Milwaukee has the widest choice in this new drop: a portrait T-shirt in regular or acid-washed black, plus an Open Book hoodie with crosses down the sleeves. Start with the garment you will actually wear: a short-sleeve portrait piece, or a pullover layer with typography rather than a photograph.
The date-matched shortlist
Open Book cross-sleeve hoodie
The hoodie swaps the portrait for large white Gothic Open Book lettering. White crosses continue down both sleeves, so the design still reads from the side. The black pullover has a hood and front pouch pocket; the shop lists polyester as the material.
This is the practical garment switch in the group: long sleeves and a hood rather than another finish of the same T-shirt.
Black Open Book portrait T-shirt
This version keeps the framed portrait against a straightforward black cotton shirt. The white frame separates the image from the fabric, and a small red line of lettering supplies the color accent. The single front print is easy to leave visible under an open overshirt.
Pick this if the portrait is the part you care about and you want the lower listed price.
Acid-washed Open Book portrait T-shirt
A framed monochrome portrait dominates the front, with Open Book and I Laugh At Myself beneath it. The washed fabric changes the surrounding black into a mottled charcoal, while the rectangular photograph remains the focal point. The listed 260g cotton elastic fabric also distinguishes it from the regular cotton version.
This is the textured alternative if the regular portrait shirt looks too clean for your wardrobe.
The price and finish comparison

|---|---|---|
| Open Book cross-sleeve hoodie | $20.00 | $18.00 |

Which version makes sense for you?
The regular portrait T-shirt and Open Book hoodie are both listed at $20, so that choice is about shape and design. The portrait is image-led; the hoodie is typography-led with sleeve crosses. The washed portrait shirt is $34. After 10CODE, the two price points are $18 and $30.60.
Fit, care and ordering
Compare chest, shoulder and body-length measurements with a similar garment you already own. Leave room for the layer you intend to wear underneath. A jersey, hoodie and T-shirt can fit differently even when the size letter is the same.
For the listed apparel, wash cold with gentle detergent, turn the garment inside out and avoid bleach. Read the individual product page for the current material description and available options.
