Fern & Roby | The Archival Turntable T-Shirt

$35.00
Size:

Custom Fern & Roby t-shirt featuring an exploded view of The Archival Turntable, a reference-grade design inspired by archival and institutional listening requirements.

The design reveals the internal structure of the turntable, and shows how each component contributes to stability, isolation, and performance. At its core, the system pairs a Technics SP-10R motor unit with an SME M2-12R tonearm, set into a custom walnut and Richlite plinth engineered for damping and control.

We like how the exploded view reveals the relationships within the design—showing not just what it is, but how it works.

For those interested in the design and manufacturing process, we wrote about how our parent design and manufacturing firm Tektonics Design Group worked with the Library of Congress’ audiovisual center on an archival turntable project.

Printed on Comfort Color t-shirts with a unisex fit, made from 100% cotton. More information below on sizing.

Wash Instructions

The printing shop we partner with uses water based screen printing methods and provided us with recommendations to preserve the colors of the print.

The first strategy in preserving the print is to turn the shirts inside out prior to washing and to wash on cold, especially for the first wash. Our standard and discharge waterbased inks behave like garment dye and are subject to fading in the same way the fabric of the shirt will fade. That can be especially true on the first wash, and continues to some extent over the life of the garment, as does the fading of the garment itself. We would even recommend throwing a newly printed tee into your home dryer for a full cycle on high before washing/wearing as an additional strategy to preserve your water-based print.
