Billy Childish VIPERS TONGUE T-shirt 2025

The NEW NEW OFFICIAL Vipers Tongue T-shirt for 2025

Designed by Billy Childish

For those who appreciate the subtle fine details and quality of a vintage garment, and therefore the absolute authenticity of a high-end reproduction, this VIPERS TONGUE PRESS t-shirt is sure to delight; this is the definitive, design-classic of all time with one colour hand pulled screen print. Printed here at the L-13 Light Industrial Workshop.

Supplied by Eastman Clothing, these Ts are exact replicas of the ones originally made for the US military. Made from a superior quality ‘slub yarn’ cotton, they are constructed as per the original in terms of cut, seam-style and shade. The original Ts were made on loop-wheel, ‘body-size’ looms, i.e. there is no side-seam; it is made as a complete tube. To do this requires special looms which are only used by specialist manufacturers these days, and thus are hard to source, and expensive to produce – but it’s the proper way to make a T-shirt, and it’s the way they were made for the US military in the 1930s/40s.

Available in sizes: Sm (86 – 96 cm), M (96 – 106 cm), L ( 106 – 116 cm), XL ( 116 – 126 cm)(chest-sizes)
