Tee Library
Literary shirts come to Boston

At Uniform: 511 Tremont Street, at E Berkeley; South End;
617.247.2360

It's tempting to show how well-read you are by bragging
about it in bars, but that inevitably leads to getting pwned
by Matt Damon and having him subsequently taunt you from
outside a Dunkin' Donuts. Better move, rocking literary tees
from Tee Library.

Created to help you remember the books you've read, TL is a
clever new line of Korean graphic tees whose images, words,
and designs are inspired by classic literature and timely
non-fiction, and whose collectible packaging is designed to
look like an antique leather library book replete with a
one-page insert that tells the shirt's story, although
you'll probably just wait until they make it into a movie.
Well-known fiction derived tees include Portrait Sculpture
by Socrates, a blue crewneck illustrated w/ a stone bust of
the philosopher sticking out his tongue; a white short
sleeve depicting an ominous and top hat-clad Dr. Jekyll/Mr.
Hyde over Stevenson's words "All human beings are commingled
out of good and evil"; and the grey heather Under the Sea
which features an illustration of Jules Verne sitting atop
his yellow submarine 'Nautilus' above the phrase, "19,999
leagues under the sea", most likely after having made the
common mistake of forgetting about the WNBA. If you're more
about interpreting the non-fiction, there's Addiction, a
black cotton crewneck that illustrates three addicting
substances (Caffeine, Morphine, Nicotine) in a Venn diagram;
a brown tee with the scripted words "light" and "shadow"
digitally printed on metaphorically opposing black/white
paint splotches; and a shirt featuring a naked woman formed
out of smoke billowing from a cigarette, called My
Anti-Drug, which the shirt's creator was clearly not hooked on.

Other TL designs include a Gulliver's Travels-inspired
two-sided drawing (head on the front, feet on the back) of
Lemuel being tied down by the Lilliputians, and a yellow
short sleeve with a straw hat-wearing farm boy screaming
"Wolf!", which is yet another tale Matt Damon probably
memorized just to bang your girlfriend, Minnie Driver.

Reading has never been more fun than at the TeeLibrary.com
