Restaurant Tee

Story

An embroidered tribute to great meals

When designing their clothing, Samuel Zelig draws inspiration from unexpected places, like famous hotels, antique stores, or even the circus. For this tee, they were inspired by time spent in great restaurants—after all, there’s nothing like a good meal to get your creative juices flowing. The washed cotton jersey gives this shirt a plush feel and a vintage sun-faded look, while detailed original artwork in front-and-back embroidery makes a big impact.
