Buying for someone who has every tool?

Three short guides to the designs they will recognise, grouped by the person you are buying for.

Two materials, one idea

Steel is exact and unforgiving. Wood moves, splits and shows its age. Good design needs both, and so does a shirt you actually keep wearing.

Every graphic starts as a drawing rather than a template, and gets tested at print size before it goes near the shop. If a design does not hold up on a garment we would wear for years, it does not get listed.
