TSPTR continues to reign as kings of the graphic tee with a new collection centred around the 1960s / 70s heyday of the Peanuts comic strip. Schulz’s teenage children found themselves indulging in the latest West Coast trends of the era, from skateboarding and motocross to surfing and live music. This collection celebrates those So Cal people and places.
Los Angeles-born Bud Ekins was a true off-road racing star, America’s top Triumph dealer in the 1960s, stunt rider extraordinaire and best friend of Hollywood legend Steve McQueen. It was Ekins, as McQueen’s stunt double, who performed the dangerous motorcycle jump over barbed wire in the WWII classic ‘The Great Escape’.
He would inspire generations of new motocross riders, including Craig Schulz, the son of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, who, thanks to his son's motocross interest, would create the Snoopy character Joe Motorcross for the strip.
