Saw a bloke wearing this in the pub and had to find out where he’d got it.

Nick Hornby wrote a book about a man who loses his girlfriend but never forgets every cassette tape he made for her. All the playlists, burned into his mind. So maybe this is a man thing, the love of old cassettes and vinyl and maybe, if you’re my granddad, eight-track.

Still, this T-shirt design has appeal even if you don’t love music and didn’t learn the sleevenotes to your favourite album by heart when you were sixteen. The colourways are varied enough to wear this with jeans down the pub, like the bloke I met, or with a pair of halfway-smart trousers to go out for dinner and at $28 with postage, it’s a good deal.
