The shirt reads: “THE DECO FIELD GUIDE” — with six labelled panels: FAN, STEP, ARC, RAY, DIAMOND, ZIGZAG.
Each motif is drawn in gold and orange inside its own cell, framed by a deco border with small green inlays at the corners.
It is a genuine reference chart. Those six shapes really are the vocabulary the whole style is built from, and the design teaches them in one glance.
For architecture and design people, for anyone who has walked around a deco building looking up, and for a shirt that is quietly educational.
