35mm Film Spec Sheet Shirt | Analog Life Vintage Tee
An owner's manual for a roll of 35mm film, printed on a garment-dyed tee. The front is laid out like a page from a 1970s equipment manual: specifications, numbered operating instructions, and a diagram of the canister with the leader out and the parts called out.
The spec table lists the delete button as not included. Step 2.2 says to take each photo once, because there is no second look. A good gift for anyone who shot a roll and waited a week to find out how it went.
Fabric & fit: Comfort Colors 1717 blank. 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed, tubular knit with double-needle stitching. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size — size up for oversized.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 35mm Film Spec Sheet Shirt?
A graphic tee styled as a vintage owner's manual page for a roll of 35mm film — spec table, numbered operating instructions, and a labeled diagram of the canister with its leader out. Printed on a garment-dyed Comfort Colors 1717 blank. Part of Vintage Life Merch's Analog Life series.
What is the "24 exposures, allegedly 27" about?
A 24-exposure roll often gave up two or three extra frames past the counter. Nobody could promise how many. The shirt lists it in the spec table anyway.
Is this a good gift?
Yes — for film photographers, for anyone who still has undeveloped rolls in a drawer, and for the people who shoot film now by choice.
What material is the shirt made of?
Heavyweight, garment-dyed, 100% ring-spun cotton. Pre-shrunk, built to hold up wash after wash.
How is the shirt printed?
DTG, in black or white ink depending on the shirt color — always strong contrast against the background.
What colors and sizes are available?
Light and dark colors, each in the ink that shows up best: Bay, Chambray, Orchid, Violet, Blossom, and Ivory in black ink; Black, Berry, Blue Jean, Blue Spruce, Seafoam, and Navy in white ink. Colors can shift slightly with availability. Sizes S–3XL.
