Welcome to themusicologist’s ‘Tribute Tees’ (Click On Images above to Enlarge)

I have named them ‘Tribute Tees’ as for me that is exactly what they represent..authentic tributes to honour the Artists, Producers, Genres and even individual songs that have given me so much joy and guidance along ‘the way’.

Combining a lifelong passion for music and garments the ‘Project’ begun when, as a youngblood growing up on the streets of London I came across a Tee that visualised and communicated a message so well  that it became an ‘old friend’ and stuck with me like glue for more than 20 years. That Tee went everywhere with me to all corners of the globe through good times and bad and I wore it with pride until it almost fell off my back.

The subject was a Screen Print of a Studio 1 ‘45′ Label..which at the time of initial purchase, (1984), was an uncommon sight. What it symbolised, (and communicated), to and for me was my appreciation of the music that continues to provide so much pleasure. From the ‘planting’ of such a seed I dreamed that one day I would produce such a tribute myself. Since then I am fortunate enough to have been involved in various, diverse creative Projects that have all converged to lead me to this door marked ‘Tribute Tees’

From Conception to Creation all the Tees are designed, printed, labelled and bagged by myself In London, (on the premises), using natural fabrics, (Bamboo/Organic Cotton/Cotton), and 100% Solvent Free Water Based Inks. Guaranteeing a garment which matures with age and wear rather than cracks, peels and dissapears after a few washes.

The primary motivation behind the Tribute Tees is to deliver authentic, quality garments that visually communicate aspects of the wearer’s lifestyle and musical/cultural values of which they are proud on what, for me, is the most effective and affordable format.

Available as The ‘45 Classic’, (Plain White 100% Heavyweight Cotton Tee), ‘33 Classic’, (Plain White 100% Heavyweight Cotton Long Sleeve Tee), ‘45 Dubplate’, (70% Bamboo / 30% Organic Cotton mix Lightweight Tee), and ‘78 SweatShirt‘, (100% Cotton)

To see, purchase or find out more Click Here where I have setup an online portal under the Project’s proper name ‘Blood Sweat And Tees‘ hosted on an interesting site called Etsy. The price is in US Dollars and Paypal is the recommended method of payment which is not ideal but while I am in the process of designing and building a more effective Dynamic ’site’ of my own, (Soon Come !!), it’s the best I can do.

All Paypal users will be aware that to convert to and from their own currency  is a very simple process requiring no special account. Just one click on the ‘Desired Currency’ dropdown menu when completing the transaction and it’s done.

OR if preferrable an alternative, (and especially for European Cats more direct), method is to leave a comment on themusicologist stating your requirements and complete the transaction via private email and Paypal.

ALL feedback, Opinion, Critique, Suggestions on the ‘Project’ is most welcome.
