanted (or you could let him run wild with the theme).

@SRLevine @elfkin Honestly, I have no idea what "the budget" means w/r/t custom tailoring, but I'd love to find out (and to have some clothes that actually fit.)

@ajroach42 I saw one of these sites a couple days ago, found out it was an actual scam that stole images (and your money)

@karaksindru Interesting, but all their product photos are 3D renders and that makes me nervous.

@ajroach42 Totally. I have half a dozen shirts I only wear when hosting, podcasting, trade showing.

@Nonya_Bidniss Yeah! I've seen a couple of those too. I don't think *this one* is the actual scam, I think this one just makes crappy knockoffs, so it's only half a scam, but who knows! The company just sprang up out of nowhere.

@CastellanoED redbubble isn't exactly a solution to the whole sweatshop dropshipping problem. The shirts I'm looking for are "camp" or "cabin" style shirts like bowling shirts and Aloha shirts, not sweats.

@ajroach42 It’s not quite the same thing, but tikilandtrading.com has goofy retro shirt designs focused on Aloha and button-down shirts. I buy from them when they do convention appearances (I like trying on different sizes) but they do mail order too. Occasionally, designs are atomic or nuclear in nature, but often they’re more retro pop-culture or just skewed Hawaii. And yes, they’re not cheap (probably unavoidable for stuff like this, but I’m gonna watch this thread!)

@ajroach42I don't know if it's a perfect match but this looks like something Fort Lonesome might do.https://ftlonesome.com/

@forestine Maybe I'm wrong, I'm basing this off very cursory research.

@ajroach42 Are you in the US? If you do a search on the word "atomic" there are multiple results on this website... I like #spacecat myself https://www.bowlingconcepts.com/mens-atomic-cat-landing-on-moon-shirt
