Meanwhile, the exclusive new t-shirts comes with a white base and feature phrases such as 'Whole Universe,' 'Angel Vision,' 'Most Power Full,' and 'Beautiful Dreamer.' “In punk, there’s a tradition of wearing patches on your clothes, but I wasn’t really down with the patches for those bands. So I always made my own patches of things that I was really into," said Come Tees founder Sonya Sombreuil referencing the DIY nature of the new collaboration.
