KARATE KAT Shirt
NEXT LEVEL Unisex Ultra Soft Tri-Blend
“He taught him the secret to Karate lies in the mind and heart. Not in the paws. Maybe in the chopsticks too.” – Karate Kat
Our Karate Kat Shirt features an original acrylic painting by CA-based artist Ray Young Chu, originally the Front Cover of Issue 062.
This solid black tri-blend jersey shirt is extremely soft, fitting like a well-loved favorite and true-to-size. Printed using premium, ultra-thin Direct-to-Film technology, this design captures every vivid detail of our original artwork. Unlike heavy, rubbery transfers, this print is exceptionally thin, soft, and weightless, giving you the breathable comfort of a classic screen print with unmatched color depth.
Printed locally in Denver by ACP (formally EAC Ltd.) who are dedicated to quality, ethical practices and environmental stewardship
