"STILL FINDING TAPE ON MY SLEEVES." Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

The lettering draws attention first: each word is split onto its own off-white patch, wavy and uneven, as if scraps of tape hold the message together. The heavy dark type is unmistakable, with letters of different heights and widths creating a hand-built look. None of the patch shapes match, and borders around each piece stay thick and dark, giving the phrase a collected, slightly improvisational feel.

Above, a large lavender knitted cap nearly fills the design. Its pointed crown leans rightward, and rows of tiny looped stitches build a dense texture. The cap isn’t flattened; instead, deep dark channels and the placement of the tape strips add dimension. The wide folded edge gently curves, framing a dark oval opening where purple ribs on the inside are clearly visible through the shadow.

Crossing the knit are two strips of torn off-white tape. The top strip is short and nearly level, the other bends diagonally on the right, both with visible rough edges and specks of darkness within. The cap’s surface shifts around the tape, as if the tape is pressed down on real fabric. Around all of this, the background stays plain, letting each detail of the knit and tape show through.

A small detail: the knit rows along the rim’s inner curve change direction slightly at the fold. For anyone who finds tape after every project, or wants a piece that nods to those everyday repairs, this unisex longsleeve brings that memory to the foreground.
