Mixtape Spec Sheet Shirt | Analog Life Vintage Tee

An owner's manual for a mixtape, printed on a garment-dyed tee. Same format as a real equipment manual — specifications, operating instructions, a labeled diagram — applied to something nobody ever wrote a manual for.

The specs are the tell: compatibility, one specific person. Shelf life, decades, tested. For anyone who ever spent an afternoon on track order, and a good gift for the person they made it for.

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 Mixtape Spec Sheet Shirt?
A graphic tee laid out like a vintage owner's manual page for a mixtape — spec table, operating instructions, and a labeled diagram of a hand-titled cassette. Printed on a garment-dyed Comfort Colors 1717 blank. Part of Vintage Life Merch's Analog Life series.

How is this different from the Cassette Tape shirt?
The cassette shirt documents the object. This one documents what somebody did with it — the specs cover track order, running time, and an audience of one.

Is this a good gift?
Yes — for the person who made mixtapes, or the person who still has one.

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.
