Che Guevara T-Shirts

The Che Guevara t-shirt, the most requested piece in the aisle

One portrait, one star on a beret, and everybody recognises the outline. Alberto Korda's photograph, taken in 1960, became the most reproduced image of the twentieth century, and the t-shirt is its natural medium. Our selection works the Che's face through every possible treatment: high contrast screen print, restrained monochrome version, pop reading in flat colour blocks, minimalist silhouette, portrait paired with a quote.

Men's and women's cuts, from S to 3XL depending on the model, in black, white, deep red, khaki or heather grey. The prints are chosen to survive the wash without cracking.

How do you choose your Che Guevara t-shirt?

Two questions are enough. First, how loud you want to be: a large centred portrait is visible from ten metres away, while a small star embroidered over the heart stays discreet in a meeting. Then the cut: classic models hang straight and age well, streetwear cuts are wider at the shoulder and longer in the body. Think about the background colour too, since a white portrait on black reads far more sharply than a black print on light grey.

What do you wear with a Che Guevara t-shirt?

In summer it stands on its own. As soon as it cools down it pairs very well with Che Guevara sweaters worn open over the top, or with Che Guevara jackets for a complete outfit. A Che Guevara cap with the red star finishes the silhouette without overloading it, and a Che Guevara bag takes over for everyday use. The full aisle is on the Che Guevara page.

Who was Che Guevara really?

An Argentine doctor turned guerrilla fighter, then Cuban minister of industry, then a travelling revolutionary until his death in Bolivia at thirty-nine: the path is far denser than the icon lets you guess. Our article on who Che Guevara was retraces the stages of his life and the building of the myth. Worth reading before wearing his face.
