T-Shirt Cartel

A cartel is not a gang; it is an agreement. Cartel puts that agreement on your back in one brushstroke — the word painted fast and thick, black on top, with colour splitting through the edges: blue, orange, yellow, the way wet paint refuses to stay inside a line. The rules are written under it, in Russian, small enough that you have to be close to read them: honour above all. Loyalty to the end. Your district. Your rules. Four lines that say more about the people wearing it than about any organisation — a code you carry, not a club you join. The front repeats the word at chest size, so the tee stays clean facing forward and fills the back when you turn. It was shot on a crew in balaclavas for a reason: it is a piece that works alone and works better in numbers. Cut oversized and boxy with dropped shoulders, on a dense 250 GSM cotton jersey. Ribbed crew neck, woven label. Unisex. Fit note: cut oversized on purpose. Take your usual size for the drop we designed; size down if you want it closer to the body. Exact measurements are in the size guide. Guilty of elegance.
