We start with what's on the record: archive postcards, labels, old ads and the stories people tell about these places. Then we restore the scan or set the lettering fresh so it prints sharp and still looks like itself. Our sources are listed on every place page. Remember a Valley place we should bring back? Send it our way.

Questions, answered

All FAQs
Are you affiliated with these businesses?

No. Nostalgic San Fernando Valley is an independent tribute shop. We research each place from archives, old ads and photos, and restore or redraw the art ourselves. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the businesses, schools or institutions shown.

How do the sizes run?

Our tees fit like a classic unisex tee. Each product page has a size chart with flat measurements; lay a favorite shirt flat and compare. Between sizes? Size up for a relaxed fit. Hats are one size with an adjustable strap.

When will my order arrive?

Everything is made to order. Most orders ship in 2–5 business days, then take 3–4 business days to reach most US addresses. For Christmas delivery, order by early December with standard shipping.

What if something is wrong with my order?

If your item arrives misprinted, damaged or wrong, email us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we will send a replacement or refund at no cost.

Can I return it if it doesn't fit?

Because each piece is printed just for you, we can't take back items for fit or a change of mind. Check the size chart first, and email us if you're unsure; we'll help you pick.
