The substantial 100% ring-spun cotton fabric has a soft, broken-in feel, while the relaxed unisex cut makes it an easy everyday piece for aviation enthusiasts and lovers of classic heritage design.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe aircraft represented in the artwork is Douglas C-53 Skytrooper serial 41-20095, accepted by the U.S. Army in January 1942. The C-53 was a military transport developed from the Douglas DC-3 and was designed primarily to carry personnel and support wartime transport operations. Serial 41-20095 served during the Second World War and was later rediscovered in Beach City, Ohio, inspiring its modern name, “Beach City Baby.” Vintage Wings Inc. acquired the aircraft in 2017 and has worked to preserve and return it to its historic military configuration.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe name “Beach City Baby” is part of the aircraft’s modern preservation story rather than a documented wartime nickname, making the design a celebration of both its Second World War service and its remarkable survival.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct details\u003cbr\u003e\n100% ring-spun cotton\u003cbr\u003e\nHeavyweight fabric: 6.1 oz\/yd² (206.8 g\/m²)\u003cbr\u003e\nGarment-dyed for a soft, lived-in finish\u003cbr\u003e\nRelaxed unisex fit\u003cbr\u003e\n⅞-inch double-needle topstitched collar\u003cbr\u003e\nTwill-taped neck and shoulders for added durability\u003cbr\u003e\nDouble-needle stitching at the armholes, sleeves, and bottom hem\u003cbr\u003e\nVintage ACE aviation artwork\u003cbr\u003e\nBlank garment sourced from Honduras\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nACE — Aeromia Coffee Emporium\u003cbr\u003e\nHonouring the machines, crews, and stories that shaped aviation history.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"size-guide-title\"\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"table-responsive dynamic\" data-unit-system=\"imperial\"\u003e\u003ctable cellpadding=\"5\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLENGTH (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSLEEVE CENTER BACK (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 ¼\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 ⅝\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 ¼\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 ¼\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 ¾\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 ⅜\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 ¾\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 ½\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2XL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 ⅝\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 ¾\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3XL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 ¾\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 ½\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 ¼\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4XL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 ¾\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 ½\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 ⅝\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aeromia Coffee Emporium","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":67120212279341,"sku":"7245165_15114","price":750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":67120212312109,"sku":"7245165_15115","price":750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":67120212344877,"sku":"7245165_15116","price":750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":67120212377645,"sku":"7245165_15117","price":750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":67120212410413,"sku":"7245165_15118","price":775.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":67120212443181,"sku":"7245165_16326","price":800.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":67120212475949,"sku":"7245165_17500","price":800.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/4939\/2429\/files\/ACE_T_SHIRT_PIN-UP_0014.4.png?v=1785011357","url":"https:\/\/aceaeromia.myshopify.com\/products\/ace-beach-city-baby-heavyweight-t-shirt","provider":"Aeromia Coffee Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
