CUSTOM ONE OFF LYRIC TEE handwritten by Kristin Hersh

✏️Choose your lyrics

I am so pleased to be able to tell you that the one Kristin Hersh has agreed to do this for us.

This is a limited  time pre-order. You need to order before the 26th April 2024, because I need to get your lyrics written by KH while she's over here in London on the 27th April.

  1. Choose your Lyric (you can change your mind at any time before the pre order ends)
  2. Choose your shirt & print colour (I will check this with you before I print if you're not sure right now)
  3. Write these in the note at the checkout
  4. Hersh will hand write your lyrics, & Sign
  5. I will print it to the shirt of your choice (if you prefer something else in your shirt, that's ok, this is your custom shirt)
  6. You get the ONE OFF shirt, plus the original signed handwritten lyric

Please be aware, that you may be waiting quite a while to get your shirt, Depending on how many orders we get. One off prints are time consuming because of the time it takes preparing screens just for 1 print. I also have a job, plus standard t-shirt things, and a life to fit in. So, I just want you to be aware it could take some time to complete this mission.

This will be the second time we have been able to do this, you can checkout a few of the photos of the ones we made last time on the blog right here.

Every Hersh shirt sold send money directly to Kristin Hersh, to help pay for studio time.

🎵 A crazy idea in my head...

I had always had this idea about lyrics handwritten by Kristin Hersh, initially, because I really wanted some lyrics as a tattoo, but I couldn't shake the idea that they needed to be in her beautifully illegible hieroglyphs and it occurred to me that if I wanted this, maybe other people did too. I'm still a little blown away that she actually said yes. So this thing that started as a crazy idea in my head, finally came out into the world... and it really has been a beautiful thing.🖤

✍️ Handwritten by Kristin Hersh, custom shirt by ElRat Designs

A beautiful collaboration, Kristin Hersh said that this was the most touching project she has ever taken part in, and I loved working with you all to make your shirt ideas a reality. Thank you so much to everyone who has been a part of this so far. If you would like to be a part of this next time, keep checking back, or join the mailing list. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.
