Shell Mens

Mens Shell Tee: $20

This extremely colorful vestment is based on the cover illustration for House Industries Catalog No. 59. House Industries catalog cover designs are epic design odysseys that often end up having more to do with a whimsical yet mercurial regard for minute illustrative details and ludicrous design concepts than the typographical subject matter contained within. As exciting as we try to make it, typography is not the subject one should bring up when trying to make idle conversation before the start of the monthly PTA meeting. We feel the same way about mailing things to our customers and other unsuspecting recipients. We'd rather pique their curiosity with an illustrative extravaganza to at least give this little part of ground-up forest flora a chance before it goes into the recycling bin. Of course there's always the possibility that the catalog reaches the household design civilian who says something like, "Hey, cool cover, but there are just, like, a bunch of letters and stuff on the inside."

100% cotton, normal USA sizing, not skinny punk rock.

Buy me!
