poorparker 1986 Bishop Sex Sells Tee Black

This is the poorparker 1986 Bishop Sex Sells Tee in black, a washed-down tee rebuilt from panels of different dark jersey joined with contrast white whipstitching across the body and sleeves. It's for someone who wants the look of a repaired, long-lived shirt without having to find and fix the original themselves.

The chest carries a motorcycle run graphic — white wings spread over a circular mountain scene reading 3rd Annual, 1986 Bishop and Millpond M.C. Run — set on a darker panel stitched into the front, with poorparker written by hand beside it. The back reads SEX SELLS in large white block letters. Small patches in blue, black and brown are hand-sewn onto the sleeves and body, each outlined in the same visible thread.

What makes it different from an ordinary vintage biker tee is the construction: the print is only the starting point, and the seams, patches and stitching are all added by hand, so no two finish the same. Buy it if you want a one-off patchwork tee rather than a clean reprint.
