I need about 20,000 leagues of personal space.

Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) · 1870

The sentence every introvert has wanted to say, at nautical scale. The number runs the width of the shirt and the 1870 squid engraving shows through it. The artwork is genuinely antique: wood engravings by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou from the first illustrated edition of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Paris, 1870-71), long in the public domain. We restore the scans, build the composition and set the type in-house. Every design in this shop is our own original composition built from authentic vintage artwork. • Printed in chalk-cream ink on the Comfort Colors 1717, a heavyweight garment-dyed 100% ring-spun cotton tee • Colors: Black, Pepper, Graphite, Navy, Sapphire, Blue Jean, Blue Spruce, Moss, Espresso, Chili, Crimson, Berry, Violet, or Red (100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed; no heathers) • Unisex sizes S to 2XL, true to size; see the size chart in the photos
