Behind The Scenes

The 1st Collection

‘Destroyed To Recover’ Tee

  • The oversized tees have been designed by the nonsense team.

  • For the ‘Destroyed To Recover’ Tee, these blanks are hand distressed at the end of each sleeve. 6-7 slits are cut on each side then distressed using a handheld electric grinder.

  • This handheld electric grinder is also used to distress the shoulder seems of both sides of the tee.

  • For the bottom hem of the tee, this is cut open with fabric scissors to expose the entire hem. This exposed hem is later fused together in 3 small locations to show a visible overlock stitch. On the top of these overlock stitches, our signature purple top stitch is sewn for the length of the overlock.

‘Galaxies’ Tee

  • The oversized tees have been designed by the nonsense team.

  • A projector is utilised to provide the basic shape of the ‘swooping’ graphic. This shape is painted using water-based screenprinting ink. A mixture of white, pink, and purple ink is used to provide a gradient effect. Once complete, this graphic is pressed using a heat-press to bond the ink to the fabric and produce a permanent design.

  • The black “nonsense” logo is later pressed on top of the swoop graphic utilising the same heat-press technique.

  • Once both designs are attached the tee, each tee is cold washed using an eznyme to soften the fabric and eliminate excess ink.

‘A Non-Logo’ Long Sleeve Tee

  • The oversized long sleeve tees have been designed by the nonsense team.

  • The sleeve of each tee is layed flat and ironed to provide a flat canvas for alterations to occur.

  • A straight slit is cut for the entire length of each sleeve. These slits are opened and a 100% dark purple viscose fabric is placed within the created gap. This fabric is glued to the inside of the bottom portion of the sleeve’s slit. This fabric is then sewed to the inside of the tee’s sleeve. Once the bottom portion of the sleeve is sewed to the purple fabric, the sleeves are rejoined and sewed together. This produces an open slit with the exposed viscose fabric wedged in between.

  • A straight stitch is then sewed to the end of viscose fabric to reduce the fraying effect when washed.

  • The end of the tee’s sleeve is then fused together with an exposed overlock spanning a small portion of the entire sleeve.

  • This is repeated for each side of the tee.

  • 5 small slits are then cut into the end of each sleeve and distressed using a handheld electric grinder.
