Thomas’ restaurant chain was part of the Downtown Los Angeles scene during the early to mid-1900s. If you worked downtown during the 1930s or 40s, chances are you would have hit up one of their four convenient locations for lunch! Two of their four locations were in exceptional spots including 351 South Hill Street (right next to the L.A. landmark of the Angels Flight funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district) and 201-3 North Broadway which was literally across the street from the front of L.A. City Hall!  It’s unknown when the Thomas’ chain actually closed, and I’ve been unable to find any other associated materials other than the matchbook that proved it existed! But credit where credit is due, proprietor R. Melvin Thomas produced a beautiful, stylish and super fun matchbook that we are very excited to share!

This classic unisex short sleeve tee is meant to feel like a well-worn favorite right out of the gate! Our tees are made of soft cotton and are known for their great fit and strong durability. Besides the beauty & vibrancy of the design and printing, you’ll also love the quality and feel of the shirt itself!

  • Super soft cotton & supreme comfort
  • Versatile unisex style
  • Durable, long-lasting tee construction
  • Vibrant printing & colors
  • Ethical & sustainable manufacturing process

    My mom was so shocked to receive this tee as a gift. She worked there once upon a time and was so surprised to see this shirt! She loves it, but not only is the design very nostalgic for her, but it is soft, comfy fabric, too. Thank you!
