The images on this shirt were created from vintage New Orleans print-shop graphics. After Hurricane Katrina, many mid-century and pre-1950s presses closed, leaving behind rare design books and illustration archives. Since 2007, we’ve salvaged materials from more than a dozen of these shops and transformed their artwork into archival-inspired holiday designs with a fresh, modern twist.
Lightweight, garment-dyed long sleeve made from soft ring-spun cotton with a relaxed, classic fit. The white long sleeve features a subtle, slightly distressed graphic with pale turquoise text that reads “word to the wise,” and a faint central illustration for a quiet, vintage vibe. Built for everyday wear, the ribbed-knit cuffs hold shape, while neck and shoulder twill tape keep the tee stable through repeated wear. It layers easily under jackets or pairs with jeans and worn-in sneakers for an effortless, lived-in look.
