BOOKTee: I Read to Escape Reality Gothic Book Lover Tee

Reality is overrated. The books are better.
You've known this for years. 📚💀

Every time the world gets too loud, too fast, too much — you disappear into a story. Not because you're running away. Because you're running toward something realer than real: characters who feel everything, worlds that make sense, endings that mean something. You read to escape. You read to survive. You read because no algorithm, no feed, no generated content has ever made you feel the way a great book does at 1am when you should have been asleep three chapters ago.

This design was created by a real human who has definitely used books as a coping mechanism — and has zero regrets. No AI was involved in its conception, illustration, or storytelling. Reality optional.

✦ THE SHIRT
Printed on the legendary Comfort Colors 1717 — the garment-dyed heavyweight tee that feels like it's been yours forever. Relaxed unisex fit, lived-in softness, and that perfectly worn-in look right out of the box.

✦ THE FABRIC
100% ring-spun US cotton (6.1 oz/yd²). Garment-dyed after construction for that soft, vintage color and texture. Tubular knit with no side seams. Double-needle stitching for long-lasting durability. Pre-shrunk relaxed fit. Made in Honduras.

✦ THE PRINT
DTG printed with a vintage-inspired, distressed aesthetic. Dark academia skull-and-books graphic with that worn, faded feel that only gets better with time.

✦ CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach. Iron inside out on low heat.
