‘It Must Embrace Everything’ — Gustav Mahler Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“The symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” Mahler fired this back at Sibelius when the two compared philosophies in Helsinki in 1907 — Sibelius praising the symphony’s severity and deep logic, Mahler insisting it hold the world entire (the exchange survives through Sibelius’s memory, so the wording is his). His creed is maximalist to the bone: art should open its arms wide enough to take in everything.

**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).
