"Read In Peace" a vintage tombstone-and-open-book illustration with gothic hand-lettered script, screen-printed in ivory ink on a true black tee from our bestselling Comfort Colors 1717 blank. This boutique tee was born from late nights in our Houston print shop, where every screen is hand-pulled with the kind of care that turns a basic blank into the one she keeps reaching for in the closet.
Designed for Independent bookstores, bookish subscription boxes, gothic and dark-academia retailers, and Southern boutiques stocking the booktok and library-girl audience with an edge. The ivory ink on the true black base photographs beautifully for IG flat lays and reorders quickly thanks to a clean screen print on our heavyweight Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed blank. Wholesale-ready, screen-printed in Texas, and sized generously for the relaxed boutique fit your customers ask for by name.
Pairs with black biker shorts, slip skirts, baggy jeans, and the cardigan she stole from her partner. Stocked deep on the same garment-dyed heavyweight blank that boutique buyers from Austin to Atlanta have made the standard for screen-printed apparel: soft enough to live in, structured enough to sell at premium boutique price points.
