Here's another Katherine and Stu brand T-shirt donated to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge by founders of the label Katherine and Stu. The brand seeks to evoke connotations of the extreme sports windsurfing culture, and does so using bold-coloured, logo-heavy graphic designs on garments that have been treated to appear aged and authentically vintage. Examples of these logos and designs can be found on both the front and back of their garments offering maximum exposure.
This T-shirt emulates windsurfing memorabilia for the seventh annual "Aussie Kiss" tournament, circa 2008. The artwork is marginally broken down to suggest wear, and the right armpit has a hole the size of a coin punctured through the fabric, to create the impression of frequent use during hardcore sessions in the surf. It's details like this that really set the Katherine and Stu brand apart from others imitating undisputed origin. Wearers with even the most fleeting interest in windsurfing can completely embody the culture with designs as well-crafted and considered as this.
The tee retails at around £3.00 and can be found at the bottom of all good Stu's wash baskets.
Thanks again Katherine and Stu for another donation to see me through.
