1970s Skydiving FAOP Tank Top
In the golden age of daredevil athleticism and analog thrill-seeking, this 1970s skydiving tank top captured the essence of airborne rebellion. The era saw a boom in skydiving culture across America, fueled by military-trained jumpers, countercultural experimentation, and the growing popularity of high-altitude adrenaline. This tank immortalizes that moment — a snapshot of human flight over endless farmland skies.
The entire front is dedicated to a richly faded, full-color photorealistic print of a coordinated freefall group leaping from an aircraft, a rare example of sublimation-style printing in a time dominated by screen-printed basics. The rear is stark and pale, offering a dramatic contrast. The ribbed edges on the neck and armholes retain integrity, while the anonymous black tag — soft and blank — suggests limited-run or custom print distribution, likely produced by a niche outfitter or supplier in the ‘70s.
Small. Measures 17×26
Flaws - Discoloration on back
A rare and evocative collector’s piece that blends Americana, sports history, and graphic experimentation. Ideal for vintage tank top collectors, military or aviation heads, or those who appreciate the surreal imagery of mid-air flight frozen in time.
