The twenty-second T-shirt of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge is a donation from Jenna all the way over in Brooklyn, New York. She represents a retailer with a very unique and niche selling point - Out Of Print transplant the illustrations from classic book covers straight onto T-shirts, tote bags and a handful of other products that you can purchase from their website. The stunning final result is a vintage looking graphic with title, straplines and author credits intact, spanning the full canvas of the T-shirt front - celebrating the world's great stories through fashion.
Tales of the Jazz Age published in 1922, so the folk at Wikipedia inform me, is a collection of short stories of various substance, mainly concerned with the subject of wealth and its effect on society.
To push the context of the garment further, the tag that came fixed to it is designed to look like a library card – a very clever touch indeed.
I have opted to keep this tag attached, so that I can more convincingly attend a fancy dress party as a library book. However, due to the limits set by my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge, I will need to find said fancy dress party this evening…
