CHARLES BUKOWSKI T-SHIRT

A classic literature t-shirt available in black cotton.

'I Don't Hate People. I Just Feel Better When They Aren't Around.'

The Charles Bukowski T-Shirt from Hellwood celebrates the infamous Poet of the Dispossessed Charles Bukowski.

Known for his gritty, unfiltered take on life, Bukowski's work reflected the darker, often overlooked aspects of human existence, making him a literary legend.

Born in 1920, Bukowski gained fame through his novels, short stories, and poetry that depicted the harsh realities of urban life, focusing on themes such as alcoholism, love, poverty, and the struggles of the working class. His brutally honest style, often laced with cynicism and humor, connected with readers who felt disillusioned by the polished ideals of society. Bukowski’s work is sometimes referred to as "dirty realism," and his legacy as an anti-establishment figure continues to resonate with writers, artists, and rebels alike.

This t-shirt, bearing one of Bukowski’s most memorable quotes, is perfect for fans of his sharp wit and profound insights. Whether you're a lover of poetry, a Bukowski devotee, or simply appreciate the humor in solitude, this tee will spark conversations and resonate with those who admire the unvarnished truths of life.

Most of our t-shirts are printed onto the Gildan range of clothing. The Gildan tees are 100% preshrunk cotton. We find these tees are particularly suited to DTG printing and are available in a wide variety of sizes and colours. Occasionally, when stock dictates, we will use a similar brand of equivalent quality.
All of our t-shirts are manufactured using the latest Direct To Garment printing (DTG) printing methods. Unlike traditional screen printing DTG does not require detailed layer seperation, screen preparation etc which makes it the ideal print solution for detailed, multi-coloured designs. As the name suggests, all our t-shirts have their designs printed directly onto the garment using specially formulated garment inks.
For best results we recommend washing all our t-shirts inside out with similar colours and on a cool 30 degree wash. To avoid any excessive shrinkage avoid the tumble dryer and let Mother Nature do her work by line drying your tee.
