FRED OTASH DETECTIVE BUREAU T-SHIRT
An American history t-shirt available in black cotton.
The Fred Otash Detective Bureau T-Shirt is inspired by the infamous 'Hollywood Fixer', private eye, smut peddler and former LA cop Freddy Otash.
Believed to have been the inspiration for the Jake Gittes character in Polanski's Chinatown, Otash developed a reputation as a wiretapper and problem solver for the rich and famous of Los Angeles.
During an illustrious, if nefarious, career he spied on Marilyn Monroe, JFK and Sinatra and gathered lurid exposes of the Hollywood elite for Confidential magazine.
Otash published his autobiography in 1976 but most recently featured as the central character in a largely fictionalised account of his confessions in Widespread Panic by James Ellroy.

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.
