‘One Should Either Be a’ — Oscar Wilde Quote Tee | RQuéV Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” Oscar Wilde published this in December 1894 among his “Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young,” aphorisms so provocative they were read aloud against him at his trials months later. That a dandy’s one-liner could become courtroom evidence is worth remembering whenever self-presentation gets waved off as shallow. Wilde staked everything on the idea that surface is a serious thing — and paid for it in full.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
