The 8 Hour Union Label draws inspiration from the post-World War II era of mass production, consumption, and domestic economic growth in the United States. The garments from this period have stood the test of time, remaining stylish and functional and highly sought after by vintage collectors. Utilizing our extensive vintage clothing archive and meticulous attention to detail, we capture the essence of this golden age in every piece produced under the 8 Hour Union Label.

The COTTON SERVICEMAN SHIRT / PAWTUCKET, constructed from a Poplin fabric and finished with urea button closed patch pockets to each chest and extensive custom embroidery on the front and back serves as uniform for stewards of Pawtucket Car Wash Station.

In the shadow of the McCoy Baseball Ground, home to the Rhode Island Steelers sits Pawtuckets first Automated Car Wash Station, where you just drive onto the conveyor and leave it to them. You won’t believe that this robo-wash has a full-brush-action that soaps, scrubs, rinses and waxes is less than 3 minutes WITHOUT LABOR! that’s all the time this new example of automation takes. It’s not all honey — they make a charge — but frankly it’s dirt cheap for the price.
