Item Specifics : Brand: Harley-Davidson Museum (The Mark of Quality Archive Series) Size: XXL (Hard to find in this limited run) Era of Graphic: 1910–1912 "Pedestal" Era Material: 100% Premium Heavyweight Cotton (Garment Dyed) Color: Faded Slate / Carbon Gray Construction: Authentic, era-accurate single/double-stitched hems, breathable weave Fit: Slimmer 2XL / slightly oversized XL The Description: A Piece of Motorcycling Genesis The Pedestal Logo: A Rare Look at the Pre-Bar & Shield Era This is not your standard dealership merchandise. This XXL specimen is part of the elite "Mark of Quality" collection, released by the Harley-Davidson Museum (circa 2017-2018). The graphic is a direct archival reproduction of the 1910 Pedestal Logo, a design that represents the architectural stability of the Motor Company during its transition from a backyard shed to an American powerhouse. Influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts movements of the early 20th century, this "T-shaped" pedestal graphic is a "Genesis" era design that predates the universal dominance of the Bar & Shield. (It is also noted to resemble the front view of a motorcycle.) Technical Features for the Serious Collector: The Blank: This was produced on a premium, garment-dyed blank designed to emulate the weight and drape of early 1900s racing jerseys. The Feel: The fabric has been professionally broken in over time, resulting in a "buttery" soft hand-feel that only high-quality vintage-style cotton can achieve. The Fit: Finding "Museum Exclusive" pieces in a true XXL is increasingly difficult, as these limited runs often sell out of larger sizes immediately. The Aesthetic: The faded black/slate-gray color provides the perfect backdrop for the muted orange typography, offering a high-end, "archival" look that fits perfectly with a modern streetwear or vintage collection. Measurements (Flat Lay): Chest (Pit to Pit): Approx. 24.5" Length (Back Collar to Hem): Approx. 28" (See photos for exact dimensions) From my personal collection.
