FAQ

Every design is printed in-house in Ohio on a premium Comfort Colors 1717 heavyweight tee in Ivory. It is made from 6.1 oz. 100% ring-spun cotton, then garment-dyed and washed for a soft, lived-in feel with the substance and durability of a true heavyweight shirt.

Unlike standard graphic tees that use thick, rubbery plastisol inks, our process lets the artwork sink directly into the cotton fibers. There's no stiff, heavy layer on your chest — just a shirt that feels incredibly soft, breathable, and comfortably lived-in right out of the package.

That softly aged character is intentional. We prepare each late 19th- or early 20th-century work to preserve its original patina, then print without a bright white underbase. The ink works with the warm Ivory, garment-dyed fabric to create the muted depth of an antique poster or century-old woodblock print.

To keep the cotton soft and the artwork looking its best, wash your shirt inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Hanging to air dry is best for longevity, but you can also tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.

When the copyright on a historical work expires, it passes into the public domain — no longer owned by any estate or company, but part of a shared cultural heritage. We spend countless hours scouring digital museum archives and historical libraries worldwide to rescue these forgotten masterpieces and give them a new canvas.

Absolutely. We're constantly digging through archives to curate new collections — from French Belle Époque cabaret posters to intricate Japanese Shin-hanga prints, our gallery is always expanding. Join our newsletter to get first access to new historical artwork.

We print exclusively on the Comfort Colors 1717 heavyweight tee in garment-dyed Ivory. The 100% ring-spun cotton has a substantial yet soft, broken-in feel and a relaxed unisex fit. Choose your usual size for the intended relaxed fit, size down for a closer fit, or size up for an oversized look.

These are approximate garment measurements measured flat, not body measurements. Width is measured across the chest about 1 inch below the armholes. Length is measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem.

Garment measurements can vary slightly. For the best comparison, lay a favorite tee flat, measure it the same way, and compare it with the chart above.
