Reminds me of early Clash stage-wear, 76 into 77, which was decorated with paint like this. Paul Simonon's influence, as memory serves - of course having studied and maintained an interest in art, he was well aware of Jackson Pollock. "Give me some truth", a 1971 protest song by John Lennon, had something of a punk attitude, emphasised by Generation X (whose singer, Billy Idol, had a successful solo career in the 80s) when they recorded a cover, I think retitled "Gimme Some Truth", in 1978 (a B side to a single, though it appeared on some cuts of their first album as well, particularly the US version). At a guess I'd say Schott are aiming at this market.

I think it's kinda cool. I wouldn't pay Schott money for it for all the wear I'd get out of it, but if it turned up for buttons on ebay I'd be tempted to pick it up for wearing at gigs.


Perfect for the Prince fan, or perhaps, alongside a pair of purple selvedge, a rockabilly / workwear take on The Joker.


The feet design is a hoot. These remind me strongly of Terry Gilliam's Monty Python animations and artwork.
