Broken Press Crewneck

The Broken Press Shirt is pulled from the moment a print run fails—when gears jam, ink bleeds, and the headline never makes it to page. Bleach treatments eat into the fabric like chemical corrosion, breaking down the surface and exposing its past life. Screen-printed elements sit slightly off-register, intentionally imperfect, as if the press was pushed one pull too far. Metal grommets mark stress points and repairs, referencing machinery held together just long enough to finish the job.

Available in black and white variants: black preserves what remains, absorbing the damage; white exposes it, leaving nothing to hide. Both tell the same story from opposite sides of the press.

This piece isn’t about distress for aesthetics’ sake—it’s about collapse as refusal. A garment that stops mid-production and refuses to continue on anyone else’s schedule.
