"Quad Skates and Red Scarf" Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt

Everything is drawn like an old engraving: dark navy outlines, then a fine grain of stipple for the shading, which leaves the four cream roller skates looking a little scuffed at the toe and heel. On this heavyweight crewneck T-shirt two skaters are cropped above the knee, so the whole scene is told through legs and feet. Their navy trousers cross mid-stride, with paler blue-violet catching the folds, and a long red knitted scarf sweeps diagonally over both of them, twisting once before its tasselled fringe hangs loose at either end.

The two are not dressed alike. One wears plain hems that fall over the boot, while the other has rolled wide cream turn-ups that show ribbed socks and a dotted seam running down the leg. The skates themselves are high-top quads with criss-crossed laces tied in loose bows, tiny stitch lines along the leather, black soles and red wheels with dark hubs. Red toe stops jut from the two front boots, the same red as the scarf, and that single colour ties the pair together across navy and cream. It suits anyone who spent weekends at a rink, and it makes an easy gift for a skating partner.
