‘Facts Are Not Truth, but’ — Hilary Mantel Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“Facts are not truth, but the record of what’s left on the record.” Hilary Mantel said this in her first BBC Reith Lecture in 2017, separating the historian’s evidence from the fuller truth it can only gesture toward. A fact, in her account, is whatever survived to be written down — which makes the record a partial thing, and worth reading for what it leaves out.

**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).
