Some messages arrive intact.
Others don’t.

This design captures that moment where sound reaches you, but meaning doesn’t quite follow.
Not rudeness. Not disengagement. Just signal loss.

Set in restrained, subtitle-inspired typography and printed with intentional understatement, this tee is part of the Signal Loss series — clothing that quietly communicates how the world sometimes arrives out of sync.

Because different doesn’t mean broken.
