Made to Order

A banned book t-shirt that wears the ban like a badge — "THIS BOOK WAS BANNED / READ IT TWICE" printed as an aged bookplate for readers who don't hand over the library.
Dark academia freedom-to-read tee for librarians, English teachers, book clubs and anyone whose to-read list is somebody else's banned list.

Fit, fabric & care:
- Unisex cut, soft combed cotton jersey with a smooth printable face; relaxed and true to size — size up for an oversized look
- Printed with the burgundy banner, gold rules and engraved cream lettering set across the chest
- Check the size chart below before ordering
- Machine wash cold inside out with like colors, tumble dry low, do not iron directly on the print
- Made to order and printed for you, so allow a little production time before it ships

The story:
Book challenges are a growth industry, and a banned list is really a reading list. The graphic is built like an old library bookplate — burgundy ruled banner, thin gold rules, engraved sepia serif caps, a small open-book tab — so the censorship gets recorded the way libraries record everything: in the front matter, permanently.

A gift for the librarian, the English teacher, the banned-books-week organizer, or the friend who finished the challenged title in one sitting and started it again.

Full size chart with measurements is in the product images.
