That Husqvarna shirt was made from an OG screen from the 70's. The building I work in was the birthplace of Dirt Bikes in the late 60s / earyly 70s. There's an old warehouse back there that's like a time capsule. They used to screen print all the shop/team shirts there, and all the 35 year old screens are still back there. A friend of mine restored some of the screens and is making prints from them.
did a custom job for my friend Neal 10 years ago, letters made by hand. I love how the waterbased ink wore out here:
While this one is Plastisol, oilbased ink that will last longer than the textile:
I worked for the company that did these and I got to change the colors, only one copy in existence like this, the rest was letters purple and Christina in black ink on white shirts. Hard to believe I used to be such a skinny motherfucker, I wore my shirts in kid sizes. Haven't worn this in 8 -no, 10 years for obvious reasons:
some merchandise from my old party:
works well for many occasions:
Another custom job I did:
tour shirt 1990, some of the best live shows ever. Only shirt here that I didn't print myself:
THIS HILLBILLY, i think this one i found at second mile in philly in high school:
My Dad took my brother and I to this show with Public Enemy when we were little and this was his shirt:
for white boys the world over who 'play that funky music'...what a bad song!! cute shirt though:
THIS BLOKE:
THESE BROS:
God I really have this particular bunch tucked away, I just do not wear them these days much, not for quite a few years, too trendy and ironic and far from my current steez for sure, but I love them still.
I like that Style Wars & the Tamla. Here are a few shirts I've made for myself & others. Haven't used the press in a while. I need to get back to this. Great thread! FRONT BACK

Front above, back underneath... this is a relly well-made, heavy duty tee, one I've worn the most maybe, legend underneath MAMBO reads "Heir of the Dog", which I take as a euphemism for "Son of a Bitch"
I was given this by friends who work as journalists in Bangkok. They invited my friend Will and me to see Sporty Spice's concert... she was in her lesbo-for-promo-phase, and was most def NOT sporty at the time. She was wearing jeans and ripped tee, looked like Meatloaf, nothing like the shirt given away backstage.
Hand-me-down 'sox tee from my dad... probably my oldest tee I guess.
This last one is same image both sides. Everytime I wear it I get asked about it. Deathbox was the name that Flip Skateboards started out as, they nearly folded, got some backing and relaunched as Flip. Think it was an Oxford-based thing, perhaps connected to Tom Penny (from Oxford too).
THis one's the metal band Ministry, but the artwork is by dude called Pusshead - I believe he did a lot of skateboard art in the '90s.
Did stuff for Metallica too. And the cover of Dr. Octagonecologyst if I'm not mistaken.
Haha, I actually had that shirt. That was my favorite in like 1992 or 93 along with that ugly-ass all-over print Metallica shirt that everyone had after the Black Album came out. The one that referenced all their album covers. I wish I had a picture.

The back of the Black Sunday tee reminds me of the art of H.R. Geiger.
This one really is FUCT. Ooops.

I'd wear this one. Lovely shade of colours.
And I LOVE chocolate.
