Manatee Record Tee | Aqua Purple Illustration
$36.00
Inspired by the Manatees of DJ Jake Rudh's twitch channel! Original art by Kate. Soft, breathable cotton with a quiet edge — this crew tee wears like a trusted companion. Centered on the chest is a hand-drawn, circular graphic: three manatees in cool blues and violets curled around the Transmission logo. Calm and slightly whimsical, like late-night studio vibes or a cozy listening session. Lightweight fabric and a classic crew neckline keep the silhouette simple so the art can speak. Wear it to Transmission Night at the VFW, to low-key hangouts, record-store runs, or evenings spent sketching and listening to playlists. The subtle sleeve print adds an extra nod to indie craft without shouting for attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do Curethreads come from?
Curethreads are designed by Kate. Her graphics are sent electronically to print shops who print orders on demand, and ship them directly to your door. This is called “drop shipping.” Most of these print companies are located in the USA. Select items (primarily shirts and mugs) can be printed in locations in the UK, EU, Canada, China, and Australia. This is why you’ll see items marked as “EU ITEM ONLY” or categorized in the EU Shop section. When you order an item printed within your own country or territory, you avoid paying a premium for international shipping expenses, while reducing your carbon footprint.
Can you ship a USA Only item to my country?
In most cases, the answer is yes. However, international shipping may cost an additional $10-$30 USD PER ITEM. Import/export taxes will automatically be added to US items at checkout. In some cases you may also be required to pay duties to your local post office when the package arrives. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter whether the item is a “gift” or not. If you want to send it as a gift, but don’t want the recipient to have to pay duties, have the item delivered to yourself.
Care instructions
For best results, use my home-tested method: Treat Curethreads like lingerie. 🖤
1. Prep: Spot clean stains with mild detergent and cold water.
2. Turn all items inside-out before laundering, including socks!
3. Sort: Wash similar fabrics & colors together to prevent fading, friction, fuzzies, and pilling. I use mesh bags.
4. Lesson learned: DO NOT WASH Curethreads with JEANS.
5. Hand wash or machine wash on Delicates or Gentle cycle with cold water.
6. Use a mild laundry detergent. NEVER USE bleach, vinegar, or fabric softener. These weaken the bond of the fabric + ink.
7. Hang or lay flat to dry (including socks!)
8. Roll rather than fold.
All prints were created with a hot printing press, so AVOID HOT WATER to retain color & contrast.
