The sky over this city is written in notes.

On this vintage music tee, a worn-looking sunset badge holds a line of sheet music above snow-capped peaks, a lake and a small skyline. It is cut as a men's tee from lightweight cotton, for show nights and long drives alike.

The design: sheet music across a striped sunset

Urban Soundscape is a round badge in the style of a 1970s sunset print. A thin double ring in cream draws the circle, and inside it the sky is stacked in horizontal stripes: terracotta at the top, then orange, fading to pale cream at the horizon. A five-line music staff with a treble clef runs across the upper stripes, carrying a row of notes. A few loose notes drift below it, a larger eighth note sits to the right, and three tiny birds fly at the left.

Under that sky stand three mountain peaks in muted sage green, each capped with snow. A band of forest and a turquoise lake lie at their feet, and right at the shore rises a small skyline of tan and brown towers, one topped with a spire and one with a stepped crown. Pine trees line the bottom of the circle and grow taller at both edges, where the ring opens to make room for them.

Below the badge, URBAN is set large and SOUNDSCAPE smaller on a second line, in bold serif capitals of cream-tan with a speckled, worn texture.

It is a picture of how a place sounds as much as how it looks: the hum of downtown, wind in the pines, and a tune that follows you from one to the other. If every view sets a song going in your head, you will know why the notes hang where the clouds would be.

A lightweight vintage music tee with a tag you can tear away

• 100% cotton in a smooth jersey knit
• Lightweight at 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²); the thin knit may show a little see-through in the palest shades or in bright light
• Shrunk in advance, so the tee stays closer to its size once it meets your washing machine
• Seams run down each side, giving the body a shaped line
• A band of fabric is sewn over the neck-and-shoulder seam, so it sits flat against your skin
• Tear-away label, so nothing rubs at the back of your neck once it is off

Who it's for

Playlist builders, buskers, grown-up choir kids, road-trippers who score the drive, and anyone who splits weekends between downtown shows and a trailhead. Wear it to an outdoor concert, a record fair or a slow Saturday in town. As a present it fits a band teacher's last day of term, a send-off for a friend moving to the city, a birthday or Father's Day.

Quick answers

How do I find my size?

Match your chest measurement to the body chest column in the size guide next to the size options. Not every color comes in every size, so pick the color first and the size picker shows what is available.

How does the print work with the shirt color?

The pines, the fine lines in the sky and most of the notes are open areas of the print, so the shirt color shows through the design itself. Each shirt color gives the same sunset badge its own look.

Where is the print, and is there anything on the back?

The badge is large and centered on the chest, with the two words directly under it. The back is left plain.

Is the skyline a real city?

It is an imagined one: a cluster of towers with no landmark to pin it down, so it can stand in for whichever downtown you call home.

How should I wash it?

Use a cold cycle with the tee turned inside out, and finish on low heat in the dryer. Please do not iron over the print or send it to the dry cleaner.
