poorparker Melissa Etheridge Thermal

This is the poorparker Melissa Etheridge Thermal, a grey tee printed with the Breakdown album artwork and sewn over a black waffle-knit thermal that carries the long sleeves and hem. It's for someone who chases odd, non-obvious music graphics rather than the same handful of rock tees everyone reprints.

The front holds the full album collage in blue-washed photography, with melissa etheridge set across the top and breakdown across the bottom. Two small cream patches with writing on them are hand-stitched onto the chest and lower body, and poorparker is written by hand under the collar. The grey jersey is faded unevenly and the front hem is left cut and raw where the thermal takes over.

The difference from a vintage tee as found is that the thermal has been built into it, so it works as a longsleeve without layering, and the patches and stitching are added by hand on this piece alone. Buy it if you want an unusual music graphic on something that functions as a winter longsleeve.
