James Dean is one of those stars who is beyond iconic. Tragically losing his life at the too-young age of 24 in a car accident in September of 1955, Dean left behind a body of work that has influenced every generation since, thanks largely in part to his role as the ultimate outsider in Rebel Without a Cause — a film that many consider to be the definitive word on the alienation of teenage life.
While Dean is not here physically, he never really left either. Like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe, he is considered a timeless star whose appeal has never dimmed. Because of this, he continues to be the focus of much merchandise that allows his fans of all ages to celebrate his life and classic work. A great example is this T-shirt of James Dean produced by Trevco. Available in M, L, XL, XXL adult sizes, this wonderful black tee features an image of Dean that is the epitome of cool, with a smirk on his face, cigarette dangling from his mouth. You don’t have to be a rebel to appreciate this shirt, just a fan of the enduring Hollywood legend.
