Design story & product details

Engraving-style hatching holds up well as a print, so every fine line of this trombone stays sharp on a crewneck tee. The slide swings out in a long copper loop. Inside it, Brass Needs Elbow Space runs in brick-red blackletter, tilted to follow the tubing.

It’s the joke every trombonist has made in a crowded band room, drawn like an old show poster with a big curling B up front. It’s a good fit for the trombone player in a high school marching band.
