“Brass Needs Elbow Space” — Unisex Jersey Tank

Regular unisex sleeveless fit; sizes M to 3XL. Cotton jersey; fibre content can vary by colour.

Design story & product details

Engraving-style hatching holds up well as a print, so the fine lines on the copper tubing and the rolled sleeve stay crisp on this jersey tank. Its bare shoulders also suit the joke. A trombone slide swings out into a big U, and Brass Needs Elbow Space sits inside the loop in brick-red blackletter, as if the instrument were claiming its own room.

I’d buy it for the ornate curled B alone. It suits the trombone player who always ends up on the end of the row in marching band.
