Press Tee

Press Tee

A press vest is supposed to mean protection. The word PRESS is a promise written into international law: this person is a civilian, a witness — not a target.

Palestinian journalists in Gaza wore that word and were killed anyway. They kept reporting through bombardment, through the loss of their own families, through a near-total ban on foreign media that left them as the only eyes on the ground. The war in Gaza has led to the deaths of more journalists than the combined total killed during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Yugoslav Wars, and the war in Afghanistan — and Palestinian reporters carried nearly all of it. They are the reason the world saw anything at all.

This shirt carries their marking off the battlefield. To wear PRESS is to take up the same refusal: the story does not get buried with the people who told it.

You've now found the staple t-shirt of your wardrobe. It's made of 100% ring-spun cotton and is soft and comfy. The double stitching on the neckline and sleeves add more durability to what is sure to be a favorite!
