The tees are available for both men and women, in an assortment of bodies ranging from a dolman-sleeve crop top for women to a hand dip-dyed men’s tank top. All Blood is the New Black tees are sewn, dyed, and printed in Los Angeles.
“I’ve always loved T-shirts. From the time I was a stoned teenage skate punk rifling through the rack at the skate shop, to being a full grown adult in the one-click shopping age, it hasn’t worn off. There is something about rad shirts that never gets old for me.” Justin Blyth says. “When Blood is the New Black hit me up to concept and curate my own line for them I couldn’t have been happier. Drawing from the influences and concepts I share on my blog them-thangs.com , I pulled together the Teenage Death Cult collection, featuring shirts from myself and a handful of amazingly talented friends from across the globe.”
