They called him The Voice. Tilahun Gessesse (1940–2009) sang through Ethiopia's Golden Age with the Imperial Bodyguard Band and the Hager Fikir Theatre, and when the famine came in the seventies and eighties he used that voice to raise money for people he would never meet. That is why his name still stops a room.

This is a tribute, not merchandise. Curated by DJEZ1 from the records that raised us — the ones our parents played on Sunday mornings and never explained, because they assumed we already knew.

The garment

  • 100% ring-spun US cotton, garment-dyed after construction — soft and broken-in from the first wear
  • Heavyweight 6.1 oz, relaxed fit, pre-shrunk
  • Tubular knit with no side seams for a clean drape
  • Double-needle stitching throughout; sewn-in label
  • Sizes S–4XL

Care

Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. The colour will soften with age — that is the point.

Printed and shipped from the United States.

Size guide

Not sure of your size? Measure a shirt you already own and like. Lay it flat, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, then double that number — that is the chest measurement to match.

Exact measurements for this item are in the size table in the product description above. We print on a few different blanks — Comfort Colors, Gildan and Bella+Canvas each cut slightly differently — so the real numbers live on each product rather than in one shared chart.

Between sizes? Size down for a closer fit, up for an oversized look. Garment-dyed pieces are pre-shrunk but relax a little after the first wash.
