Foundry Beacon — Sleeveless

The ship's beacon reborn as a foundry warning-lamp over gears and rivets. Broadcasting from Alpha 9 in soot, steel, and hazard yellow. Wear it: the festival, the loading dock, the last warm night of the year. Best paired with a bad attitude and a good reason. —spz

The studio makes
$0.00

That is the whole sum. $16.27 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 $18.27 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.

Pay more than cost

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.
