 |
| 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.
