NEW (all shirts/hoodies available in small, medium, large, xlarge):

240 blue
BLANCHARD RECORD BAG
blue on blue tote
$10

Tote bag/tshirt design by Jake Blanchard to coincide with our Risil release which he also did the cover art for. You can fit 10-20 records into this heavy duty bag.

240 blue
IMPREC240 Blue
Blue print on navy shirt
$10

IMPREC240 isn't a record it's an homage to the classic car of the same numeration. The Important parking lot is littered with 240 wagons on a regular basis. Volvo manufactured the 240 between 1974 and 1993 and Jan Wilsgaard's design is absolutely stunning. My favorite viewing angle is from the back of a pre-1981 245 as illustrated for our shirt by Rutger Zuyderfelt.
Hand printed on Anvil's version of the American Apparel tee. Super high quality and a nice fit.

ELEH
