Garfield “I’m Not Just Another Pretty Face” 1978 Raglan Nightshirt (Size M)

Description:

An absolute gem from the late ’70s, this 1978 Garfield raglan nightshirt captures the earliest era of Jim Davis’ iconic comic character — complete with the original smug expression and classic thought bubble: “I’m not just another pretty face.”

Crafted in a crisp white with bright orange raglan sleeves, this long-line vintage sleep tee carries the unmistakable charm of late ’70s/early ’80s novelty wear. The print is beautifully preserved for its age, with bold, saturated colours that pop against the cotton body.

Whether you style it oversized as a statement tee, wear it as intended as a nightshirt, or add it to a serious cartoon-collectible wardrobe, this piece is pure nostalgia.

Why It Matters

True 1970s Garfield apparel is getting increasingly rare — especially licensed pieces with large front graphics and early artwork. This nightshirt represents Garfield before the explosion of ’80s mass merchandising, making it a genuine piece of comic-strip history. Collectors value these for their humour, early licensing, and bold graphic style, and they remain timeless crossover pieces between fashion, cartoons, and pop culture memorabilia.

Authenticity:

This piece is 100% authentic vintage, featuring:

  • ©1978 United Feature Syndicate Inc. copyright line
  • Original raglan cut common to ’70s novelty sleepwear
  • Single-stitch hem construction
  • Period-correct graphic print quality

As always, this item comes backed by East Coast Collabs’ experience in sourcing genuine vintage from the ’70s–’90s.

Like our name suggests, we are on the beautiful east coast of Australia. A fashion entrepreneur and keen music enthusiast, I succumbed to the allure of Byron Bay’s laidback lifestyle and relocated to this picturesque coastal region from Melbourne in 2014 for love. My other half, a surfer who has lived in the Rainbow Region since 1990 was an active part of the vibrant music scene for many years.
