TRIUMPH Jomo Bud Flocked T-Shirt-l

Bud Ekins needs no introduction to the faithful. His legend is burnt deep into the history of motorcycling. During the 1950s Bud would take Triumph on its most winning streak. His desert racing mastery culminating in the 1954, 1957 and the 1959 Big Bear races, were victories that would earn him the name the Desert Fox. The 1955 Catalina Grand Prix class ‘C’ and five ISDT solo gold medals would also fall to Bud whilst riding Triumph motorcycles. Countless wins in hare and hound desert races every weekend made for great dealer press. “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.”

The Triumph Johnson Motors Bud Ekins Flocked T-shirt promotes Bud's Sherman Oaks dealership that he ran from 1953 up until 1965. The Triumph logo in this graphic is a hand drawn version, originally done by the famous painter and pin striper Von Dutch, who was a close friend of Bud. The 100% cotton t-shirt is made in the USA.

On Johnson Motors’ 75th anniversary year Triumph and Johnson Motors have joined again to collaborate on a clothing experience with the release of three tee shirts of an archive collection, that have been pulled from the extensive Johnson Motors memorabilia and motorcycle collection. All three tees will come in an oversized replica of the cycle bath tin can originally distributed by Johnson Motors in the 1950s that was available at your local Triumph dealer. It contained a degreasing agent for cleaning your Triumph motorcycle with a vintage graphic on the front of the tin can that has been faithfully reproduced on Johnson Motor's premium 100% cotton tee shirt made in California from ringspun slub yarn knitted in downtown Los Angeles. It has the look and feel like that of your favorite vintage tee.
