The Vault — Women's Tee
The Vault, “Atlanta.” The Neko record's back room where the tapes and the bodies are kept. Members only; membership is fatal. Wear it: out loud, front and centre, one clean read from across the room. If someone compliments it, they've passed the test. —spz
What it costs
- Blank garment and printing, paid to the print partner, at the base size
- US estimate — shipping is quoted live at checkout by weight and destination.
- Larger sizes cost the printer more, so they cost you more — still at cost, never a markup.
- 2XL+$2.00$25.04
That is the whole sum. $18.55 for the item, $4.49 to ship it, and nothing left over — the shop is wired so a sale can never bill the studio and can never pay it either. Larger sizes run to $20.55 for the item, because the bigger blank costs the printer more — the studio’s take is still nothing. The book spends twenty-four doors on the line between a signal and its merch, and the only honest way to sell a shirt off the back of that argument is to show you the arithmetic.
Paying over cost is a separate, deliberate act — any amount you choose, never a markup folded into a garment. Skipping it is a completely acceptable answer.
