RARE TORSO: R.E.M.’S DEAR READERS T-SHIRT
Note: This was an exclusive preorder. Shirts will be printed and shipped by late summer.
ONLY 250 OF THESE SHIRTS WILL BE PRINTED AT MAXIMUM.
Introducing the newest Rare Torso shirt, available for an absolute maximum of one week before it is gone forever! Rare Torso offers limited-edition T-shirts by contemporary artists, benefiting free programming at youth writing centers nationwide. Each shirt in the Rare Torso series is made in extremely limited quantities, suitable for collecting, and never to be printed again.
Our next Rare Torso shirt (one of two available this week only) comes from trailblazing American rock band R.E.M., and supports the Young Authors Greenhouse, a member of the International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers. The Young Authors Greenhouse serves students ages 6–18 in Louisville, Kentucky. Designed by Michael Stipe and Chris Bilheimer, this striking navy blue tee proudly proclaims your uncertainty to the world (as excerpted from the band’s “Sad Professor”). The ideal fashion statement as we head into the most uncertain of autumns, one thing you CAN know for sure is that it will soon be gone. Order yours now.
R.E.M. were an American alternative rock band from Athens, Georgia. Formed in 1980 the band consisted of drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe.
All Rare Torso shirts are hand-printed by Nifty Sign & Print, an artist-run business in Richmond, CA, on 100% cotton fabric with long-lasting and eco-friendly water-based ink.
