There is a moment, about four minutes in, where you stop deciding whether you like it. The needle is down, the sleeve is on the arm of the chair, and the next forty minutes have already been agreed to. This vinyl record shirt is for the part of you that keeps that agreement: SIDE A — ALL THE WAY THROUGH — NO SKIPPING. Not a rule anyone imposed. Just the one you keep.
The art is typeset the way a 1970s sleeve credit block was: a heavy condensed slab header in bone cream, a grooved platter and tonearm beneath it, and a sunburst of amber and burnt-rust rays opening out behind. Every mark is original — no band, no label, no borrowed cover art, and a centre label deliberately left blank.
Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex tee: soft, true to size, broken in from the first wear. Direct-to-garment printed in three flat retro inks, so the design sits in the fabric rather than on top of it. Offered in thirteen dark shades — black, emerald, navy, forest, oxblood, maroon, olive and more — every one chosen because cream, amber and rust read warm against it.
It also solves the one real problem with buying for a record collector: this cannot be a duplicate.
Made to order and printed in about 3–7 business days before it ships. Wash cold, tumble dry low, and skip ironing directly on the print.
Side one, start to finish. That was always the deal.
