Vintage Chicago Bears Helmet - M
Vintage Chicago Bears Helmet - M
Description
The oversized helmet is what pulled me in first. The longer I looked at the graphic, the more familiar it felt. There’s something about the retro design, from the font they chose to the vertical lines running through the background.
The helmet takes over nearly the entire shirt, drawn in white like a technical sketch against the deep navy body. It feels like sports design from a time when one strong image was enough.

RELIC NOTES
This piece had a life before it got here. The fade, the wear, the softened fabric and the small imperfections are all part of where it’s been. We don’t erase the story. Look through the images. Check the laid-flat measurements. Know the relic before you claim it.
CARE INFO
Some pieces may be missing their original care tags, a trace of their age and a life already lived. When an original care label remains, follow its instructions first. Otherwise, use the guide that best matches the garment.
COTTON + GRAPHIC TEES
Machine wash cold, preferably inside out, using a gentle cycle. Hang to dry to help preserve the fabric, color and graphic. If needed, tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and never iron directly over printed artwork.
POLYESTER + SYNTHETIC FABRICS
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid high heat, which may damage the fabric or graphic. Hang to dry whenever possible. If needed, tumble dry using the lowest heat setting.
HAND-WASH PIECES
Recommended for delicate knits, lace, crochet, lightweight wool and other fragile fabrics when appropriate. Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring, twist or aggressively agitate. Carefully press out excess water using a clean towel. Lay knitwear flat to dry; lightweight woven pieces may be hung to dry.
DRY-CLEAN PIECES
Professional cleaning is recommended for structured or fully lined coats, blazers and suits; delicate wool, velvet, silk or acetate garments; heavily embellished pieces; and fragile vintage clothing. Whenever possible, use a cleaner experienced in handling vintage garments.
LEATHER + SUEDE
Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Leather and suede should be handled by a professional cleaner who specializes in these materials.
