Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – The Men's Archival Collection
What is the Men's Archival Collection?
This is a special collection where we take authentic vintage prints from our archives and use them to create new, limited-edition shirts.
What style of shirt is used in this collection?
The shirts are typically our Men's Modern Fit Shirt, which is a contemporary, tailored style that is slimmer through the body and chest.
What fabric are the archival shirts made from?
They are often crafted from 100% Cotton, reflecting the classic materials used for many of our vintage prints.
What is a "reverse print"?
This is a popular Hawaiian style where the fabric is sewn with the inside, more faded-looking side of the print facing out, giving the shirt an authentic, sun-kissed look.
Are these shirts true vintage items?
The prints are vintage, but the shirts themselves are newly made. It's a way to enjoy a piece of our history in a modern, fresh garment.
Is this a limited-edition collection?
Yes, this is a very limited-edition collection. The amount of vintage fabric is finite, so only a small number of shirts can be made from each archival print.
Why is this collection special for collectors?
It's a rare opportunity to own a shirt made from a print that may not have been seen in decades, making it a unique and valuable piece of Jams World history.
How do I care for my archival shirt?
As it's made from 100% Cotton, we recommend a machine wash in cold water to best preserve the vintage print. Tumble dry on low.
Does this collection ever support a charity?
Yes, the Archival Collection is sometimes released in partnership with a charitable organization, like The Hawaii Foodbank. Please check the product description for details.
How does the fit compare to the Retro Shirt?
The Modern Fit used for the Archival Collection is significantly slimmer and more tailored than our classic, loose-fitting Retro Shirt.
