SAVE A FILM
Admittedly, purple is not my kind of clothing color, but this shirt was too good to pass up yesterday at Graniph in Shimokitazawa.
The only real issue about it (besides the fact it is purple) is that it is cut for a really skinny Japanese guy, not some 6-foot-4 beefy fellow from Nebraska.
This means it is probably going to look better pinned up a wall than it would stretched obscenely around my torso.
Nooooooo. You gotta wear it! It will be tragic if the shirt is only pinned up on the wall. No way.

I agree. You gotta wear it.
Great T-shirt! If you can’t wear that specific T-shirt, then you need to talk to the manufacturer and have them make ‘em in your (and my) size!
Seriously though … and I’ve been talking to some of the old film guys down here in Yokohama about this … there should be some kind of organized “Save the Film” movement going on.
You’re elected!
(I mean, you have the T-shirt).
Cheers,
Kent.

It would have fit when I was about 13, but not me nearing 30.
Walking around Tokyo I see a lot of younger people with film cameras- magazines like “SNAP” and “Camera Magazine” are literary supplements to the Film Crowd- it is good to see that in Japan, where people here are more likely to keep Film alive. . .
T-shirts don’t hurt either.
