Vintage 1970s Dragon Camp Ringer T Shirt – Fort Henry NY

Vintage 1970s Dragon Camp Ringer T Shirt – Fort Henry NY – Paper Thin Thrashed Single Stitch Tee

This feels like it lived at the bottom of a camp duffel bag all summer long, pulled on after swimming, worn by the fire at night, and washed over and over until it became impossibly soft.

A true 1970s ringer T shirt with sea green collar and sleeve cuffs and an amazing dragon graphic from Fort Henry, New York, home of the camp. The artwork has that classic storybook 70s charm, bold, playful, and full of personality. It feels like something straight out of a lakeside summer in another era.

The fabric is beautifully worn down to that dreamy paper thin softness vintage lovers search for. Light, drapey, and perfectly broken in, this tee carries decades of real life in every thread. This piece comes from a personal collection and it shows in the character, the wear, and the story it carries.

Single stitch construction and the original Hanes poly cotton tag help date this to the 1970s, back when camp shirts were made to be lived in.
