"That Was My Stop" Men’s Oversized Heavyweight Crewneck T-Shirt

Nobody is holding the hanging strap. It dangles from a bent pole with its triangular loop open, and beneath it a reader sits with his back turned, head dropped toward an open book, too far into the page to notice where the train has got to. On this men’s oversized heavyweight crewneck t-shirt the joke is told from behind, so the face is never shown and the missed station is left to the lettering: That Was My Stop.

What the coat carries is the part worth noting. A satchel strap crosses the back with its buckle and slider drawn in, the bag rests against his hip on the seat, and a pale scarf shows at the collar under dark, tousled hair. The overcoat is long and heavy, worked in fine herringbone-like hatching, and it falls past the bench edge toward dark trousers and polished lace-up shoes. The bench has a rounded tubular armrest and a grille panel underneath.

The drawing is done in an engraving manner, black and charcoal line with cream highlights. The three lines of lettering are heavy condensed serifs in cream, speckled with grain and run through with thin cracks, outlined in black with a thick drop shadow falling to the lower right. The middle word is the largest, and the reader’s head and book overlap its strokes. It suits commuters who read, and anyone who has looked up one station too late.
