Inspired by iconic cassette designs,
tapewear t-shirts let you be the tape of your choice.
After studying the underlying design principles of hundreds of cassette tapes on tapedeck.org, we developed five iconic graphical designs based on several decades' signature cassette styles. Even without naming any brands you'll recognize the tapes of your youth — and maybe even remember what you recorded on it. Printed on a shirt, the wearer gets to be the tape — a living declaration of love for music you could touch, for analog media, for auto reverse decks, for rewinding with a pencil.
Inspired by 70's cassette tape designs: light grey plastic with a slim window… Make the colours pop. Are you stereo? Got any noise reduction?
The square masterpiece of 70's tape design — wear it proud. Position:high, Dolby NR.
Inspired by 80's cassette tape designs, a big window to show off your reels of IEC II tape: Bias CR high, eq 70 Μs. You're the styler.
60's tape cassette style means rounded everything. Low noise, position normal.
 
Super precision tape cassettes: sign of the 90's - clean, sophisticated, elite.
