An owner’s manual for a pocket transistor radio, printed on a garment-dyed tee. The front is laid out like a page from a 1960s equipment manual: specifications, numbered operating instructions, and a diagram of the radio with the antenna, dial, and speaker called out.
The spec table lists playlist as "the DJ’s problem." Step 3 says when your song comes on, do not touch anything — holding the radio also counts as touching it. A good gift for anyone who still tunes by feel.
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 Transistor Radio Spec Sheet Shirt?
A graphic tee styled as a vintage owner's manual page for a transistor radio — spec table, numbered operating instructions, and a labeled diagram. Printed on a garment-dyed Comfort Colors 1717 blank. Part of Vintage Life Merch's Analog Life series.
Why is holding the radio a problem?
A pocket transistor set pulls in signal partly through the antenna and partly through however you're holding it. Shift your grip and the station you had can drift into static — so once it's dialed in, the safest move is to not move.
Is this a good gift?
Yes — for anyone who still believes in live radio, and for the patient dial-tuners who never minded a little static.
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.
