The shop is open. T-shirts, hats, all at /merch.
That's the news. The longer version is that we'd been talking about making these for years and never actually did it. Then we spent most of this year rebuilding spaceage.tv, which meant months of staring at our own logo and our own colors, and at some point somebody said out loud that the thing had never once existed off a screen.
So we made shirts and a hat. That's the whole origin story.
The natural tee
Cream keeps coming back in this brand. It's the paper-warm color our own interface leans on, and it turns out you can buy a t-shirt in it too.
It's an AS Colour 5001T in Natural, with the Spaceage Visibox logo across the chest, full-color eye mark and all. 100% cotton, vegan, midweight at 5.3 oz, knit from 28-singles yarn, preshrunk so it stays the size you ordered, double-needle hems. From $26, with 2XL and 3XL a little more.
We've tried on every one of these. The 28-singles knit is finer than the heavyweight blanks logo shirts usually land on, so it drapes instead of standing away from you like a sandwich board. It's soft the first time you put it on and it's still soft a stack of washes later. We've sold enough shirts from behind a merch table to know that most logo tees get worn once and then live in a drawer, and that it's almost always the blank's fault. So we started there.
Look inside the collar. Dot grid across the top, logo under it, and then: LET'S MELT SOME EYEBALLS. Nobody but you is ever going to see it, which felt like the right place to put it.
The dark tee
Same 5001T blank, in Black, Coal, and Charcoal, from $28, again with 2XL and 3XL a little more. The logo reverses to white type against the dark cotton, color mark still in there.
Dark shirts hide everything. Dust, cable grease, whatever got spilled on the equipment cart. That's why we made one.
The relic'd tee
Same shirt, same three colors, different print. The logo comes out cracked and faded, the way one looks after a few hundred washes.
You know the shirt at the back of the drawer that you keep reaching for. This is a shortcut to that. From $28, 2XL and 3XL a little more.
The hat
An Otto Cap 104-1018 distressed dad hat with the Visibox logo embroidered on the front, in Black and Charcoal Grey, $29. Distressed means the bill gets washed and frayed before it ever reaches you, so it shows up looking like you've had it a while. Shortcut or cheating, depending on how you feel about hats.
