Billy Bragg appeared on the scene at the same time as we did can’t trust a snake shirt. So it’s only fitting that he put in an appearance in our printing t shirts in the UK since 1977, more classic punk tees piece. With his blend of folk, punk and protest and as much activist as singer songwriter, Billy has earned a special place in the British pantheon of punk. This ‘have guitar will travel’ shirt is some authentic Eighties gold! In those early years, we printed quite a few Cramps t shirts. Part of the early CBGB punk rock movement, The Cramps started out in ’76 and are usually put into genres such as Psychobilly, garage punk, gothabilly, and horror punk. There might be a touch of that horror punk vibe in this tee. Whatever the artistic influence, it’s fair to say that it’s a dark gem.

There’s nothing quite like wearing an article of clothing to really get a handle on it can’t trust a snake shirt. The manufacturer classify the Changer sweatshirt as ‘fitted’. Not sure I’d totally agree with that. It struck me as more of a regular fitting in terms of the body styling. I’ll settle on a compromise and say that it’s comfortably fitted. Which is a positive from my perspective. This sweatshirt feels contemporary without being ridiculously tight or over-stylised. It’s a good weight at 350 GSM, yet avoids feeling too heavy.
The quality and finish on the Changer sweatshirt is exceptionally good. There are numerous small but very nice touches. A set in sleeve, twin needle stitching at the sleeve, armhole and bottom hems. Herringbone tape and the classic self fabric half moon at the back of the neck. They’re not necessarily major details, but the combined effect is one that speaks of retail quality. Defining the feel of a piece of clothing can be a difficult thing to do. It’s not the same as quantifying the weight of material or examining the quality of the stitching. There’s something almost emotional about how a garment feels on your back. The Stanley Stella Changer sweatshirt feels gorgeous. It’s probably one of the most comfortable tops that I’ve ever worn. Soft yet substantial, light yet also warm. Having worn it for several weeks, the feeling hasn’t got old. I gravitate toward it when choosing what to wear. That’s probably the highest compliment that I can pay it.
