Shirt No. 5

While I was distracted by family business in Seattle (where a hopeful trip to the waterfront park turned up nothing), John found a T-shirt while walking our dog in Berkeley. Score: Shirt #5.

Here's what John had to say:

Shadow and I have had a quiet day - long walk with him and then finished watching The Linguists on Babelgum and then laundry and then I walked downtown and back.

I am writing to let you know that I found a t-shirt for you.  I don't have a picture of the site but it was on Milvia just a house or two north of Rose about midway between the Poets' Garden and where Milvia crosses Codornices Creek - kind of a romantic historic locale, in Berkeley terms.

 

The shirt itself is small or medium size, about the same faded gray-green as shirt #3 on your blog, and has a block-letter logo that says "SPLIT" three times and "live since 1988" once - could be a club.  It has a few small grease spots (appear to be from food) and it smells perfumey like deodorant but otherwise seems to be pretty clean.  However, I would be glad to wash it if you want.

I'm back in Berkeley now and raring to go on some T-shirt history research. I'm also going to start cutting the shirts to produce knittable lengths of fabric. Suggestions for a project, anyone?
