The Secret History Character T-Shirt
THE SECRET HISTORY CHARACTER T-SHIRT
A classic novel t-shirt available in black or white cotton.
The Secret History Character T-Shirt is inspired by the characters at the centre of Donna Tartt's 1992 bestselling novel The Secret History.
Set in New England, it tells the story of a closely knit group of six classics students at Hampden College, a small, elite Vermont college, under the tutelage of Professor Julian Morrow.
Told from the perspective of Richard Papen, The Secret History examines the events leading up to and the emotional aftermath of the murder Edmund 'Bunny' Corcoran at the hands of Papen, Charles and Camilla Macaulay, Francis Abernathy, and Henry Winter.

LEAD TIMES
Please be aware that we do not hold any items in stock. All t-shirts are printed on demand when ordered by our trusted print partners in the UK. Because of this, there is a required lead time from the date of purchase for your order to be picked, printed, packaged and dispatched.
Average lead times are between 3 and 5 working days. During exceptionally busy times (for example Christmas) production can take longer.
IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE
Due to the current lockdown situation and social distancing guidelines, workforces have been drastically reduced at every stage of the production process, from t-shirt suppliers to printers. This has had the unfortunate knock on effect of extending lead times significantly as a far smaller number of t-shirts can be produced and shipped.
Our printers are currently advising that orders can take up to 7 working days to be shipped.
While we appreciate this is far from ideal, we hope you can understand that these are exceptional circumstances and that everything that can be done is being done to get these times back down to normal levels.

Please note, we use First Class services within the UK, and many items can arrive extremely quickly (often 1-2 working days) however we have to advise that items can take their working day periods as stated in the average delivery time above. There is no guaranteed delivery date or tracking number available for First Class post.
Due to Royal Mail guidelines we have to allow a certain length of time for items to be delivered before they will be considered 'lost in post'. For deliveries in the UK this is 10 days, the rest of the world the wait period is 28 days. While it is rare for items to go missing, it can sometimes happen but on those rare occasions we'll do everything we can to assist and will, where necessary, arrange for a free replacement to be issued.
