Retro Rags Introduces New T-shirt Line Featuring Chicago's Historic Bars

ROCHESTER, Mich. (June 24, 2006)— Chicago's old bars, clubs and hot spots won't be forgotten. They're now being kept alive in Retro Rags' new T-shirt line.

Erin Norton, founder and head designer of Retro Rags, was inspired by the exciting historical past of Chicago's old nightclubs when creating her T-shirt line.

“These places were once local hangouts where a lot of exciting events took place,” says Norton. “It just seemed right to feature places that have such thrilling and thriving pasts.”

The new T-shirt line features old bars and historic hot spots that were once located in New York, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles. Featured Chicago shirts include Gas Light Corner Bar, Gold Star Sardine Bar, Red Wine Room, Tequila Mockingbird, Blood Bucket and Kerouac Jacks.

Each T-shirt comes with a hang tag that features the story and history behind the bar. T-shirts are 100 percent pima cotton, with a more tailored fit and authentic retro feel featuring worn collars.
