We have just added a new Rage Against the Machine T-shirt to the site! It features an angled block Rage Against the Machine Logo with Star, and is available in the following sizes:
We just added a VERY cool new design – the KISS Alive II Japanese version. This shirt features a distressed version of the “Alive II” album artwork, complete with Japanese writing, on a high-quality 30/1 black ringspun T-shirt. These shirts are noticeably more fitted and snug than standard cotton tees, so if you like a little room, you should go for a size up. We have very few of these to go around, so don’t hesitate!
