MY BUDDY JOHN Unisex V-Neck T-Shirt

£29.00

This design features my 1958 sketch of John Lennon, aged 17, during his Buddy Holly period. It's a nod to our shared roots in the world's greatest city!

I drew him "from life", when we were students together at Liverpool College of Art. In this original artwork, I superimposed my sketch onto a hand-drawn skyline, featuring Liverpool’s famous Liver Building and the Anglican Cathedral by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. 

Helen says: "The classic V-neck is my favourite T-shirt shape. It elongates the neck and looks great under a blazer."

• Made of 100% combed and ringspun cotton
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Unisex fit
• Side seams
• Cover stitched v-neck and hemmed sleeves
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping

How to measure your head for my leather cap

sketch of John Lennon by Helen Anderson 

 

 
A message from Helen about sizing: 
Hats are a bit like jackets and dresses: sizes are supposed to be universal but may vary from one manufacturer to another. I can’t guarantee you a perfect fit, but I can do my best to help.

My cap is available in 4 sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), Large (L) and Extra Large (XL). It’s an investment piece, so I encourage you also to invest three minutes to find the perfect fit.

Don’t just guess your size!
John Lennon’s head measured 23.5 inches. He was a size XL (big brain!). Here's how I measured it, back in 1964 - and how you can measure yours now.
  1. Don’t panic if you don’t have a tailor’s tape measure handy. You can also use a length of string or ribbon, and then measure it against a ruler.
  2. Place the string or tape around your head about 3mm above your ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not super-tightly.
  3. I’d like you to measure your head exactly where the cap will sit. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next size up.
Remember: If you have big hair, you’ll probably need the next size up!

SIZE GUIDE

You will need to tell me your size at the time you order.

CHOOSE SMALL CHOOSE MEDIUM CHOOSE LARGE CHOOSE EXTRA-LARGE 

If you are in such a hurry to get hold of a cap that you don’t have time to measure your head, you could also check the size of another hat that fits: hat sizes are universal… in theory. Don’t see your size? Have a special request?
