Here that warning curls through the loop of an engraved copper trombone in red blackletter, so the joke reads like a sign for a vintage brass band.

“Brass Needs Elbow Space” — Unisex Oversized Heavyweight Crewneck T-Shirt

Boxy oversized fit with dropped shoulders and a wide chest; sizes M to XL. 100% cotton heavyweight jersey, 9.1 oz/yd² (310 g/m²).

Design story & product details

The fine engraving lines hold up in the print, so the copper slide of this trombone still reads as hatched, polished metal on the Men’s Oversized Heavyweight Crewneck T-Shirt. Two hands push the slide out toward a long U-bend.

It’s a good gift for the trombone player in a high school marching band who has bumped a neighbor’s stand more than once.
