"Those Are My Good Rocks" Men’s Oversized Heavyweight Crewneck T-Shirt

A brass piano hinge runs down the seam of a pale, pitted stone, six small knuckles of it, bending at the bottom where the rock tapers to a lip. That hinge is the joke. The stone has been opened like a case, and four thick slices fan out to the right, each cut face showing wavy strata in charcoal, mid-grey, cream and tan, with chipped, uneven top edges. On this men’s oversized heavyweight crewneck t-shirt the drawing reads as a collector’s best specimens, kept filed and ready to show.

The lettering is treated as the same material. Those Are My comes first in heavy cream stencil capitals, thin vertical breaks cutting through each stroke, with a black extrusion dropping down and to the left. Good Rocks. follows much larger, in fat rounded letters packed so tightly that the counters of the two Os become plain black dots, and the full stop at the end is a solid disc of its own. Small pits and hairline cracks speckle those letters like poured concrete, so the words look quarried from the stone they are bragging about. The palette holds to cream, greys and black, with the brass as the single warm note. It suits rockhounds, geology students and anyone who comes home from a beach walk with full pockets.
