Folk-Lore Est. 1846 T-Shirt — Limited Edition Tee

In 1846, William Thoms coined the term "folk-lore" to replace the stuffy "popular antiquities." He wanted to honor the "lore of the people" - the myths, the legends, the songs passed down through generations. Folklore studies has come a long way since those days; this shirt is a nod to the legacy.

Why You’ll Love It:

• A Nod to the Nerds: Features Thoms' original hyphenated spelling from his letter to The Athenaeum for a subtle academic flex. We’re keeping the hyphen (and the history) alive.
• The Aesthetic: Classic, minimalist typography that feels at home whether you're in class, the library archive, or telling tales around a bonfire. It's the ultimate wardrobe staple: whether you dress up or dress down, always keep repping the legend.
• The Vibe: For the storytellers, the myth-makers, and anyone who knows that "once upon a time" is one of the most powerful phrases in the English language.

This Comfort Colors garment-dyed t-shirt is made with 100% ring-spun cotton. The soft-washed, garment-dyed fabric brings extra coziness to your wardrobe while the relaxed fit makes it an excellent daily choice. The double-needle stitching throughout the tee makes it highly durable, while the lack of side seams helps the shirt retain its tubular shape.
