An owner’s manual for a VHS cassette, printed on a garment-dyed tee. The front is laid out like a page from an 80s equipment manual: specifications, numbered operating instructions, and a diagram of the cassette with the label, flap, and supply reel called out.
The spec table lists resolution as "240 lines, give or take." Step 3 says rewind before returning — not optional. A good gift for anyone who remembers a label written over two older labels.
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 VHS Tape Spec Sheet Shirt?
A graphic tee styled as a vintage owner's manual page for a vhs tape — 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 does the label get written over twice?
Blank tapes got reused until the cassette itself wore out. A label crossed out and rewritten twice meant a tape that had earned its keep, not one running out of room.
Is this a good gift?
Yes — for movie-night traditionalists, video store veterans, and anyone who still feels a flicker of guilt about a late fee.
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.
